Advancing Socio-Ecological Digital Twins of the Ocean SEAtwins cluster

SEAtwins cluster consists of four Horizon Europe projects (SEADOTs, SEADITO, SURIMI, and EcoTwin) and is dedicated to integrating socio-ecological and socio-economic models into the EU Digital Ocean Platform. It fosters collaboration across projects with the aim to enhance ocean governance through the development of holistic decision-support tools. It also works to ensure that shared methodologies, tools, and standards adhere to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). Through joint workshops, symposiums, and training sessions, SEAtwins will amplify impact and strengthen Europe’s role in the global DTO community.

The SEAtwins cluster initiative was endorsed by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development under the Digital Twins of the Ocean (DITTO) programme.

SEADOTs strengthens the European Digital Twin Ocean (EU DTO) by developing and integrating next-generation socioecological models for inclusive, informed, and adaptive marine governance. It focuses on demonstrators in the Norwegian North Sea, Southern North Sea, and the Baltic Sea, working closely with policymakers, marine managers, and local stakeholders. The SEADOTs platform provides an interactive interface for scenario-based policy exploration, complemented by learning materials promoting digital ocean literacy.

SEADITO supports the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters, ” integrating analytical methods and tools into the EU DTO. It enhances ecosystem-based management through interoperable, spatially explicit social-ecological models and decision-support components adhering to FAIR principles. Case studies in the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean, and a Pan-European context underpin its multi-actor processes. The SEADITO platform features visual demonstrators and a Scenario Toolkit (WIST).

SURIMI focuses on integrating socio-ecological models to assess fisheries management impacts, delivering userfriendly tools enabling scenario-based exploration of sustainable marine solutions. It features a modular toolbox incorporating systems such as Ecopath with Ecosim, POSEIDON, and advanced AI-powered interfaces. Stakeholder engagement ensures tools reflect real-world needs, enhancing transparency and trust.

EcoTwin advances digital ocean management by developing innovative socio-ecological models for coastal regions, including the Southern North Sea, Celtic Sea, Thracian Sea, and Waterford Estuary. Using graph theory, AI, and participatory feedback processes, EcoTwin creates tools that allow stakeholders to assess policy scenarios in a collaborative way. Its approach ensures that complex ecological and social data are seamlessly integrated for effective decision-making.
