NECCTON releases key report - The NECCTON project delivers 27 new ecosystem variables, many recommended for the Copernicus Marine Service — from fish biomass to oxygen & pollution. zenodo.org/records/1866... @mercatorocean.bsky.social @copernicusmarine.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu @pml.ac.uk
Coming soon to #OSM2026! NECCTON + OceanPredict host a session on how ecosystem modelling is transforming ocean policy — from AI‑hybrid forecasts to biodiversity, pollution, multi‑stressors, and climate‑driven fish resilience.
Exploring the ocean from plankton to predators! 🌊 At #OSM26, NECCTON posters showcased advances in ecosystem modeling: zooplankton migration, sediment dynamics, light, micronekton & plankton diversity for a more sustainable, predictable ocean. @mercatorocean.bsky.social @pml.ac.uk @ec.europa.eu
NECCTON team at #OSM26 showcased cutting-edge science at “Advancing Marine Ecosystem Modeling for a Predictable and Sustainable Ocean.” From plankton diversity & micronekton to light dynamics & carbon cycling, these advances are shaping the next generation of ocean prediction systems. @ec.europa.eu
At #OSM26, Helen Powey presents a novel two-way coupled ecosystem model (ERSEM–MIZER) for the NW European Shelf. By linking plankton, benthos & fish, the work reveals how fishing & climate change reshape the entire food web, and why one-way models miss key ecosystem dynamics.

NECCTON News | Dec 2025
New marine ecosystem tools are being validated across fisheries, pollution, biodiversity and climate risk—supporting Copernicus Marine and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. 👉 Read more tinyurl.com/53hsu69d @mercatorocean.bsky.social @pml.ac.uk @ec.europa.eu
New from NECCTON: Deliverable 6.2 details major advances in modelling benthic systems & suspended particulate matter (SPM).
Refined SPM processes, wave effects, & ML-based species distribution models for 339 fauna + 2 seagrass species. zenodo.org/records/1679...
Great to present @NECCTON, SEACLIM & BioGeoSea progress at @ospar.bsky.social WG on Changing Ocean Climate & Acidification 🌊.
We’re enhancing modelling & observations via @copernicusmarine.bsky.social & #GOOS, with results shared through www.edito.eu EDITO to support action on a changing ocean.
NECCTON Project Coordinator Stefano Ciavatta joined the #BioGeoSea kick-off! Exciting synergies ahead: NECCTON’s high trophic level models could link with BioGeoSea’s ocean components in Earth System Models, boosting climate studies and run operationally in the @copernicusmarine.bsky.social
