The ShoreZone mapping system has been in use since the early 1980s and has been applied to more than 120,000 km of shoreline in Alaska, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. As of 2018, approximately 94% of the state has ShoreZone imagery and of the area imaged approximately 98% is mapped. This project has been funded by NOAA and a number of other agencies and organizations throughout the years.
This standardized system catalogs both geomorphic and biological resources at mapping scales of better than 1:10,000. The high resolution, the attribute-rich dataset is a useful tool for extrapolation of site data over broad spatial ranges for creating a variety of habitat models and oil spill response tools.
Low tide, oblique aerial imagery sets this system apart from other mapping efforts. You can "fly the coastline" (aerial video), view and download still photos, and access physical and biological data using our interactive website. Power users can download the entire ShoreZone geodatabase.

The European Atlas of the Seas (hereafter ‘the Atlas’) is an easy to use and interactive web-based geographic application, providing general marine data and maritime information along with statistics on the European seas and coasts. The Atlas catalogue of maps covers various natural and socio-economic aspects and features in the marine and coastal regions of Europe.
The Atlas is a public window to access information and maps based data originating primarily from the EC and its agencies and from the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). Its aim is to bring statistical data in a comprehensive visual way to a broad public and at the same time serve as a support for the marine policy and blue economy.
(1) Access the help, legal notice and feedback form
(2) Discover all the data available: you can search for map layers in the search box, select a predefined map or create your own map.
(3) On the map viewer, you can study and compare the data and extract and manage the content details.
(4) Share the map, download the map or share it via social networks.
* The Atlas is available in the 24 official EU languages.

European Marine Observation and Data Network
The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is a network of organisations supported by the EU’s integrated maritime policy. These organisations work together to observe the sea, process the data according to international standards and make that information freely available as interoperable data layers and data products.
EMODnet provides access to European marine data across seven discipline-based themes: Bathymetry, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Human Activities, Physics and Seabed Habitats. For each of these themes, EMODnet has created a gateway to a range of data archives managed by local, national, regional and international organisations. Through these gateways, users have access to standardized observations, data quality indicators and processed data products, such as basin-scale maps. These data products are free to access and use.
EMODnet is financed by the European Union under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.

IMOS Marine Data and Science e-lectures (ODIS id: 479)
The Integrated Marine Observing System e-lectures are designed for marine scientists. These lectures are designed to be topic-specific to provide you with a hands-on approach to learning by teaching you how to use real ocean observational datasets collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System.
There are three different topics covered in these lectures: Ocean Primary Productivity, the Carbon Cycle and Acidification.
The modules were developed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) in collaboration with the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN), the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).
Learning outcomes
By the end of this course,
You will know the basics of ocean primary productivity/ ocean carbon cycle/ ocean acidification.
You will be able to explain which processes are involved in primary productivity/carbon cycle/ocean acidification, how it is measured and why it is important.
You will learn different methods of ocean observing including in situ and remote sensing and how these observations can be used.
You will gain knowledge of the advantages of open data and know where to find ocean data through the Australian Ocean Data Network or other databases and how to access these datasets.
You will gain experience on how to analyse and interpret the data with options given on coding languages to achieve this. The data laboratories are developed in Matlab and either in R or Python, or both.

Index of coastal eutrophication (ICEP)
This video shows how the index for coastal eutrophication potential (ICEP) is measured. it is based on loads and ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus and silica delivered by rivers to coastal waters. This indicator assumes that excess nitrogen or phosphorus relative to silica will result in increased growth of potentially harmful algae (ICEP>0)

Maine In-sity Sound and Color Lab: Ocean Optics Class 2017 - Calibration and Validation for Ocean Color Remote Sensing (ODIS id: 587)
Maine In-sity Sound and Color Lab: Ocean Optics Class 2017 - Calibration and Validation for Ocean Color Remote Sensing
Our laboratory specializes in the interpretation of physical properties of aquatic environments. We test, calibrate and deploy a variety of sensors in particular those that measure optical properties.
Two approaches characterize the use of these measurements: the 'forward' approach consists of understanding how different properties of material in aquatic environments contribute to the optical and acoustical properties of the ocean. The 'inverse' approach consists of determining the properties of the material in aquatic environments (e.g. concentration, size, composition) from in-situ or remotely measured optical and acoustical properties.
We regularly test and deploy novel commercial instruments. As such the data sets we collect are unique. We share the data we collect with the community. If you are looking for data feel free to contact us and we will be happy to provide it to you with no strings attached except acknowledgment to the grant that funded collection of the data.
The referred web page links to data, instruments, code, papers and videos of lectures related to the Ocean Optics class 2017.

Vital information to monitor and evaluate progress towards SDG 14 is available, but it is fragmented across scientific domains, policy frameworks and institutions. ESCAP and UN Environment are leading a global effort to develop statistical guidance based on the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA). National pilots of statistical guidance under development have been undertaken to ensure the guidance is relevant, practical and useful to policy and decision makers. This resource provides access to national pilots for China, Canada, Malaysia, Samoa, Thailand and Vietnam.

Ocean Data View
Ocean Data View (ODV) is a software package for the interactive exploration, analysis and visualization of oceanographic and other geo-referenced profile, time-series, trajectory or sequence data. ODV runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and UNIX (Solaris, Irix, AIX) systems. ODV data and configuration files are platform-independent and can be exchanged between different systems.
Use ODV to produce:
- property/property plots of selected stations,
- scatter plots for sets of stations,
- color sections along arbitrary cruise tracks,
- color distributions on general isosurfaces,
- temporal evolution plots of tracer fields,
- differences of tracer fields between repeats,
- geostrophic velocity sections,
- animations (3MB)
- interrupted maps.
ODV can display original data points or gridded fields based on the original data. ODV has two fast weighted-averaging gridding algorithms as well as the advanced DIVA gridding software built-in. Gridded fields can be color-shaded and/or contoured. ODV supports five different map projections and can be used to produce high-quality cruise maps. ODV graphics output can be sent directly to printers or may be exported to PostScript, gif, png, or jpg files. The resolution of exported graphics files is specified by the user and not limited by the pixel resolution of the screen.
The ODV data format allows dense storage and very fast data access. Large data collections with millions of stations can easily be maintained and explored on inexpensive desktop and notebook computers. Data from Argo, GTSPP, CCHDO, CORA, World Ocean Database, World Ocean Atlas, World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), SeaDataNet, and Medar/Medatlas can be directly imported into ODV. Ready-to-use versions of the WOCE data, the gridded World Ocean Atlas as well as many other important geoscience datasets are available for download.
ODV also supports the netCDF format and lets you explore and visualize CF, COARDS, GDT and CDC compliant netCDF datasets. This works with netCDF files on your local machine as well as with remote netCDF files served by an OPeNDAP server. Climate data in netCDF format are available here.
The various global or regional high-resolution coastline and topography resources can be installed via the View>Settings option. Packages for special regions of interest can be produced on request.
ODV has more than 70,000 registered users at leading research institutes worldwide. The UNESCO Ocean Teacher project employs ODV as one of its main analysis and display tools. In addition, ODV is used as a visualization tool for the Pangaea information system. Pangaea data sets can be easily converted into ODV collections using the Pan2Applic application.
ODV may be used free of charge for non-commercial, non-military research, and teaching purposes. If used in scientific papers, reports, or posters, ODV must be referenced as follows: Schlitzer, Reiner, Ocean Data View, odv.awi.de, 2020. Usage of ODV for commercial and military purposes requires the purchase of an ODV software license. For more information please see the ODV license document.
