The International Bathymetric Chart of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (IBCCA) is a regional ocean mapping project sponsored by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The initial mission of this project was to create new bathymetry for the areas shown on the previous web page. As the compilation of the majority of areas is nearing completion, the project is beginning to coordinate efforts to digitize existing geologic and geophysical maps with the intent of creating digital layers for new parameters. 1, record 2, English, - International%20Bathymetric%20Chart%20of%20the%20Caribbean%20Sea%20and%20the%20Gulf%20of%20Mexico

In 1976 a Caribbean forum was created under the sponsorship of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) and UNEP. An Action Plan from the Wider Caribbean was approved by twenty-two nations and territories, including the United States of America, in 1981. The governments of the Caribbean approved supporting resolutions dealing with the program implementation, financing, and institutional arrangements when they adopted the Action Plan. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were represented in the majority of these meetings as members of the Unites States delegation. 1, record 7, English, - Action%20Plan%20for%20the%20Wider%20Caribbean%20Region
