What is « MyOcean » ?
Marine Core Service

MyOcean is a PROJECT
– An FP7 project, the GMES/Kopernikus « Marine Fast Track » project
– 3 years ; start in 2009
– Cost 20 M€/year, with 11 M€/year EC funding
2009 – 2010 – 2012

MyOcean is a SERVICE
– The main component of the « GMES » Marine Core Service
– Global & regional Ocean monitoring and forecasting
Marine Core Service

The challenge
MY OCEAN
Marine
Core
Service
A European Marine “core” service
seeking for the “european added value”
Marine Core Service
From GMES MCS
Implementation Group report
by P.Ryder & al, oct 2005
 In 3 years, create the maximum “core” value for the users
by providing on a reliable basis “the common denominator
data for all users in the marine sector, in other words the
information for existing & new downstream services.”
The market
GOAL: Collecting and understanding users’
requirements, to adjust the MyOcean offer
MY OCEAN

Core
Service
Intermediate users
Marine Core Service
Users of the MyOcean core service are specialized service providers
of the downstream sector.
Market Segmentation
Marine Core Service
 The users, their requirements, their assessment
Area 1
« MARINE SAFETY »
(marine operations,
oil spill combat, ship routing,
defense, search & rescue, …)
Area 3
« MARINE AND
COASTAL ENVIRONMENT »
(water quality, pollution,
coastal activities, …)
Area 2
« MARINE RESOURCES »
(fish stock management,
ICES, FAO, …)
Area 4
« CLIMATE &
SEASONAL FORECASTING »
(climate monitoring, ice,
seasonal forecasting, ..)
Marine Core Service

A network of partners all
around Europe

A privileged link with firstrank users
The MyOcean value
… to market user needs
– EU agencies
EEA
– Conventions and policies


A MyOcean « core user
group »
