Marine environments are shaped by a constant flow of complex interactions. Fish respond to nutrient levels, plankton blooms rise and fall with temperature, and coastal communities change fishing practices as policies evolve.

Marine ecosystems are complex networks of interactions. Species feed on one another, compete for resources, respond to environmental shifts and are shaped by human activities such as fishing and coastal development.

At the recent 4-Oceans Workshop in Dublin, members of the EcoTwin team, Dr. Saikat Biswas and Dr. Rory Connolly, presented early results from a new attempt to understand historic whaling using modern data science.

Across the world’s coastlines, resilience is becoming one of the most important ideas in marine science and policy. It describes the ability of a socio ecological system to withstand disturbances and absorb shocks.

Coastal regions are places where the needs of people and the needs of nature meet every day. The ocean provides food, moderates the climate, protects shorelines and supports jobs in tourism, fisheries and marine transport.

Launched in 2025, SEAtwins exemplifies a mission-oriented approach to ocean research and innovation. It is not a single project, but a cluster of four Horizon Europe projects working in concert: SEADOTs, SEADITO, SURIMI, and EcoTwin.
