Bjerknes Climate Data Centre
The Bjerknes Climate Data Centre (BCDC) serves the data obtained, and the data syntheses assembled, by researchers within the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research(BCCR). Furthermore, it is open for all interested scientists independent of institutions. All data from the different disciplines at BCCR (e.g. geology, oceanography, biology, model community) will be archived in a long-term repository, interconnected and made publicly available by the BCDC. BCDC has collaborations with many international data repositories and actively archives metadata and data with those ensuring quality and FAIRness.
BCDC has its main focus on data management services for external and internal funded projects in the field of climate research, providing data management plans and ensuring that data is archived according to the best practices in the field. The data management services rank from project work for the small external funded project, to state-of-the-art data management services for research infrastructures on the ESFRI roadmap (e.g. RI ICOS – Integrated Carbon Observation System), and providing products and services for Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Services.
In addition, BCDC is advising various communities on data management services e.g. IOC UNESCO, OECD, IAEA, and various funding agencies. BCDC will become an Associated Data Unit (ADU) under IODE, International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange, a worldwide network that operates under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO and aims to become a part of ICSU World Data System.

British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility - National Oceanography Centre
Operated by the NOC, BOSCORF is the UK national deep-sea core repository, set up by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to store marine sediment cores collected by NERC ships and NERC-funded researchers.
Deep-sea sediment cores are an expensive and unique resource of immense scientific value. BOSCORF provides specialised facilities for the long-term storage and curation of cores with the aim of making the material available to scientists, and to promote secondary usage amongst the scientific community.
BOSCORF provides specialist non-destructive logging facilities and cores entering the repository are routinely logged. BOSCORF maintains databases of its collections, and these can be searched online through the EU-SEASED European online core catalogue.

Eastern South Pacific - Ocean Biodiversity Information System
Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) is an open-access platform that contributes to facilitating free and free access to information on marine biodiversity, it is an alliance between institutions and professionals that is made up of 24 nodes worldwide.
ESP-OBIS (Eastern South Pacific) represents the regional node (RON) of the Eastern South Pacific and its main mission is to establish links with data providers, as well as guarantee the quality of the data published on the platform.
ESP-OBIS is responsible for the dissemination of data and information on the distribution of species and biodiversity in waters of the Eastern South Pacific. Our role is to promote open access to data on marine species in the region through the OBIS portal, as well as to promote the OBIS data management guidelines to the scientific community in the region. Likewise, we can provide support to government entities for decision-making on conservation and management areas.
ESP-OBIS was launched in 2008 to contribute to the global initiative of the international OBIS program, whose fundamental mission is the search, compilation, and integration of marine diversity from all areas that comprise the region, with a focus on the coastal system, areas oceanic and deep-ocean communities.

Global Ocean Accounts Partnership
The Global Ocean Accounts Partnership responds to the urgent need to interlink different types of data, statistics and other evidence concerning oceans, and embed use of this connected evidence in laws, policies and development planning. The Partnership is a coordination and communication structure for diverse member institutions, who have a common interest to ensure that the values and benefits of oceans are recognized and accounted for in decision-making about social and economic development. The Partnership will achieve this objective by developing a shared technical framework for ocean accounting, coupled with collaborative capacity-building activities that support the development, maintenance, and ongoing use in decision-making, of holistic ocean accounts that link together social, environmental and economic statistics.

GODAE OceanView
In 2009, with the clear understanding that the GODAE achievements needed to be continued and built upon, two new groups emerged from GODAE to take on the ongoing challenges and demands of operational oceanography:
GOV - GODAE OceanView;
ET-OOFS - JCOMM Expert Team for Operational Ocean Forecasting;
GOV-JCOMM-relationship.
The GODAE OceanView Science Team (GOVST) continues to provide coordination and leadership in consolidating and improving global & regional ocean analysis and forecasting systems on an international level.
The GOVST aims to encourage international collaboration to address the scientific and technical challenges associated with operational oceanography. The role of GOVST is to foster research that will lead to the enhancement of existing systems and the development of next generation systems. The GOVST is linked to JCOMM, but has a free remit to investigate a wide range of scientific and technical issues.

Many scientists in government institutions and in academia are carrying out research within the Strait of Georgia. Many of these programs are long term programs, while others last only a few years. Some projects are very collaborative in nature; others are being implemented by academics that may be at institutions overseas.
The following inventory provides information on many of the researchers currently working (or have recently worked) on projects within the Strait of Georgia.
