New Copernicus Capability for Trophic Ocean Networks NECCTON

NECCTON is transforming Europe’s capability to predict and protect the biodiversity of marine ecosystems. By advancing our understanding of how ocean life and habitats respond to human pressures and climate change, NECCTON will strengthen Europe’s capacity to safeguard marine biodiversity and food security. New modelling products focusing on fisheries, pollution, and benthic habitats will enable the Copernicus Marine Service to better inform ocean policymakers, managers, and the public.
The Horizon Europe project NECCTON is developing innovative and fully integrated ecosystem models that more realistically simulate the functioning of the ocean, from microscopic plankton to higher trophic level organisms, including fish, marine mammals, and benthic communities. By combining satellite and in situ observations, NECCTON will allow the Copernicus Marine Service to deliver more accurate, detailed, and comprehensive products on biodiversity, pollution, and fisheries.

Through these advances, NECCTON will significantly enhance our ability to monitor and predict changes in marine ecosystems, improving our understanding of the pressures exerted by climate change, pollution, and human exploitation. Ultimately, this knowledge will support the conservation of marine biodiversity, the sustainable management of ocean resources, and the long-term resilience of marine ecosystems.
