EMODnet has reached a new stage as it launches its fully centralised marine data service, integrating all of its thematic services into one single portal.
This thematic unification is a major upgrade, which simplifies access and enhances the EMODnet user experience. Central to the upgrade and major improvement is the release of the common map viewer, which offers the user easy and seamless access to discover, visualise and download marine data across seven thematics including marine environment and human activities and hundreds of data and data products from one place, powered by a searchable unified catalogue.
The centralisation of all EMODnet thematic data services under a single umbrella has been a long-term effort, facilitated by the European Commission Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE). It is a landmark achievement of the European Ocean observing and marine data community and the result of more than a year of technical developments by EMODnet thematic experts and the EMODnet Central Portal team coordinated by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) and the EMODnet Secretariat.
Find our more about this milestone on the EMODnet Central Portal.
A public webinar demonstrating the upgraded EMODnet services will take place online on 16 February 2023, with registration open and free for all.
