OBAMA-NEXT main goal is to develop a toolbox which generates and delivers the information required to evaluate and communicate the status and trends of marine ecosystems and their biodiversity in an accurate, user-friendly, and cost-effective manner.

OBAMA-NEXT will strengthen Europe’s capability to acquire and use sustained and continuous biophysical ocean observations to support the effective management of marine ecosystems and the services they provide.

This project has started in December 2022 and will last for 48 months.
