Brochure, presentation & videos
The Brochure The IH Brochure provides a brief outline of the activities of the International Hydrographic Organization. It is written for a wide audience, catering to all those that have an interest in the safe and efficient navigation of ships, protection of the marine environment and more generally to the improvement of the global economy through the provision of hydrographic services and products. For further information, see IHO Publication M-2. English French Ocean conservation focus The Presentation The IHO Secretariat has produced a generic presentation that desribes the importance of hydrography. The presentation can be downloaded and used as needed. Videos Hydrography involves measuring the depth of the water and fixing the position of all the navigational hazards that lie on the seafloor, such as wrecks and rocks. This is done mainly with specialised ships and boats operating echo sounders and sonars, but also using survey aircraft fitted with lasers. Useful information can also be derived sometimes from satellite observations. Hydrography also involves measuring the tide and the currents. The most well-known application of hydrographic information is for making the nautical charts that all mariners use for navigation. Hydrographic information is required for the safe, efficient and sustainable conduct of every human activity that takes place in, on or under the sea. These videos provide information on the importance of hydrography. ________________________________________________________

IHO-Nippon Foundation GEOMAC Project
The IHO-Nippon Foundation Cooperation Project has been providing training opportunities for Category “B” nautical cartographers at the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) for over 15 years. The project originally started as the Japan Capacity Building Project (JCBP) in 2009-2013 and the Cartography, Hydrography and Related Training (CHART) Project in 2014-2019, and has now become the Geospatial Marine Analysis and Cartography (GEOMAC) Project since 2020, thanks to the generous support from the Nippon Foundation of Japan. This capacity building project has connected the nautical cartography community, which currently has 106 alumni from 51 countries. The skills and knowledge of this community contribute to solving regional and global challenges beyond the SOLAS obligations.
Special contributions from external donors
In addition to the annual contribution from the IHO Budget approved by Member States, the CB Fund receives donations made by governments, international organizations, funding agencies, associations or private individuals in support of the IHO CBWP.
