The Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS) is an intergovernmental body with international legal personality, created by mandate of the countries through the Santiago Declaration in 1952. This Regional Maritime Organization promotes and articulates the maritime policies of its Member States: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. As a knowledge node of marine information in the Southeast Pacific region, CPPS provides the platform to integrate data from different projects and programs carried out in the region. CPPS is currently an IODE/ADU member since 2017 (CPPS-OBIS), but its activities compiling marine biological observation data of identifiable marine species started several years before.
