IOC_IQ-HAB-2023
IOC/OTGA/HAB: Training Course and Identification Qualification in Harmful Marine Microalgae 2023
Since 1993 the IOC has conducted training courses on harmful microalgae. The purpose has been to improve the taxonomic and identification skills of the participants for research purposes and for practical monitoring of harmful algal blooms.
From 2006 the IOC training in HAB identification has been offered within a new framework which gives accreditation. The present course includes now a practical exam at the end of the course with an IOC Certificate of Proficiency in Identification of Harmful Algae issued to participants who pass the exam. We know by experience that many of the more than 500 trainees we have had over the years have wished the courses to give accreditation, and in some countries, the IOC courses have become a reference for laboratories to be approved for carrying out regulatory monitoring for harmful microalgae.
The IOC Science and Communication Centre on Harmful Algae, University of Copenhagen, Denmark is organizing the course.

Ocean Literacy: Why the ocean should matter to us all (Self Paced)
We all depend on the ocean, yet Ocean Literacy needs to be further enhanced worldwide. Ocean Literacy (OL) is ‘the understanding of human influence on the ocean and the ocean’s influence on people’. It is not only about increasing awareness on the state of the ocean, but it is also about providing tools and approaches to transform ocean knowledge into actions that promote ocean sustainability.

A mudança que precisamos para o Oceano que queremos - Literacia do Oceano com escolas
O curso pretende aumentar a capacidade dos professores para tomar
decisões, bem como comunicar e ensinar, sobre o oceano. Além disso,
pretende potenciar o papel dos professores e educadores como
multiplicadores desta capacidade, aumentando a capacidade dos seus
alunos e comunidades escolares de transformar o conhecimento em efetivas
mudanças de atitude. O curso abordará a Literacia do Oceano sob a
abordagem multiperspetiva consagrada pela UNESCO e insere-se nos
Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 4 (Educação de Qualidade), 6
(Água potável e Saneamento), 12 (Produção e Consumo Sustentáveis), 13
(Ação Climática) e 14 (Proteger a Vida Marinha) da Agenda 2030. O curso
fornecerá conhecimentos e ferramentas para a sala de aula que fomentam o
pensamento crítico e compreensão sobre o oceano, aumentam a consciência
sobre a nossa relação diária com o oceano e os nossos comportamentos
que impactam a sustentabilidade do oceano. Pretende-se que as
aprendizagens dos formandos sejam transferidas e adaptadas a contextos
educativos formais.

MOGFAC2023_ES
Métodos de Oceanografía Geológica y Física en Ambientes Costeros
El curso implica obtener conocimientos teóricos/prácticos para hacer
trabajo de campo y muestreo en estuarios, humedales costeros y playas
desde un punto de vista de la oceanografía física y geológica con
relación a temas tanto biológicos como químicos. En cada caso se
introducirán los equipos necesarios para cada ambientes con detalles de
cómo se operan, calibran y se accede a los datos. Como se diseñan y
desarrollan los trabajos de campo y el análisis de los riesgos que ellos
implican. Se explicarán las técnicas de trabajo en laboratorio para el
análisis de muestras. Finalmente se impartirán rudimentos de manejo de
bases de datos y de métodos básicos de análisis de los datos.

ECOP-R_2023
Ocean Data Analysis with R Programming for Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs) - Africa
The course serves as an introduction to R programming language and software environment (RStudio) for data exploration, cleaning, organizing, analysis and visualization. Relevant oceanographic (physical, chemical and biological) datasets will be used in the training, making it easy to relate, understand and apply the course concept. The course is designed for Early Career Ocean Professionals, hence, no prior experience is required.

SP_ODM2023
Ocean Data Management 2023
This online, fully self-paced training course provides a comprehensive introduction to the management of marine data, including the guiding principles of data management and typical responsibilities for data managers, data stewards and scientists.
This course is developed by, and for, marine data managers, data stewards and researchers, working in institutions responsible for the collection and good management of marine data.
During this training course, you will be introduced to several general aspects related to the management of marine data, including, metadata, quality control, data policy, data sharing and publishing, data management plans and the research data life cycle. By the end of this course, you will be able to describe and implement the core tasks required for the processing of marine data, explain the importance of metadata, advise researchers on the research data life cycle and explain why a good data management plan is key from the very first initiation steps of a project.

AlgaeTraits: a trait database for (European) seaweeds
Through the online AlgaeTraits portal, editors have access to the Aphia platform (the database behind WoRMS) to add new traits and related non-taxonomic information, and to make changes to already existing records. With this course, the AlgaeTraits editors will become more at ease with the online AlgaeTraits editing interface and will learn how to use the available functionalities and tools to standardize their actions and improve the AlgaeTraits and WoRMS databases.

FishMan_2022
Earth Observation data and techniques for fisheries management
Fishing vessel traffic data derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) has become an essential component for building fisheries intelligence. Enforce and related fisheries management strategies rely on such information to curb illegal fishing, plan and implement policies for the sustainability of marine living resources.
Fisheries managers and enforcers require specialized skills to processes the large volume of positional, navigational and voyage related information embedded in AIS data. Open-source programming software such as Python has lots of third-party modules for building packages and functions. This makes Python an asset for the creation of customized data processing, analyses and visualization to support in making informed decisions in the management of natural resources.
This training course will provide participants an understanding of the movement of fishing vessels and skills in processing AIS data.
