Our Work
Promoting Cooperation in Management of Africa’s Oceans
Ocean Observation & Monitoring
Ocean observations play a foundational role in documenting the state and variability of components of the climate system and facilitating climate prediction and scenario development.
Ocean Sciences & Assessments
The IOC ocean science portfolio of activities aims at fostering knowledge generation in IOC Member States through the design and pursuit of common research agendas
Ocean Governance & Legislation
For science to effectively inform policy, it is imperative to have strong legal structures, political will, funding, leadership, and public engagement.
Training & Research Opportunities
Capacity Development enables all member states to participate in, and benefit from, ocean research and services that are vital to sustainable development.
United Nations Decade of Ocean Science
The UN Ocean Decade designed 10 Challenges to complete before the decade is over. The Challenges are ambitious, so the Vision 2030 Initiative was set up to support each of the 10 Challenges.
