MyOcean & its users

MyOcean is both a groundbreaking FP7 project and a pre-operational service aimed at delivering vital marine information. Ending in March 2012, it has paved the way for a full-fledged, sustainable GMES Marine Core Service. As we reach the key milestone of 2012, conditions for the sustainability of MyOcean, including governance and funding mechanisms, are under review. With an emphasis on user uptake, downstream services are being developed to enhance the operational capabilities based on core service information. This initiative seeks to fulfill user needs and improve the development of maritime services across Europe.

  1. MyOcean & its users

  2. MyOcean & its Follow-On • MyOcean: both a PROJECT & a SERVICE • A EU FP7 project ending in March 2012 • A service delivering information in “pre-operational” configuration • Main challenges for MyOcean • Pave the way for a fully-fledged & sustainable GMES Marine Core Service • 2012 is THE key milestone

  3. MyOcean & its Follow-On • Conditions for MyOcean / MCS sustainability • A medium/long term governance & funding scheme should be in place by 2012 • EC proposal for a GMES Initial Operation regulation under discussion by the EU Council & Parliament • Work Programme for funding beyond 2011 to be decided by end 2010 • MyOcean Board is analysing with European Commission & other stakeholders the possible options for the MCS provision • MyOcean / MCS user uptake • Relevance of Core Service concept implies implementation of downstream services based on core service information • Economies of scale for downstream sector induced by public investment in core services & related observation infrastructure • Downstream services should be developed/improved from now to be operational in the medium-term

  4. The Marine Core Service concept • GMES Core Service concept elaborated for/from the Marine Service • Main drivers • “Political”: EU can only govern & fund “multi-purpose European” services • European added-value through a common basis • Data policy: open (free access) to products/information included in the GMES Service catalogue • Downstream services (national/regional & private) are not GMES Services • Specific case: feeding of other GMES Services or European organisations (eg EEA, EMSA…) • Technical • GMES Services provide generic information: single product line • Customisation for specific use/users not considered by GMES

  5. The Marine Core Service concept

  6. Implications • Major role of intermediate users • Need for user federation, e.g. through the (4) MyOcean application areas, • for conveying common requirements/demands • especially at the interface between MyOcean/MCS & downstream services
