Offers a collection of informative pieces and activities centered around the world's oceans. Divided into four principal sections, each of which features an article, brief sidebars, video clips, and in some cases, animations.

A complete tutorial about atmosphere, climate, waves, currents, tides, beaches, sediment transport, storms, tsunamis.

Develops, coordinates, maintains, and makes available inventories of marine data; develops guidelines for oceanographic data management; improves mechanisms to facilitate data exchange and the availability of this data for research and wealth creation.

An online, open-access, globally-distributed network of systematic, ecological, and environmental information systems. Collectively, these systems operate as a dynamic, global digital atlas to communicate biological information about the worlds oceans.

Resource database for Gulf of Mexico research. It includes research institutions, researchers, research projects, and other information about the Gulf, from the U.S., Mexico, and Cuba.

Designed to be a single point of access to NOAA coral reef information and data products, especially those derived from NOAA's Coral Reef Initiative Program. CoRIS will evolve and grow in the months ahead to encompass an ever widening array of product and information offerings.

An educational internet offering for all who wish to learn about, discover, and virtually explore the ocean realm.

Extensive links to Indian Ocean resources, bibliography, and FAQ.

The EurOcean Internet portal is a focal point of information for all actors with interest in marine science and technology. It provides information in three main domains: marine research infrastructures, national and European RTD programmes.

Organisation based in the Netherlands that provides systems and projects for information and data related to the sea. Explore current and planned projects.

Offers a collection of teacher-reviewed marine education resources that provides educators with a source of information on marine science topics.

An international program using autonomous floats to collect temperature, salinity and current data. It aims to provide a quantitative description of the changing state of the upper ocean and the patterns of ocean climate.

Multimedia distance training package on Integrated Coastal Zone Management. Includes documentation.

The IERS collects, calculates, analyzes, archives, and distributes data relating to non-tidal changes in oceanic processes affecting the Earth's rotation, deformation, gravitational field, and geocenter.

Geological and geophysical data from the ocean basins and European continental waters, held at European institutions.

Known for its preeminence in scientific disciplines relating to biology, physics, chemistry, climatology, geosciences, and geophysics. Includes articles, videos and archives.

Access to the UK Tide Gauge Network data holdings maintained at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC).

Provides consolidated sea-level information and analysis from multiple sources. Resources and climate related links.

Distributes satellite altimetry data. Data is used to study ocean dynamics and geophysics in climate prediction, monitoring of mean sea level, global warming, El Niño and La Niña events, marine currents and ocean circulation, and marine modeling.
