¿QUIÉNES SOMOS?

El Instituto Oceanográfico y Antártico de la Armada (INOCAR) es el organismo de carácter técnico y científico de la Armada del Ecuador. Somos la autoridad nacional encargada de planificar, dirigir, coordinar y ejecutar las actividades relacionadas con la hidrografía, cartografía náutica, oceanografía, meteorología marítima y la señalización marítima en los espacios acuáticos jurisdiccionales.

Además, el INOCAR es el ente responsable de administrar y ejecutar la política nacional orientada a la proyección, investigación y presencia del Ecuador en el continente Antártico. Nuestra labor fundamental es garantizar la seguridad de la navegación, apoyar el desarrollo marítimo y científico del país, y proveer información vital para la prevención y mitigación de riesgos de origen natural, como tsunamis y el fenómeno de El Niño, salvaguardando así la vida humana en el mar y en las zonas costeras.
