Marine coastal biodiversity observations to be strengthened through €7.3 million Horizon Europe project

A new €7.3 million Horizon Europe project, MARCO-BOLO (MARine Coastal BiOdiversity Long-term Observations), has been launched to connect and strengthen existing European coastal and marine biodiversity observation capabilities across Europe, while linking these to global efforts. The project aims to improve the acquisition, coordination and delivery of marine, coastal and freshwater biodiversity observations to relevant users, and to test new tools, technologies and models to better understand biodiversity decline.
