The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) provides access to data organised around specific thematic data portals - ICES data portals - namely:
- Biodiversity: database hosts seabird and seals abundance and distribution records and is linked to OSPAR, and ICES groups (JWGBIRD, WGMME);
- Contaminants, biological effects, and biological community data: are made available through the DOME web portal (Database on Oceanography and Marine Ecosystems);
- Eggs and Larvae: database makes available data collected by ichthyoplankton surveys for use by ICES and the wider marine community;
- Fish Trawl Survey: datasets collected in connection with the Data Collection Framework (EU-DCF) are managed under the DATRAS portal;
- Fish predation: is the focus of the fish stomach data portal;
- Historical plankton: is an 'historical' dataset collection, where the dataset is considered complete and there are no immediate plans to update it;
- Oceanographic data: which includes temperature, salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll a, and nutrients measurements are made available through the OCEAN web applications;
- Impulsive underwater noise: collates data on licens​ed events such as pile driving, controlled explosions from naval operations across the OSPAR and HELCOM areas;
- Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems: hosts data on deep-water VMEs in the North Atlantic.
