Data Policy

The Data Policy (PDF, 230KB) adopted by the Marine Institute seeks to promote access to its data archives, subject to conditions under which data has been collected. In this context, we are working to make as much data available online as possible.

• Information on the data we hold is available from on Online Catalogue.

• Where data has not yet been made available online, you can submit a request using the Data Request Page. We will generally ask you to sign a license agreement describing the use to which data will be put.

• Most data is available free of charge. Where significant effort is required to prepare data in response to specific requests, charges may be levied based on the amount of effort involved and the purpose to which the data will be put. Details are available in the Data Policy document.
