The World Conservation Monitoring Centre provides information services on conservation and sustainable use of the world's living resources, and helps others to develop information systems of their own.

         

        Marine Programme

        WCMC maintains a large amount of information relating to marine and coastal environments and their conservation. Increasingly, this information is managed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Particular attention is devoted to mapping sensitive coastal ecosystems and this information is of interest to oil companies for oil spill emergency response and contingency planning.
