The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) - www.emodnet.eu - is a network
of organisations supported by the EU’s integrated maritime policy. These
organisations work together to observe the sea, process the data
according to international standards and make that information freely
available as interoperable data layers and data products.
EMODnet provides access to European marine data across seven discipline-based themes:
• Bathymetry
• Geology
• Seabed habitats
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Physics
• Human activities
For each of these themes, EMODnet has created a gateway to a range of
data archives managed by local, national, regional and international
organisations. Through these gateways, users have access to standardized
observations, data quality indicators and processed data products, such
as basin-scale maps. These data products are free to access and use.
