Project ID 549INT2005

The overall objective of AtlantECO is to determine the structure and function of Atlantic microbiome in the context of ocean circulation and presence of pollutants, to assess: 1. its role in driving the dynamics of Atlantic ecosystems at basin and regional scales; 2. its potential of being used as a sensor of ecosystem state; 3. the mechanisms by which it drives the provision of 5 ES. This will be the key to improve our predictions on future provision of ecosystem services in the basin and to favour the establishment of a Blue Growth strategy. Such an approach is complementary to all existing projects on Atlantic ecosystems.
