Ocean+ Data
http://data.oceanplus.org/
Ocean+ Data addresses the need for accurate and up-to-date data and information required to support adaptive conservation and resource management that can help to mitigate these impacts, and to conserve marine species and habitats. Ocean+ Data provides an overview of global marine and coastal datasets of biodiversity importance, including some datasets of regional interest.

National Oceanographic Data Center - NODC
http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/
NODC maintains and updates a national ocean archive with environmental data acquired from domestic and foreign activities and produces products and research from these data which help monitor global environmental changes. These data include physical, biological and chemical measurements derived from in situ oceanographic observations, satellite remote sensing of the oceans, and ocean model simulations.
