The Atlas includes four main entry points to access information:
1. ABOUT (the oceans) - from history, biology, maps and statistics to research, climatology and ecology
2. USES (of the oceans) - from fishing, shipping and mining to tourism, dumping and marine biotechnology
3. ISSUES - from food security and climate change to governance and human health
4. GEOGRAPHY - information categorized by geographical area
