Welcome to the BCC GeoData Portal
The Benguela Current Convention (BCC) GeoData Portal is an online digital platform that stores and provides access to geospatial information (and related documents) on the marine environment and human societies in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem. Its two primary objectives are:
(1) to support integrated ocean governance on the regional and national levels
(2) to support access and sharing of spatial data of the BCC contracting parties Angola, Namibia and South Africa
Its contents are directed towards organisations and professionals with responsibilities for conducting analyses, providing advice and/or making decisions on the governance and management of the marine environment at the regional, sub-regional and national levels.
