The Division about Sea and Ocean Geology and the Department of Modern Marine Sedimentogenesis, Institute of Geological Sciences, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, have available mass data about marine geology, geochemistry and geoecology accumulated during 1962 - 2008 inclusive. Data are preserved on various media. Moreover there are considerable quantity of scientific documents as published books, papers and reports also a lot of unique and rarity exhibits of cores, nodules and other informative objects from sea floor. Mass data embraces the next branches of marine geology: investigation of sediment forming in sea and ocean basins; studying of characteristics of bottom sediment composition; examination of lithologic and geochemical features of deposits, sea subaqual facies and landscapes; stratigraphical partition of marine sedimentary strata; analysis of evolution of sediment accumulation in connection with tectonic structure of basin and sea level change; study of antropogenic impact and ecosystem stability; forecasting basins about availability for mineral resources prospecting.

Information stored in data bases concern the next geographic taxa: 1)oceans: the Atlantic, the Indian, the North Polar, the Pacific, the South; 2)seas: the Black, the Azov, the Baltic, the White, the Chuckchee, the Barents, the Mediterranean, the Red; 3)deltas, estuaries, firths and debris cones of rivers of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov basins also of the west sea shore of tropical Africa.

Networking of such mass data to CODATA information system permit to open access for more wide circle of users.
