GLOBAL OCEANS NGO DIRECTORY

The Global Directory of Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) working on issues of oceans, coasts and islands is a comprehensive and current information source to aid those working in the marine field in identifying partners, colleagues, and networks. Establishment of such connections will assist the public sector, academic and research sectors, and non-governmental, intergovernmental, governmental organizations in their work and will serve to further the implementation of the targets and goals pertaining to oceans, coasts, and islands developed at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. NGOs are critical partners and participants who can advance concern of oceans, coasts, and islands on international, regional, and national agendas.

The directory lists international, regional, and national NGOs, their contact information, and descriptions of their missions, activities, and history. The full directory document is available for download below. For easy searching and browsing, please refer to the Index below that has the organizations listed by region and country.

In addition, a mechanism for updating the directory is included. Those finding missing pieces in the directory or needs for revision (especially with changing contact information) can fill out a template and submit it for incorporation into the directory.
