Who we are

The Mauritius National Oceanographic Data Centre (MNODC) operates as the national oceanographic data archive of Mauritius. It was officially established in November 1999 at the Mauritius Meteorological Services within the guidelines of the Ocean Data and Information Network for Africa second phase project (ODINAFRICA-II) with satellite stations at the University of Mauritius, Albion Fisheries Research Centre and Mauritius Oceanography Institute.

The aim of the MNODC is to enhance oceanographic services and promote further marine research by making available, to policy-makers and the marine communities, ocean data and products, in real and non-real time, for the efficient management and sustainable development of coastal and marine resources.
