The Marine Information Clearing House contributes to the development of ocean research and maritime industry, so that it is possible to easily retrieve and use the ocean information and data owned and provided by each institution in Japan. It is a system that provides location information such as acquisition methods in a database and provides it via the Internet.
The ocean information handled by this system covers not only natural science-based information such as water temperature, ocean currents, and marine weather, but also social information such as legal systems related to the ocean and disaster prevention information. Not only offline, but also ocean information of each medium.
