This center acts as the regional focus for data compilation and co-ordination activities for Seabed 2030 in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean region. The Atlantic and Indian Oceans Regional Center covers an area of more than 140 million km2 and extends from 60°N to 50°S, from the Americas in the west to Australia in the East (to 140°E).
