Established jointly in January 2023 by Fugro and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission IOC of UNESCO (IOC/UNESCO) in its role as coordinator of the Ocean Decade, the Corporate Data Group (CDG) comprises private sector companies representing a wide variety of marine industries, including fisheries, energy, telecommunications and marine contractors.
The goal of the Corporate Data Group is to establish strategies and best practices for private sector organisations to provide public access to their privately owned ocean data. This work will help fill data gaps to boost our scientific understanding of the ocean and help develop sustainable solutions and policies to reverse the cycle of decline in the ocean’s health. It will also provide valuable new insights to private companies operating offshore and in coastal environments.
