This demonstrator will compile and process several data resources that are available under different European marine networks, data systems and research infrastructures and apply big data analysis and machine learning (e.g. neural networks) methods to create fit for purpose data products, using an open transparent methodology that runs in the Blue Cloud. Its focus is on biological Essential Ocean Variables (EOV’s) on plankton.

This demonstrator will develop an online service, bringing together into the same framework the data, the computational resources, and the cloud-based technology, in order to support European and international stakeholders within the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, and for exploiting the Blue Economy.

The Fish, a matter of scales demonstrator will improve data management and analytic capabilities for fisheries. The webinar showed new features of the Virtual Lab for the FAO Tuna Atlas and Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries.
