IOC criteria and guidelines on the transfer of marine technology.
(UNESCO, Paris, France, 2005)
The criteria and guidelines aim at applying the provisions of Part XIV (Development and transfer of marine technology) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), providing a critical tool to promote ...
Case histories for Harmful Algal Blooms in desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Algae have long been an issue impacting desalination plant operation in areas prone to algal
blooms or where macroalgae (seaweeds) and detritus became dislodged from the seabed.
Previously and still today, operators and ...
Quality Control of in situ Sea Level Observations: a Review and Progress towards Automated Quality Control, Vol. 1.
(UNESCO, Paris, France, 2020)
The Global Sea-Level Observing System (GLOSS, https://www.gloss-sealevel.org/) is an international programme conducted under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO. GLOSS aims at the ...
UNEP/IOC Guidelines on Survey and Monitoring of Marine Litter.
(United Nations Environment Programme, Nairobi, Kenya, 2009)
Globally our awareness of both the pervasiveness and magnitude of marine litter and the associated
environmental and social problems is growing (Ribic et al. 1992, ANZECC 1996a, GESAMP 2001,
Kiessling 2003, Cho 2005, ...
Indicator Methodology for SDG 14.3.1: Indicator description; Metadata template; Data template; Metadata instructions.[ 4 files]
(International Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2019)
This indicator is based on observations that constrain the carbon system, which are required to capture the variability in ocean acidity at locations providing ocean services. The carbon system in this context refers mainly ...
Marine Spatial Planning: a step-by-step approach toward ecosystem-based management. Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and Man and the Biosphere Programme.
(Unesco, Paris, France, 2009)
In this guide, we use a clear, straightforward step-by-step approach
to show you how you can set up and apply MSP. Most steps are illus-

Algal issues in seawater desalination.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Once harmful algal blooms (HABs) reach a desalination plant, they can cause significant
operational issues and potential health concerns for consumers. These issues stem from two
factors – first, the algal cells produce ...
Designing an observing system for early detection of harmful algal blooms.
(Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, Paris, France, 2017)
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a serious and growing threat to many desalination plants. It
is therefore important to limit the impact from HABs by preventing blooms from reaching
seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants ...
Recommendations for improved and coherent acquisition and processing of backscatter data from seafloor-mapping sonars.
(2018)
Multibeam echosounders are becoming widespread for the purposes of seafloor bathymetry mapping, but the acquisition and the use of seafloor backscatter measurements, acquired simultaneously with the bathymetric data, are ...
