Main activity
The French Oceanographic cruises directory database lists all the scientific cruises which were carried out aboard French vessels or in cooperation with foreign vessels. This database currently contains the descriptions of more than 8,200 cruises (including mooring experiments, diving) made over the past century or so. Each year, about 200 new summaries from French organizations which operate the vessels IFREMER, IRD, CNRS/INSU, IPEV and chief scientists are added.

Description
A pioneer in ocean science, IFREMER's cutting-edge research is grounded in sustainable development and open science.His vision is to advance science, expertise and innovation to protect and restore the ocean, sustainably use marine resources to benefit societ, create and share ocean data, information & knowledge.
With more than 1,500 personnel spread along the French coastline in more than 20 sites, the institute explores the 3 great oceans: the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Founded in 1984, IFREMER is a French public organization and its budget approximates 240 million euros. It is operating under the joint authority of the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, the French Ministry for the Ecological and Solidary Transition, and the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
