On the 21st of January 2020, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, EC President Ursula von der Leyen pointed out the value of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the high importance of data as a key resource for innovation.
Ten innovative EU projects to build ocean observation systems that provide input for evidence-based management of the ocean and the Blue Economy, 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 cooperation is supported by the EU Horizon Results Booster and enables the group to achieve a higher societal impact.
Main target users:
Risk assessors, Aquaculture managers, Investors, Policy makers
Services introduction:
PerfeCt is a modular Jupyter notebook that hindcasts and forecasts the effects of IPCC climate change scenarios on three simple aquaculture performance factors - time-to-market, food conversion ratio, and risk of disease - using open-source data and services.
Main target users:
Marine scientists dedicated to MPAs and conservation efforts
Services introduction:
The Wildlife Tracker has diversified its activities and it can offer real-time wildlife monitoring based on alert system, web map gallery creation, and biologging data enrichment with satellite data. As a cloud-based platform the service is done by monthly/yearly subscription and we offer cooperation to non-profit foundations based on blue economy model.
Main target users:
Policy-makers, aquaculture industry, general public.
Services introduction:
Sea Clearly is a Jupyter Notebook for analysis of plastic pollution in aquaculture.
There are several research infrastructures or other data services running in Europe that cover a multitude of marine-related sciences, providing specific datasets coming from observations collected with different methods. These infrastructures constitute a diverse world, each looking at a piece of the big picture.
