The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) launches its unified marine data service

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), a network of organisations dealing with marine data supported by the EU’s integrated maritime policy, has launched its fully centralised marine data service, integrating all of its thematic services into one single portal. 

This thematic unification simplifies access and enhances the EMODnet user experience. By providing a single-entry point to all EMODnet data, data products and services, the new portal offers services more suited to today’s data driven world and supports next generation ocean data and information management, as well as new technologies and approaches such as Artificial Intelligence. 

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is a network of organisations that work together to observe the sea, process the data according to international standards and make that information freely available as interoperable data layers and data products. Ii is a long-term European Union marine data service funded through the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) under the auspices of the European Commission Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE). OGS is among the partners of the initiative.
