statistical records as of 2014 on the distribution of seamount. Accordingly, there are more seamounts in the Pacific Ocean than in the Atlantic, and their distribution can be described as comprising several elongate chains of seamounts superimposed on a more or less random background distribution (Craig and Sandwell)

The inventory of GOA-ON assets can be searched interactively by region, platform type, and variables by using the Filters tool. The mapping layers contain contoured world-wide data; **Platforms** include icons for various observing assets, some of which display real-time data and many of which include links to data and metadata. For a given asset measuring carbonate chemistry, metadata includes information on which parameters are measured, links to data providers, and other useful details.
These guidelines detail the process, timeline, and steps taken to complete a State of Environment Report.
This is a template that can be used when creating a State of Environment report, and sections can be added or adapted to fit a country’s needs.
This new set of 60 indicator icons can be used in a State of Environment report to indicate the status of environmental issues and progress in a country.
