Its outcomes include the accelerated sea level rise since 1993, the unprecedented warming of the upper ocean, and the economic valuation of the carbon sequestration in the Mediterranean Sea.

Seamless is a H2020 project aimed at improving the current European capability to simulate and predict the state of marine ecosystems. The project focuses on state indicators that are linked to the ocean “health” (e.g. to oxygenation, acidification, eutrophication), “services” (e.g. to sustainable aquaculture) and “response” to climate change (e.g. to the transfer of carbon in the ocean depths).
