Addressing plastic waste in our 🌊- a global challenge investigated by #ExpeditieSimonStevin - @UNESCOEU Director highlighted @UNEP's #CleanSeas campaign which has achieved meaningful actions from governments, private sector, civil society in “turning the tide” against plastic.
Harmful bacteria on sewage-associated plastic waste washed up on beaches can survive long enough to pose a risk to human health, new research by @StirUni has found. #Health#Pollution#Immunology

A beach in eastern Thailand was declared a disaster area on Saturday as oil leaking from an underwater pipeline in the Gulf of Thailand continued to wash ashore and blacken the sand. https://t.co/NKVEM3pFCA #Oil#Leaking#Natural#Disaster#Thailand
ODYSSEA's Israeli partner, Ecoocean, deploys the project's buoy some 12 km off the coastline. The sensors provide marine data including temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and oxygen levels and turbidity. Ecoocean also uses the project's glider. https://t.co/Dn5tphKmFW #H2020#EU
This #WorldFisheriesDay, we’re celebrating the small-scale fishing communities across the globe who are working to thoughtfully steward their marine resources while creating a resilient and thriving ocean for this generation and for generations to come.
Professor Georgios Sylaios (DUTH), ODDYSEA Project Coordinator says that after four and a half years of hard work opens the Marinomica Platform makes marine data available to all stakeholders. https://t.co/yFOyznQqnF #H2020#Mediterranean#Coastal#Biodiversity#Observatory#Data
Coastal erosion is a relentless process, one that is only to exacerbate with climate change. A forthcoming regional report by the @WorldBank, provides a detailed discussion on how to combat coastal erosion. https://t.co/ziEBfpe5qf #CoastalErosion#Maghreb#Morocco#Tunisia
ODYSSEA’s coordinator, Prof. Georgios Sylaios, contributed to the development of a policy document entitled “Nourishing Blue Economy and Sharing Ocean Knowledge: Ocean information for Sustainable Development”. https://t.co/JZaY0aMrfk #EU#H2020#BlueEconomy#Ocean#Observations
⚠️ Coral reefs are on the brink ⚠️
They are facing an existential crisis due to the #ClimateCrisis & a range of local threats & stressors, including overfishing & unsustainable coastal development.

Our partner Daniel Cebrian, from SPA/RAC, has presented the ODYSSEA Project in #IUCNcongress in #Marseille. Daniel focused on the topic of "Regional and International Cooperation for the Mediterranean: Achieving the Good Environmental Status of the Mediterranean Sea".
ODYSSEA is an Horizon 2020 funded project, aiming to change this reality, bridging the gap between the operational oceanographic capacities and the need for information on marine conditions from the community of end-users, along both shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
The volume of Marine Big Data has increased dramatically in latest years, as new marine observation systems become operational, multiple observing techniques are being deviced while Internet of Thingsand Social Networks offer vast, unexplored data

A crack in a tank containing 15,000 tons of fuel at Baniyas Thermal Power Plant led to the spread of an oil slick over tens of square kilometres in the Mediterranean. https://t.co/JG788ui07H #Mediterranean#Satellite#Images#Syria#OilSpill#Cyprus
We have entered the #oceandecade & will be offering information about ocean related activites using Earth observation. Read about @ODYSSEAPlatform that NextGEOSS is collaborating with answering some of our challenges of transforming #opendata to knowledge. https://t.co/CZwmQJ0uE7
@NextGEOSS organises a free webinar today at 2PM CEST!
