Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO
France · Data/Tech, Education/Policy, Mangroves/Coastal
The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO is the UN body that promotes international cooperation in marine science, ocean observation, tsunami warning systems, ocean literacy, and sustainable ocean management. It coordinates the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and supports member states with knowledge, capacity building, and policy action.
Comisión Colombiana del Océano
Colombia · Data/Tech, Education/Policy, Mangroves/Coastal
Comisión Colombiana del Océano is Colombia’s national ocean commission responsible for coordinating ocean policy, marine science, coastal management, ocean data, and maritime affairs. It leads interinstitutional committees, scientific expeditions, and national initiatives related to the ocean, coastal spaces, and Antarctic affairs.
NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science
USA · Data/Tech, Corals/Biodiversity, Mangroves/Coastal
NCCOS delivers ecosystem science solutions for the stewardship of US ocean and coastal resources, across eight science areas from harmful algal blooms and corals to aquaculture development, pollution and coastal change. Part of NOAA's National Ocean Service, it operates laboratories in North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland and Alaska.
EU Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters
Belgium · Education/Policy, Corals/Biodiversity, Waste/Pollution, Carbon/Climate, Data/Tech
The EU Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters is a Horizon Europe framework organised around three objectives: restoring ocean and water ecosystems, preventing and eliminating pollution, and making the sustainable blue economy circular and carbon-neutral. It works through a Charter that stakeholders endorse and a service portal offering tools, contacts, knowledge, matchmaking and financing, with actions pledged towards 2030.
NOAA Research
USA · Data/Tech, Carbon/Climate
NOAA Research, the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, conducts research to understand and predict the Earth's oceans, weather and climate, and transitions the results into usable services.
