The annual task of updating these data collections is important as the data are used by key agencies such as the European Environment Agency (EEA). We interviewed three data managers from OGS, Italy, Coordinator of EMODnet Chemistry, to find out more, including why this year was even more challenging, yet impactful, and how EEA use these data…
In 2022, EMODnet Biology created two R packages to assist users in querying and downloading information via EMODnet’s webservices: emodnet.wfs and emodnet.wcs. These tools were designed to streamline access to EMODnet data, making it easier for researchers and developers to integrate marine biological information directly into their workflows.
The EMODnet Catalogue serves as the central metadata repository for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), at its core, the EMODnet Catalogue functions as a comprehensive discovery platform that enables researchers, policy makers, industry professionals, the general public, and machines to locate and access marine data and data products from across Europe's seas. The EMODnet Portal is your one-stop-shop for in situ data of the marine environment with data and data products…
EMODnet’s central role in delivering on EU Open Data Directives and providing FAIR Marine Knowledge for the European Ocean Pact and EU Policy implementation is emphasised in its response to four key EU Consultations in Q1-2 2025
In the first six months of 2025 alone, EMODnet has actively responded to key EU consultations related to ocean and environmental policy, open data and future EU funding. The year kicked off with a call for evidence for the European Ocean Pact – an all-encompassing framework for EU ocean policy that includes the EU Ocean Observation Initiative, the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive, the Marine Strategy Framework and more.
