Since April 2000 the UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) and the Marine Aquarium Council (MAC) have been collaborating with members of trade associations such as AKKII, PTFEA , SAFEA , OFI and OATA to establish a Global Marine Aquarium Database (GMAD) as a freely available source of information on the global aquarium industry. Our common objective is to centralise, standardise and provide fast and easy access to information on the aquarium trade.
