History and missions of the Data Centre

SISMER (Systèmes d'Informations Scientifiques pourla Mer) is the Designated National Oceanographic DataCentre for France (French NODC) for the InternationalOceanographic Data Exchange programme (IODE) ofUNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission(IOC).

It was created in 1990, following the former BureauNational des Données Océaniques (BNDO created in1968) and belongs to the Informatics and Marine DataDepartment (IDM) of IFREMER, the main Frenchgovernment research agency devoted to ocean researchand exploitation.

IFREMER

IFREMER (the French Institute of Research and Exploitation of theSea), a public institute of industrial and commercial nature, createdby a decree of 5 June 1984, is the only French body with anexclusively maritime vocation.

It is placed under the joint authority of the Ministries of Researchand Technology, of Fisheries and Equipment and Transport.

Annual budget : 150million €,

1700 executives, researchers, engineers, seamen, technicians andadministrative staff

Around 70 laboratories of research or service departments, locatedin 5 centres (Boulogne-sur-mer, Brest, Nantes, Toulon, Tahiti) and 21stations along the entire coastline of metropolitan France and inFrench overseas territories

7 vessels (3 for coastal seas) , 1 manned + 1 remote submersibles(Nautile and Victor), various anchored and drifting platformsequipped with scientific instruments.
