EMBRC (European Marine Biological Resource Centre) is proud to support two inspiring challenges at Ocean Hackathon 2025. Join the team!

How can EMBRC’s marine research bring real-world solutions to fields such as public health and food safety? Sandra Lage at CCMAR explains why and how toxins accumulating in ocean organisms affect communities, tourism, and economies.

Blue data helps organisations overcome challenges, decrease risks, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. Facilitating access to technological platforms, biological materials, and blue data empowers government bodies and the private sector to make the best evidence-based decisions.

Sustainable aquaculture reduces pressure on wild fish stocks while creating jobs, boosting economies, and ensuring food security. Mery Pina, explains how crucial it is to support Aquaculture across Europe.

EMBRC’s European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON) observatory has released a new dataset collected through its sampling activities across Europe.

Conservation ecologist, Justine Pagnier talks about ways of improving marine monitoring and the detection of alien species, as well as challenges ahead of ocean observation. She also explains how EMBRC Sweden is progressing in marine monitoring using environmental DNA (eDNA) as well as Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS).
