Ocean Project Portfolio Management System

Ocean systems

Every variable carries what is known about it in the world: 83 have a published global value, 67 are meaningful only at local scale, and 24 are not measured anywhere — a finding about the state of ocean science rather than a missing entry. See the full reference and why the gaps exist.

Rows are variables in the SEEA sense — a variable becomes a condition indicator when it is compared with a reference state. They are grouped by subcategory and by the item they describe; a group's figure is the weighted mean of the variables under it that carry a reference level, with its coverage stated beside it. They are tinted by what is known about them in the world: teal means a published global value, amber means real but site-specific data, grey means the quantity is not measured anywhere. Components of the Ocean Accounts framework are shown separately because the framework does not aggregate them into a single figure. Absence of reported projects is not evidence that no work is happening — only that none has been reported here. Click ⓘ on any row for the world value, its reference state, its caveats and its source. See Enter variable data (Scientist/Administrator only).
