The recently published article in Frontiers in Marine Science highlights the outcomes of the EU-funded EuroSea project. EuroSea brought together key actors from the European ocean observing and forecasting communities, aiming to improve the integration of ocean observation systems and the delivery of critical ocean information to users.
The article highlights challenges in the European Ocean Observing System, such as gaps in data collection for Essential Ocean Variables, short-term funding, and fragmented coordination. It also provides recommendations for improving the sustainability of ocean observations. The insights gathered offer valuable guidance to policymakers and funders to better support ocean monitoring efforts crucial for addressing global challenges like climate change and marine ecosystem health.
