SUMARIZING
The IEO through its research work contributes to
knowledge of the oceans and their resources working in
collaboration with public or private partner organizations.
IEO also transfers knowledge through its expert advice
to Decision Makers with special attention to questions
related with human and climate change impact
on marine ecosystems.
IEO represents the Spanish Government before
international oceanographic organizations and
commissions.
IEO operates tools for observation, experimentation and
monitoring, manage oceanographic databases and their
research fleet and other facilities. These facilities are
