ICES — the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea — is a global research organization focused on developing science and guidance to promote the sustainable use of the oceans. It draws on a network of thousands of scientists from hundreds of marine institutes across numerous countries, supporting decision-makers with the best available science for managing marine environments and ecosystems. Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the ICES Secretariat provides administrative, scientific, and data-handling support to its community, reflecting a long-standing presence in the region since 1902. The organization operates within the research services industry and collaborates with a broad international scientific community to inform fisheries, cetacean data initiatives, and other marine-ecosystem considerations. Recent activities include releasing a beta visualization app for ICES fisheries advice and launching collaborative data portals and leadership appointments to advance its scientific program.
