MERSEA-IP

Marine Environment and Security for the European Area – Integrated Project
 

MERSEA aimed to develop a European system for operational monitoring and forecasting on global and regional scales of ocean physics, biogeochemistry and ecosystems.
 

The project’s strategic objective was to provide an integrated service of global and regional ocean monitoring and forecasting to intermediate users and policy makers in support of safe and efficient offshore activities, environmental management, security, and sustainable use of marine resources. The system that was developed, subsequently constituted a key component of the Ocean and Marine services element of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security)
