The EMODnet biology (phase 3) project kicks off in Ostend

EMODnet Biology Phase III has officially started on the 19th April 2017. The Kick-off meeting took place in Oostende on the 25 and 26 of April. Phase III is composed of 22 partners plus 2 sub-contractors covering all Europeans Seas. At least 4 million new records are expected to be added for this third phase. Different ecological modelling techniques will be used to provide data products showing trends of European marine life. EMODnet Biology is coordinated by the Flanders Marine Institute and will further build on EurOBIS, WoRMS, and Marine Regions.
