1. A near real-time earth observation data centre
2. A set of sensors to collect in-situ data on environmental and biological parameters transmitted in near-real time to the data centre
3. An array of acoustic receivers to track marine fauna movements
4. A web-based platform, integrating the whole database and providing open access to the information

This will allow a better understanding of coastal and transitional waters ecosystem functioning, assessing long-term trends and spatial variability. Gathering such scientific knowledge is expected to support scientific production, socio-economic activities, such as fishing and aquaculture, and contribute to the conservation of endangered species, as well as to provide a variety of services to a wide range of stakeholders.
