The Map of the Week shows the seabed substrates of the European marine region.

We are very happy to announce the release of a short EMODnet Open Conference 2021 video. The video recounts some of the main highlights and messages from the Conference that took place between 14-16 June 2021 as a hybrid event in Oostende, Belgium and attracting more than 400 participants online.

The Map of the Week shows the members of the EU4Ocean Coalition including Platform members, Young Ocean Advocates and European Blue Schools. The EU4Ocean Coalition brings together diverse organisations, projects, schools and people who contribute to ocean literacy and the sustainable management of the ocean in Europe and beyond.

The Map of the Week shows the ratio of Marine Protected Area to terrestrial area for each European country.

We are delighted to release EMODnet for Civil Society, the seventh video of a series of eight illustrating the fundamental role of EMODnet in society. 

The video sheds light on how civil society organisations can use EMODnet data to support their work, empowering citizens around Europe and beyond to make ocean-wise decisions. EMODnet can also help civil society organisations to share their data more widely, adding value to their work.

Phase IV of the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project commenced in September 2021, and will run for 2 years through to 2023. The project aims to build on the existing data products hosted on the EMODnet Seabed Habitats Map Viewer and expand geographical coverage of the project to the Caspian Sea and selected EU territories in the Caribbean.

EMODnet Seabed Habitats joined the Scientific Conference on Climate Change in the Caspian Sea Region (27-28 October) to present  the challenges of delivery of EMODnet Seabed Habitats broad-scale seabed habitat map (EUSeaMap) in the Caspian Sea.
