1/ Observation
and monitoring of
marine and coastal environments

Monitor the sea to help combat climate change, creating observation platforms and strategies, using new monitoring and data-collection technologies, and strengthening the resilience of marine ecosystems.

Goals

To upgrade existing observation platforms by investing in infrastructure and promoting integration with new tools.

To create a platform for storing and accessing data related to the marine environment: in-situ data from different observation platforms.

To develop a system of tools, based on observation, data analysis and numerical models, which provide early warnings of risks and threats, and facilitate resource management, spatial planning and the management of the marine environment in the widest sense.
