This Web site is offered as a service to the community of scientists who are concerned with building capacity for ocean sciences,

observations, and data/information management. Developed countries have well established educational systems, but many 

countries in developing regions of the world are still setting up sustainable educational systems. Several international organizations 

carry out a range of complementary capacity building and development activities and have been begun to coordinate their efforts.

Direct links to organizations with capacity development pages are given at the left; for those with activities in capacity development,

but no specific pages, we offer information in a standard format.
