  • Dataset

    Artificial Light at Night Along Coastlines

    A dataset of biologically relevant artificial light at night (ALAN) that penetrates throughout the global ocean's estuarine, coastal and near shore regions, in particular the area defined by an individual country's Exclusive Economic Zone.

  • Dataset

    Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Analysis and Forecast

    A dataset of daily and monthly mean files of biogeochemical parameters (chlorophyll, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, dissolved oxygen, dissolved iron, primary production, phytoplankton, PH, and surface partial pressure of carbon dioxyde) over the global ocean.

  • Dataset

    Key Biodiversity Areas

    A quantitative assesment that prioritizes the top 30% areas for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) globally using global scale measures of biodiversity from the species to ecosystem level.

  • Dataset

    Map of Marine Regions

    A dataset that represents the boundaries of the major oceans and seas of the world.

  • Dataset

    OceanSODA-ETHZ for Ocean Acidification

    A global data set of relevant acidification surface ocean parameters from 1985–2018. It was created by using satellite and other data sources to extrapolate ship-based measurements of carbon dioxide and total alkalinity to compute ocean acidification parameters.

  • Dataset

    Plastic Waste Accumulated in Aquatic Environments

    A global dataset of the amount of plastic waste that has accumulated in aquatic environments by region annually since 1951.

  • Dataset

    Plastic Waste Generation by Region and Industrial Sector

    A dataset that provides estimates of plastics waste per polymer and application for the 15 global regions from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Plastics Outlook.

  • Dataset

    Share of Global Plastic Waste Emitted into the Ocean

    A 2019 global estimate of riverine plastic emissions into the ocean.

  • Goals

    Convention for Biological Diversity

    The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was adopted COP15 following a four year consultation and negotiation process. It supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and builds on the Convention’s previous Strategic Plans and sets out an ambitious pathway to reach the global vision of a world living in harmony with nature by 2050. Among the Framework’s key elements are 4 goals for 2050 and 23 targets for 2030.

  • Goals

    Paris Agreement

    The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty that was adopted at COP21 by 195 parties. It sets a limit on global warming and lays out an assessment plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.
