MyOcean offers a monitoring service at European and National levels.

Physical and marine biogeochemical components are useful for water quality monitoring and pollution control, in the context of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive in particular.

Sea level rise helps to predict coastal erosion.

Sea surface temperature is one of the primary physical impacts of climate change and many marine ecosystems in European seas are affected by rising sea temperature.
