BCSS is an innovative platform hosting the first permanent Ocean Observatory focused on multi-ecosystem time series research in Africa.
We aim to use our strategic location and data to support environmental management at a local level, facilitate regional collaboration, and contribute to international scientific programs.
Our founding principles are to monitor, facilitate, and guarantee marine science in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region. We strive to be an international example of science management with tangible results. Our Ocean Observatory data are free and open-access, ensuring critical scientific information availability.
