Are you interested to know that a pod of minke whales off the coast of Svalbard, Norway excrete 600 tonnes of poo a day and how this is related to ocean carbon? Read Why whales are important in the Oceanic Carbon Cycle to learn about the research taking place as part of the OceanICU investigation by Carla Freitas and Morten Skogen.

Why is everybody talking about fish? Fiona Culhane and Paula Silva, Post-docs who recently joined the OceanICU project, take the time to explain the important role fish may or may not play on the ocean carbon process in a friendly blog. Talking Fish, Fisheries and the Carbon Cycle.

How will new knowledge from OceanICU contribute to Ocean Literacy? Nathalie Van Isacker explains how tools like the European Atlas of the Seas will be used to help educators and stakeholders wishing to visualise information about the ocean. Read her blog, featuring a good introduction to the European Atlas of the Seas: OceanICU and Wider Society.

Connecting OceanICU to end users

We are actively engaging with Blue Economy Industries, Policy Makers, Educators and European Youth (between 16 to 30) to develop and deepen their understanding of ocean carbon and the crucial role the ocean  plays in regulating the  global climate.

For Policy Makers

For Industry

For Scientists

For Civil Society

For Wider Society
