An integrated observing system delivering timely, transparent biogeochemical knowledge for society, the blue economy, science, and policy — enabling informed decisions.
Mission
BioGeoSea enhances biogeochemical Essential Ocean Variables, integrates observing systems, advances data products, improves models, and develops ocean indicators. We deliver the knowledge and tools needed to protect the future of our blue planet by turning trusted data into insight that enables the development of solutions for sustainable ocean management.
Processes such as ocean acidification, deoxygenation, carbon shifts, and greenhouse gas fluxes drive profound changes in marine ecosystems. These dynamics are observed through Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and tracked with indicators – revealing how the ocean, and our planet, are changing.
Kick-Off Meeting: Three days of alignment, collaboration and momentum
Event:
| Hybrid
From 29 September to 1 October 2025, the BioGeoSea consortium met for the first time in Brussels — three days of getting to know one another, forming working relationships and building a shared understanding of what lies ahead. Through open discussion, early planning and lively exchange, we laid the groundwork for the project’s first steps and strengthened the sense of working together as one team.
BioGeoSea launches: Enhancing ocean biogeochemistry for a changing planet
From 1 September 2025, BioGeoSea will work to improve how we observe and understand the ocean’s biogeochemical systems. Over 3.5 years, partners from across Europe will advance Essential Ocean Variables, develop new indicators and enhance interoperability — turning high-quality data into knowledge that supports sustainable ocean management.
