International Hydrographic Organisation

The work that OceanWise does in data management epitomises the way in which the hydrographic community should be moving in the twenty first century.

Robert Ward - President

ABP Southampton

A good overview of the huge topic of data management with lots of ideas to take back to the workplace and to start to implement.

Becky Conway - Principal Hydrographic Surveyor

Global Spatial Data Infrastructure (GSDI) Association

Thank you guys, the Marine SDI workshop discussion groups were brilliant. The explanations of what an SDI is all about were easily understood and the interactive break-out sessions helped people identify with their day to day challenges and how they might be addressed.

Roger Longhorn - Secretary-General

ABP Southampton

The 'Introduction to GIS' course provided by OceanWise was much more useful than the vendor specific course as it had a marine focus and related much more to the work I do day to day.

Sam Quilliam - Hydrographic Surveyor

Port Training

OceanWise made what is a dry topic very accessible to the people who need to implement it, and certainly aroused interest from the group present – who, when they become harbour masters in their own right, will need to address this issue

Jonathan Warren

This training is a significant upgrade to my data management and other spheres of my professional development journey. I'm excited to implement the new knowledge and skills I acquired, furthering my contributions to Marine Conservation, Youth Capacity Development and Environmental Sustainability.
