EMODnet


The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is a network of European organisations working together to observe the oceans, to make the collected marine data freely available and interoperable, to create seamless data layers across sea-basins and to distribute the data and data products through the Internet. The primary aim of EMODnet is to unlock existing but fragmented and hidden marine data and make them accessible for a wide range of users including private bodies, public authorities and researchers.

The European Atlas of the Seas


The European Atlas of the Seas is the official digital mapping tool of the European Commission's Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) dedicated to ocean literacy. It is an easily accessible, interactive and user-friendly tool, available in the 24 European Union languages, that can be used by schools, aquariums, museums, policy-makers, blue economy professionals, media and citizens. Since September 2017, Seascape Belgium has taken over the management and further development of the Atlas from the Joint Research Centre (JRC).

NESBp


This project NESBp (Northern European Sea Basins project) (November 2024 - May 2027) is a part of the Greater North Sea Basin Initiative (GNSBI) and focuses on promoting international and comprehensive cooperation in the maritime spatial planning of the North Sea and Baltic Sea basins. Furthermore, the NESBp aims to strengthen collaboration not only between the North Sea countries but also between the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions through the HELCOM-VASAB framework.

TRICUSO


The ocean is key in the global C cycle, taking up ca. 25% of the CO2 we emit, slowing climate change and giving us more time to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Ocean C Value Chain (VC) of observations, data QC & analysis delivers key information around this to decision makers such as the Conference of the Parties. The RIs play a pivotal role in the VC via their ability to operate at scale & pool resources to ensure common data standards and operational practices.

AQUAPHOENIX


Through international R&I collaboration, the Horizon Europe project AQUAPHOENIX (Innovative solutions to reduce AQUAculture emissions and valorise sludge through PHOsphorus and NItrogen eXtraction) (January 2025 - December 2028) aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative solution that successfully captures waste to limit nitrogen (N) + phosphorus (P) emissions from the Aquaculture sector and valorise that waste into new and sustainable energy, agriculture, and aquaculture products.

AQUARIUS


The Horizon Europe project AQUARIUS (Aqua Research Infrastructure Services for the health and protection of our unique, oceans, seas and freshwater ecosystems) (March 2024 - February 2028) will provide a highly comprehensive suite of 57 integrated research infrastructures – ranging from research vessels, mobile marine observation platforms, aircraft, drones, satellite, sensors, fixed freshwater and marine observatories and test sites, experimental facilities, and sophisticated data infrastructures – to facilitate the work of researchers and key stak

LandSeaLot


The Horizon Europe project Land-Sea interface: Let's observe together! (LandSeaLot) (February 2024 - January 2028) will link together in situ, model and earth observations (EO) and connect related communities, citizens and initiatives such as Copernicus, ESA, EEA, GEOSS, EMODnet and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. These observations will be used in a gap analysis to co-design a common land-sea interface observation strategy and an implementation plan.

FOCCUS


The Horizon Europe project FOCCUS (Forecasting and observing the open-to-coastal ocean for Copernicus users) (January 2024 - December 2026) will specifically address and enhance the coastal extension of Copernicus Marine Service to better serve coastal users and Member States (MS).

DTO-BioFlow


The Horizon Europe project “Integration of biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean” (DTO-BioFlow) will unlock “sleeping” biodiversity data enabling the sustained flow of these and new data via primary integrators and EMODnet into the EU Digital Twin Ocean. It will create a digital replica of marine biological processes transforming new and existing data flows into evidence-based knowledge. 

EDITO-Infra


The main aim of the “EU Public Infrastructure for the European Digital Twin” project (EDITO-Infra) is to build the EU Public Infrastructure backbone for the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) by upgrading, combining and integrating key service components of the existing EU ocean observing, monitoring and data programmes Copernicus Marine Service and the European Marine Observation & Data Network (EMODnet) into a single digital framework.
