About

Welcome to the EuroMarine WIKI pages. Through this integrated EuroMarine WIKI Portal, the dissemination of knowledge to policy-makers and the general public is enhanced. The Portal includes information from the three marine FP6 networks MarBEF, EUR-OCEANS and Marine Genomics Europe.

Currently, the printed final reports of MarBEF and Marine Genomics Europe have been converted into WIKI pages, enabling easy updates in the future. From EUR-OCEANS, a number of the produced fact sheets have been transferred to WIKI pages.

In the future, more pages on marine biodiversity (from genes to marine ecosystems) will be added with the help of experts.
