What is PCCOS?
The Pacific Community (SPC) is the region’s hub for science, technology and innovation for sustainable development, and home to the Pacific Community Centre for Ocean Science, or PCCOS.
PCCOS aims to help Pacific Island governments and communities easily access the ocean science and expertise they need to make informed decisions and to protect and sustainably manage ocean resources.
Why do we need a Centre for Ocean Science?
Whilst accurate ocean science, data, and information are critical tools, SPC recognises that actors on the ground in our member countries need advice and services tailored to their needs. PCCOS delivers integrated scientific services supporting: Ocean Management, Ocean Governance, and Ocean Observations.
Facilitating, coordinating and transforming ocean science into services for SPC members.
