	IOCCG Reports

A major focus of the IOCCG has been the formation of specialised scientific working groups to investigate various aspects of ocean-colour technology and its applications. The end product of these working groups is usually the publication of a scientific report in the IOCCG report series. These reports have an ISSN assignment and are in wide demand throughout the world. They have been used to provide appropriate advice to Space Agencies, scientists and managers as well as serving as a useful teaching aid for students. PDF copies of the IOCCG reports (with low resolution images to reduce file size) can be downloaded below. To request a hardcopy of a report, please email Dr. Venetia Stuart, giving your full name and mailing address. Copies will be mailed free of charge via surface mail.
