The Copernicus Marine Service
@copernicusmarine
The #CopernicusMarine Service, implemented by Mercator Ocean International on behalf of the European Commission, provides data & forecasting services for marine applications and coordinates the #CopernicusCoastalHub and #CopernicusArcticHub.
Have you explored our E-Training guides? Data freely available from Copernicus Marine has tracked tuna habitats in the High Seas, and is now available as a how-to guide for QGIS. 🔗 https://marine.copernicus.eu/services/user-learning-services #GIS #Tuna 📷 Ray Harrington / Unsplash
Basking Shark sightings in Europe have risen in 2026 due to rising ocean temperatures and increased zooplankton blooms. Copernicus Marine’s MyOcean Pro viewer helps us see this change in near-real time. 🔗 https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/viewer/expert #BaskingShark
Feeling warm? June 2026 was the hottest recorded for the ocean, averaging 21C. Copernicus Marine’s MyOcean Health and Pro viewers help you visualise the impact of rising sea surface temperatures globally. 🔗 https://marine.copernicus.eu/access-data/ocean-visualisation-tools #Heatwave
The Champion User Advisory Group joined the Copernicus Marine General Assembly in June, providing valuable feedback on our products and services. 🔗 See what they had to say: https://marine.copernicus.eu/news/cuag-contributes-to-the-future-copernicus-marine-service #CUAG
Get ready for Copernicus Marine Service’s 2026 Hackathon! Register by 11th October with your idea for an innovative ocean solution to take part in this 2026 challenge with UltraHack. 🔗 https://events.marine.copernicus.eu/copernicus-marine-service-hackathon-2026 #OceanData #Hackathon
This map projection showing sea surface temperature puts a spotlight on the world's oceans and was created by Chiara Phillips using #CopernicusMarine data as part of last year's #Dataviz Challenge. Browse last year’s gallery of entries for inspo: https://bit.ly/4bGj5lr
Want to learn how to use the new MyOcean Health platform? Watch this short explainer video with Simon van Gennip., Research Scientist at @mercatorocean.bsky.social, to learn more. Start your ocean tracking journey with MyOcean Health: https://myoceanhealth.marine.copernicus.eu/en
Global ocean sea surface wind almost looks like a perfectly frosted Earth-shaped cake in this visualisation by Julian Hoffmann Anton using #CopernicusMarine data, created as part of last year’s Dataviz Challenge. Browse past entries gallery for more inspo: https://bit.ly/4bGj5lr
As the pattern of climate extremes continues, monitor events using #CopernicusMarine data via WEkEO, whose visualisation tools allow you to explore and download data from Copernicus Marine and more. https://bit.ly/4wXT9tQ 📸 Seawater temperatures around Europe, 25/7/25
MyOcean Health is a free platform that transforms ocean observations into clear, interactive indicators of ocean health, making it possible for anyone to track changes to the planet's largest life-support system: https://bit.ly/45f10Y6 📹 Simon van Gennip, @mercatorocean.bsky.social
We’re looking for a contractor to develop coastal demonstrators and organise events and digital capacity-building initiatives that promote adoption of #CopernicusMarine within national communities. Watch the information session on demand for more info:
The 3rd CLMS General Assembly brought together experts to shape the future of land monitoring. Corinne Derval of @mercatorocean.bsky.social led a breakout session on “The role of Copernicus Services in tackling climate-driven risks in coastal areas” in collaboration with @eea.europa.eu.
On 7 July, take part in a free online session for journalists on using Copernicus Marine data for reporting. Live demonstrations of MyOcean Health and other tools, covering ocean warming, heatwaves and biological indicators. Register: https://bit.ly/4eJzXZa
