The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was established to promote international and intergovernmental coordination of programs in marine research, services, observation systems, hazard mitigation, and capacity development in order to understand and better manage the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas. Exchange of data and information, standardization of procedures and intercomparison of methods and equipment remain amongst IOC-UNESCO’s top priorities and the IOCCP helps to fulfil these in the marine biogeochemistry realm.
