Marine ecosystems face increasing pressures from human activities, climate change, and pollution, complicating efforts to manage these environments sustainably. Current management strategies often lack comprehensive data integration and user-friendly tools for effective policy analysis.
The complexity of socio-ecological interactions in marine systems requires advanced models and harmonised data to inform decision-making. Diverse stakeholders critically need interoperable solutions for efficient marine resource management.
The EU-funded SURIMI project addresses these challenges by developing social-ecological models and user-friendly solutions integrated within the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO).
Its toolbox will offer open-source models, harmonised data, and AI-driven policy analysis tools, engaging stakeholders to enhance the DTO.
