The goal of SCOOPp is to establish a central hub for initiatives that enable cost-effective ocean observations related to all fields of marine science (biology, physics, chemistry, biodiversity and geology). The hub is addressed to all actors involved in the data value chain from collectors to users, i.e. sensor/device developers, citizen scientists (users), scientists, data aggregators and data management experts. Their knowledge will be a resource made available on the SCOOP website. It will provide directories to access information about suitable technologies, instrumentations, and sampling schemes but also procedures to ingest data to aggregators, along with best practices and standards protocols based on existing frameworks. It will propose easy to use tutorials and easy to understand training modules tailored to the various actors needs to enlarge the pool.
SCOOPp aims to facilitate the collection of cost-efficient and community driven marine observations and ensure that the data collected is FAIR and available to users for uptake. It is a new niche in the marine observation world.

MArine Citizen science data Horizon
CS-MACH1 will build a network that brings together marine Citizen Science (CS) actors with a focus on data flows. The project stands for MArine Citizen science (MSC) data Horizon, and is inspired by the speed of sound (Mach1), as the project proposed concept is the fastest way for MCS Initiatives to collaboratively reach a wide impact via data uptake, while creating a longer lasting network rising in the horizon.
As the main objective CS-MACH1 will develop a Marine Citizen Science (MCS) data network and its online hub to empower MCS Initiatives towards data uptake and integration by users. This will be implemented by supporting continuous interaction between CS communities, technology providers, data management experts and researchers, and by providing the necessary cost-efficient technology, data management best practices and standards, training and support to produce FAIR data flows.
The effectiveness of MCS data elevation actions and their scientific and societal impact will be demonstrated with two use-cases (Northern EU and Southern EU Seas) and a series of pilot sites. Citizen groups will use low-cost technologies to gather marine data to address global challenges, supporting traditional monitoring methods.
The CS-MACH1 consortium is coordinated by CMCC and composed of 14 partners, located in 9 EU countries and 1 HE associated country.
