IODE (International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange)

The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) is a global initiative that aims to promote the sharing and accessibility of oceanographic data and information. It helps countries collaborate by providing a framework for collecting, managing, and distributing ocean-related data, such as temperature, salinity, and biodiversity information. This exchange supports scientific research, policy-making, and environmental management, enhancing our understanding of oceans and their role in climate and ecosystems. By facilitating data sharing, IODE contributes to informed decisions that benefit society and the health of the world's oceans.
