European COastal-shelf sea
OPerational monitoring and
forecasting system
ECOOP
Call text
(most recent version)
• Integrated development of European coastal and regional seas
forecasting systems (Topic for up-to-one IP)
• Support the consolidation, integration and development of existing
networks (remote sensing and in-situ observations) into an
integrated pan-European system able to make long-term
systematic measurements of the oceanic parameters, including
biological parameters, in the regional and coastal seas of Europe.
Such a system is targeted at detecting environmental and climate
changes, predicting their evolution, producing forecasts and
developing decision supporting systems, taking particularly into
account the GMES and GEO initiatives. Such a system should be
designed to respond to the end-users needs as stressed in the
GMES 2004-2008 Implementation Plan. Emphasis will be given to
international co-operation and to the participation of SMEs and to
international cooperation partners, as well as on the potential for
technology transfer.

– Public authorities and private
sector
– user-friendly and costeffective access to
standardised data and
harmonised data policies must
be fostered
– Basis for decision making

ECOOP
The goal of ECOOP is:
• to build up a sustainable pan-European capacity in providing timely,
quality assured marine service (including data, information
products, knowledge and scientific advices) in European coastalshelf seas
in order to support
• the request of environmental information for policy makers, the
monitoring and prediction of environmental and climate changes, for
GMES, the 6th Environmental Action Plan, European Water
Framework Directive and regional Conventions for environmental
protection,
through
• the development of an integrated capacity and a coordinated
research with critical mass which will ensure sustainable,
systematic and advanced performance with minimum overlap in
workload and maximum outcome.
Broad Issues
• Marine ecosystem health
• Sustainable marine resource
management
• Sedimentary system
sustainability
• Coastal climate change impacts
• Water cycle
• Water contamination, response
and mitigation
• Operational forecasting in shelf
and coastal areas
Major challenges
1.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
To integrate present
non-integrated monitoring and modelling activities,
non-integrated research and operational application activities,
non-integrated marine technology and operational monitoring
developments,
Un-coordinated long-term national research plans,
Un-coordinated national monitoring plans,
Separated research components
into
a sustainable operational monitoring and forecasting systems for
European coastal-shelf seas
2. To fill the necessary knowledge gaps and components in building up
the next generation systems through joint research activities
