Long-term time-series datasets from the marine environment are of critical importance to facilitate: - Better understanding of ocean, earth and climate system processes; - Monitoring the rate and scale of environmental change; - Detection of hazards and events; - Effective policy making for the sustainable management of seas and oceans. The 2nd Marine Board Forum will bring together scientists, policy makers and stakeholders to discuss critical gaps and opportunities for the long-term monitoring of Europe’s marine environment. It will identify the scientific and policy actions necessary to achieve an integrated network of marine observatories around Europe’s coasts and seas, which will form a critical component of the extended observational infrastructure and of the EMODNET.
