Our researchers have been looking at how mussels might be able to play a part in helping to remove #microplastics from the ocean, with funding from #PlanPlastic Waitrose & Partners Hubbub Find out more ⬇️ bit.ly/PMLMusselPower

A training workshop for the #Marinomica platform was held by partners of ODYSSEA project, focusing on boosting capacity development among Egyptian end-users in carrying out hydrodynamical and water quality modelling. odysseaplatform.eu/2021/07/27/mar… #EU #H2020 #WaterQuality #Modelling

We have entered the #oceandecade & will be offering information about ocean related activites using Earth observation. Read about ODYSSEA Platform that NextGEOSS is collaborating with answering some of our challenges of transforming #opendata to knowledge. nextgeoss.eu/odyssea

Expanding water-quality monitoring efforts is a key plan recommendation that will help scientists learn more about the true state of water quality and environmental conditions in the Inland Bays. capegazette.com/article/water-… #water #quality #data #monitoring #sensors

A crack in a tank containing 15,000 tons of fuel at Baniyas Thermal Power Plant led to the spread of an oil slick over tens of square kilometres in the Mediterranean. middleeasteye.net/news/syrias-oi… #Mediterranean #Satellite #Images #Syria #OilSpill #Cyprus

ODYSSEA is an Horizon 2020 funded project, aiming to change this reality, bridging the gap between the operational oceanographic capacities and the need for information on marine conditions from the community of end-users, along both shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

Our partner Daniel Cebrian, from SPA/RAC, has presented the ODYSSEA Project in #IUCNcongress in #Marseille. Daniel focused on the topic of "Regional and International Cooperation for the Mediterranean: Achieving the Good Environmental Status of the Mediterranean Sea".

Professor Georgios Sylaios (DUTH), ODDYSEA Project Coordinator says that after four and a half years of hard work opens the Marinomica Platform makes marine data available to all stakeholders. marinomica.com #H2020 #Mediterranean #Coastal #Biodiversity #Observatory #Data

This #WorldFisheriesDay, we’re celebrating the small-scale fishing communities across the globe who are working to thoughtfully steward their marine resources while creating a resilient and thriving ocean for this generation and for generations to come.

ODYSSEA's Israeli partner, Ecoocean, deploys the project's buoy some 12 km off the coastline. The sensors provide marine data including temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and oxygen levels and turbidity. Ecoocean also uses the project's glider. youtu.be/nsfIlU5pQJw #H2020 #EU

A beach in eastern Thailand was declared a disaster area on Saturday as oil leaking from an underwater pipeline in the Gulf of Thailand continued to wash ashore and blacken the sand. reuters.com/world/asia-pac… #Oil #Leaking #Natural #Disaster #Thailand
