Get ready for the third EU 🇪🇺 #OceanDecade webinar on 15 January! The third instalment of the series will look at the role of Earth observation, in situ and modelled marine data in solving 3 of the 10 Ocean Decade Challenges for collective impact: 🔵Challenge 3: Sustainably feed the global population Challenge 🔵Challenge 4: Develop a sustainable, resilient and equitable ocean economy 🔵Challenge 6: Increase community resilience to ocean hazards 📅 Mark your calendar and register here: eudata4oceandecade.eu

📢Last chance to register for the 3⃣rd webinar of the EU #OceanDecade🌊series on 15 January ➡️Our representatives will showcase how #CMEMS data can be used to address the upwelling phenomena & its impact on the fisheries in northwest Africa Register 👇 eudata4oceandecade.eu

Today we launch our #marinescience policy foresight publication Navigating the Future VI #NFVIOcean, which considers the #Ocean's role in the Earth system & highlights research & policy needs to support our understanding & address global challenges: marineboard.eu/publications/n…

The 2nd webinar of the "Data for the UN Ocean Decade - A European focus" series by @CMEMS_EU, @eumetsat, and @EMODnet will focus on how observation and data can support the #OceanDecade for a clean and healthy ocean. 🗓️ 10 October, 14:30 CEST 🔗 Register: ow.ly/pMXI50SVA6s

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are essential for the conservation of certain habitats 🌊 #CopernicusMarine provides access to the @protectedplanet #MPA dataset to help monitor the health of these areas 🔽 MPAs & Sea Water Temperature 🌡️ for the #BalearicSea for 15 August

Intense #wildfires 🔥 have broken out north of #Athens, seen here by our MTG-I1 satellite yesterday 11.08. Fire hotspots & thick smoke plume visible from space between 11:00 - 17:30 UTC. Evacuations are in place as emergency workers try to keep fires under control. #ClimateCrisis

Recording now available from the first webinar in the EU #OceanData series! 🛰️🌊 Get a taste of what's to come in the later sessions - more info coming soon. There is also a poll at the end - we'd really appreciate your feedback! 🙏 Watch here: bit.ly/4chr7Qf
