Marine Environment Monitoring Service
The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic reference information on the physical and biogeochemical state, variability and dynamics of the ocean and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional seas.
Both Public and Private users need to respond to today’s climate and marine challenges. The CMEMS supports and contributes to the data and information tools in many domains.
Improving knowledge of the seas and oceans is one of the three cross-cutting elements of the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy. A good knowledge of the environmental status of the marine waters is necessary, in accordance with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), prepared by Member states with the support of the European Environment Agency (EEA). In a general way, CMEMS brings support to European and Regional decision makers implied in European policies linked to the Marine Environment and Security (EC Directorate, European Agencies, Regional Conventions).
Member states’ National Agencies and public bodies also rely on CMEMS for their own regional service provision, related to Pollution combat and Monitoring of Coastal Environment, Water Quality, Maritime Safety, Renewable Energies and Offshore activities.
The CMEMS delivers a core information service to any user including service providers, commercial and administrative end-users or the R&D sector related to 4 benefit areas:
- Maritime Safety
- Coastal and Marine Environment
- Marine Resources and Weather
- Seasonal Forecasting and Climate activities
