MARCO-BOLO

Coastal and marine areas are rich in biodiversity and vital resources but face intense pressures from overexploitation, climate change, pollution, and development. While many programmes assess environmental health, they are often fragmented and short-term. MARCO-BOLO aims to transform marine biodiversity monitoring by connecting existing initiatives, optimising and improving methods, and further innovating technologies for biodiversity observations. The project will engage with diverse stakeholders to tailor their research and observation data for direct use, delivering practical tools that will allow politicians and companies to determine biodiversity health, predict and monitor changes from imposed policies, and proactively manage environments.
