FORCOAST

Description

Short description of the project: FORCOAST was a three-year project funded by Horizon 2020, aimed at developing and implementing innovative Copernicus-based downstream information services. FORCOAST operated in eight pilot sites across regional waters, including the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, and the coastal Atlantic Ocean, targeting diverse user communities in the specified sectors.

Tangible results: The results of the project included developing, testing and demonstrating, in operational mode, novel Copernicus-based downstream information services that would incorporate Copernicus Marine, Land and Climate Services Products, local monitoring data and advanced modelling in the service.

Application/relevance: The project has provided the European aquaculture industry with innovative Copernicus-based downstream information services, integrating marine land, and climate data for enhanced decision-making and sustainability practices.
