A spatial analysis of all marine habitat maps collated by EMODnet Seabed Habitats in European sea basins shows that the majority of maps display broad habitat types and lack detailed data on marine communities. This information was used by the European Marine Board (EMB) Habitat Mapping Working Group, in the recently published Future Science Brief on marine habitat mapping, to highlight the need for policy makers to propose funding for programmes that will produce more biologically-themed marine habitat maps which can fulfil the reporting requirements of policies such as the Nature Restoration Law.

This map shows the main European rivers and lakes and various river drainage basins, grouped according to the sea into which the water drains.

This map shows projects developed by Young Ocean Advocates, young project holders whose projects have been recognised and accredited by the European Commission as making a meaningful and lasting change for the ocean.

This map shows the different marine research facilities in Europe based on the Marine Research Infrastructures database from EurOcean.

This map presents the distribution of Posidonia oceanica (commonly known as Neptune grass or Mediterranean tape weed), a seagrass species that is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea.

Three new products were republished by EMODnet Biology in the EMODnet Central Portal Viewer. The products focus provide the probability of occurrence for various fish species.

The publication of data, which was completed in late June, increased the EMODnet Biology holdings by more than 300K new occurrence records.

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is pleased to announce the launch of the EMODnet Vision 2035 public consultation!

The deliverable was recently published and provides an overview of the data flows and constraints regarding the publication of fisheries survey data.

This map gives an overview of the bathing water quality (e.g. excellent, good, sufficient and poor) along the European coasts.
