Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (IOF) is a part of SEADATANET Virtual Ocean Data Centre. IOF is also developing protocols for data collection and transmission from ships, buoys and land stations to data centre in real-time and near real-time. Data centre develops various web pages for online data access and also software for data visualisations, web publishing and real-time quality control. IOF participates in many national and international projects, such as: Croatian national monitoring project “Jadran”, membership in International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange system (IODE), and Information System for the Promotion of Aquaculture in the Mediterranean (SIPAM).
