UNESCO-IOC Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange

The UNESCO-IOC Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange is a global effort to share and manage ocean-related data among scientists, governments, and organizations. It ensures that ocean observations, research findings, and information are accessible, reliable, and useful for understanding marine environments. This collaboration helps improve ocean monitoring, protect ecosystems, support sustainable use of ocean resources, and inform policies. Essentially, it creates a structured system for collecting, sharing, and using ocean data worldwide to benefit scientific research, environmental management, and policy-making.
