AMAP's work is directed by the Ministers of the Arctic Council and their Senior Arctic Officials, who have requested AMAP to also support international processes that work to reduce the global threats from contaminants and climate change. The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme is one of six Working Groups of the Arctic Council.
Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats that measures the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data being relayed and made publicly available within hours after collection.
The European Butterfly Monitoring Scheme (eBMS) is a joint initiative of Butterfly Conservation Europe and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, with the objective of promoting butterfly monitoring schemes across Europe and consists of the following activities:
A collation of national Butterfly Monitoring Scheme datasets within Europe - the eBMS partnership
- A data system for establishing butterfly monitoring sites in regions currently lacking a national scheme.
- The home for the Assessing ButterfLies in Europe (ABLE) project
- A place to promote other projects that are affiliated to butterfly monitoring schemes
The purpose of ASLO is to foster a diverse, international scientific community that creates, integrates and communicates knowledge across the full spectrum of aquatic sciences, advances public awareness and education about aquatic resources and research, and promotes scientific stewardship of aquatic resources for the public interest.
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of high quality studies investigating the Earth's atmosphere and the underlying chemical and physical processes. It covers the altitude range from the land and ocean surface up to the turbopause, including the troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere.

The BOOS Vision
is to provide integrated marine services to the marine users and policy makers. The objectives are to:
Improve the safety and efficiency of maritime transport and marine operations.
Enable the sustainable exploitation and management of Baltic Sea resources (fisheries).
Support safe and efficient offshore energy activities.
Mitigate the effects of environmental hazards and pollution crisis.
Contribute to ocean climate variability studies and seasonal climate prediction.
Federate the resources and expertise of diverse institutes, agencies, and companies in the public and private sector.
The Baltic Sea Information pages contain a wide range of information on the Baltic Sea, its characteristic features and species, and the state and future of the Baltic.
