The beta version of the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service is online! Test this framework for finding, discovering and accessing marine environmental data and data products, built upon existing European marine data repositories, infrastructures and data services, and made possible thanks to the sharing and input of expertise and best practice from key actors in the European marine data space.

Blue-Cloud is one of ten innovative EU projects to build ocean observation systems that provide input for evidence-based management of the ocean and the Blue Economy, which have joined forces in the strong cluster ‘Nourishing Blue Economy and Sharing Ocean Knowledge’. Under the lead of the EuroSea project, the group published a joint policy brief listing recommendations for sustainable ocean observation and management. The policy brief was presented to the European Commission on 15 October 2021.

"An Open Science approach to infer fishing activity pressure on stocks and biodiversity from vessel tracking data", an article written by the Blue-Cloud team, was featured in Volume 64 of Ecological Informatics. Learn more about this Open Science integration approach for vessel tracking data.

Blue-Cloud was mentioned in an article on the French website Maddyness, covering the relevance of ocean data for OceanTech ranging from energy to food and transport.
