The vision is to improve and innovate the cooperation in coastal observatories in Europe by implementing the coastal part of a European Ocean Observing System, to cooperate with other European initiatives as ESFRI (EURO-ARGO, EMSO, EMBRC), Integrated Infrastructures (FIXO3 etc.), OCEAN OF TOMORROW sensors innovation project (SenseNET, NEXOS), the emerging European biological network (EMBRC) and EMODnet to contribute to provide services to the research community and the society.
In the continuity of JERICO (FP7), the objective of JERICO-NEXT consists in strengthening and enlarging a solid and transparent European network in providing operational services for the timely, continuous and sustainable delivery of high quality environmental data and information products related to marine environment in European coastal seas.
In order to develop the Jerico Next Science Strategy for future monitoring we need to identify environmental threats and gaps in monitoring.
To accomplish this, we have created a questionnaire to capture information on environmental threats and monitoring programmes in Europe.
The questionnaire has been developed in a format which facilitates database analysis of the information returned. It needs to be completed online, using Google forms, and includes two linked forms/questionnaires.
- The first questionnaire is to identify threats in European Seas, and to assess whether existing monitoring programmes are adequate.
- The second questionnaire is to provide information on current monitoring programmes. This form includes a link to a spreadsheet so that information on monitoring stations can be provided.
When you click ‘submit’, your response will be received online. You can save partially completed forms, as long as the required fields are completed, and go back to an entry and edit it later. To do so: click...
Transnational Access (TNA) facilities
The primary objective of the Jerico-NEXT Transnational Access activity is to enable scientists and engineers to freely access coastal infrastructures not available in their own countries. The Jerico-NEXT Consortium includes research structures such as Ferryboxes, Fixed Platforms, Gliders, and associated support facilities, i.e. Calibration Laboratories. Further information
Follow the Glider is a web tool aimed at students and developed by CEFAS, IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB) and SOCIB (Balearic Coastal Monitoring and Forecasting System) as part of the European FP7 – JERICO project. It is based on the glider-monitoring tool available at www.socib.es.
