Welcome to the ECOOP integrated project

The goal of ECOOP is to build up a sustainable pan-European capacity in providing timely, quality assured marine service (including data, information products, knowledge and scientific advices) in European coastal-shelf seas.

The MERSEA Integrated Project has looked at the provision of ocean basin scale forecast model outputs to a variety of intermediate users. The ECOOP Integrated Project will take the products made available by MERSEA and fine tune them to meet a variety of applications in European Coastal Seas such as:
  • Ecosystem models
  • HAB warning systems
  • Oil spill and contaminant dispersion and forecast studies
  • Maritime ship routing applications
A list of the 71 partners of ECOOP can be found in the menu above.
