NECCTON News December 2025

NECCTON is entering a key phase, with nearly 30 new marine ecosystem products now being validated — spanning fisheries, pollution, benthic habitats, biogeochemistry, and climate risk. This issue highlights major scientific advances, new AI-driven tools, climate and ecosystem projections, and how NECCTON is strengthening the Copernicus Marine Service to better support biodiversity protection and sustainable ocean management.

We also share recent publications, project highlights from international events, and how NECCTON is contributing to the future of operational ecosystem prediction and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean.

👉 Read the latest newsletter to explore how NECCTON is helping turn cutting-edge science into actionable ocean knowledge.

Mapping 25 Years of Micronekton Dynamics Across Changing Ocean Provinces

This study defines environmentally similar “provinces” to map and track changes in micronekton biomass and vertical structure from 1998 to 2023, shedding light on the seasonal and year‑to‑year variability of these key mid‑sized ocean organisms that drive deep‑sea carbon export and feed many marine predators....
