Ocean+ Library connects to the latest data and online resources on ocean biodiversity. With technological advances, access to ocean data has increased dramatically, including information on the state of the ocean and its resources. Through Ocean+ Library, identify the online data and information you need to make decisions about what matters to you. Marine and coastal data can be used to support a variety of activities and purposes. These have been grouped into five themes and examples for each are provided: marine spatial planning, education, environmental impact assessment, ecosystem assessment, ecosystem services and natural capital.
