Explore NECCTON, a cutting-edge Horizon Europe project transforming Europe’s marine biodiversity predictions. Through advanced modelling in fisheries, pollution, and benthic habitats, NECCTON equips the Copernicus Marine Service to inform ocean policymakers, managers, and the public.

Tuna fisheries are vital to global food security and island economies, but climate change threatens their future. Through the Our Common Ocean initiative and EU-funded projects like NECCTON, Mercator Ocean International and partners are developing advanced models to predict how tuna stocks will respond to climate change and fishing pressure. These tools help test future management scenarios—supporting sustainable fisheries and economic resilience for vulnerable Pacific and Indian Ocean nations.
