European Marine Observation and Data Network

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is a collaborative initiative that gathers, organizes, and shares marine data across Europe. It provides accurate information on the ocean's physical characteristics, biology, geology, and human activities. By connecting various data sources—like ships, satellites, and research institutes—EMODnet helps policymakers, scientists, and industries make informed decisions about sustainable marine use and conservation. Its goal is to improve understanding of Europe's seas and oceans, supporting environmental protection, maritime safety, and responsible resource management.
