DTO-Bioflow

The DTO-Bioflow project enables the integration of biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean. The importance of this project is demonstrated by several policy-relevant Demonstrator Use Cases (DUC).

Demonstrator Use Case 3 (DUC3) is one of the key Demonstrator Use Cases within the DTO-BioFlow project, focusing on the assessment of pelagic biodiversity and the impact of human activities in marine ecosystems. This use case is vital for informing environmental policy and management, as it contributes directly to the OSPAR thematic assessments. By integrating biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean, DUC3 provides valuable insights into ecosystem health, supporting evidence-based decision-making at both regional and global levels.
