The 7th Continent Expedition aims to build up awareness amongst general public, students as well as local industry and political stakeholders about the devastating impact of plastic waste dispersion in the ocean. Having studied plastic waste dispersion and accumulation in the ocean, the organisation strongly believes that public awareness and mobilisation must go hand-in-hand with research in order to put an end to this type of pollution. According to Patrick Deixonne, 7th Continent Expedition founder -We must all spread awareness about our impact on the ocean. Alexandra Ter Halle, CNRS chief scientist of the 7th Continent Expedition testifies that "Plastic debris is fragmented into tiny pieces (less than a millimetre) and is responsible for animal entanglement and the transport of invasive species and chemicals.

For more than 50 years, global production and consumption of plastics have continued to rise. Plastic has many attractive qualities which have led to an over-consumption of plastic goods. However, durable and very slow to degrade, plastic materials have ultimately become waste with staying power. Plastic litter has become a large source of pollution, lethal to nature. The annual plastic production has increased globally of + 620% in the last 70 years. During year 2014, 311 million metrics tons of plastic were produced.

The French « Roussillon » area along the Mediterranean coast is regularly exposed to flooding events. The French CNRS research centre in Toulouse, Laboratoire d'aérologie at Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées, has developed a suite of downscaled models in order to better comprehend the flooding potential of the Tet river near Perpignan in Southern France. The river flooding potential is studied using a method called Dynamical Downscaling. This method is used to obtain high-resolution local models from lower resolution CMEMS models as forcing conditions. A Wetting Drying 3D algorithm is capable of predicting potential flooded zones and to better plan flooding prevention.

In the past recent years, severe blooms of cyanobacteria occured in the Baltic Sea during the summer season, forcing local authorities in Poland and other Baltic countries to close bathing areas for several weeks. The HAB-RISK consortium has developed a service for the Baltic Sea which daily detects Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) and proposes drift forecasts for the next three days. This service has been especially designed for local authorities in charge of the monitoring of bathing waters quality in the Baltic Sea waters. Via a web or a mobile app interface, the user can select specific bathing locations and receive notifications about risk level today and the next days. These data help users in planning their monitoring daily duties by focusing their efforts on areas where higher level of risks have been forecasted.

The northern Aegean Sea is an area of increased marine traffic. There are typically over 80 cargo ships and tankers in transit at any given time. The Ocean Physics and Modelling Group of the University of Athens has developed a forecasting tool in the framework of TOSCA MED project to assist decision makers and stakeholders in the event of an oil spill in the Aegean Sea. They have developed a modelling suite, ranging from low resolution Copernicus Marine hydrodynamic models to higher resolution local models, and finally to oil drift models. The high-resolution hydrodynamic model is downscaled from the Copernicus Marine Service Mediterranean Sea model. Dynamical downscaling is a method for obtaining high-resolution local models from lower resolution CMEMS models as forcing conditions. The TOSCA MED platform provides for example useful, very high-resolution ocean current forecasts for oil spill risk management in the Gulf of Alexandroupolis.

The multi Model Ensemble approach is a common approach in weather forecast meteorology and climate studies, and relatively new in oceanography. Because of incomplete understanding of the physics of the earth system, different models representing weather/climate/ocean processes in different ways are developed providing a source of uncertainty in forecasts. In order to address this source of uncertainty, single projections from several models are used to generate the Multi Model Ensemble. With NOOS-Drift, they could activate a similar transnational mechanism in a single click and receive analysis results within 15 minutes.

They have developed a downscaling modeling suite where the Copernicus Marine Service model is used to provide boundary conditions for a higher resolution ocean model to monitor turbid plumes. Fed by CMEMS data, numerical models and optical imagery processing are coupled in order to improve the forecasting capacity. These tools are cross-validated by CMEMS and local in-situ data. This service allows stakeholders to optimize preventive closure of recreational beaches in case of sanitary risk suspicion, e.g. bacterial -E. coli or coliform -contamination. In such case, the service also supports further the management of bathing water quality. In summary, it produces alerts in case of risk resulting in an efficient optimization of preventive beach closure, pollutant source identification, and finally aims to improve sewer system management.

SUPPORT TO MARINE SEISMIC SHIP OPERATIONS

CASE â&#x20AC;˘ USE OVE RVIE W

CGG collects seismic data to image the subsurface of the Earth. At sea, this data is acquired by deploying large spreads of sensors: up to 14 cables separated by 100m each and up to 10km in length are towed between 7m and 50m below the sea surface. These operations can be affected by environmental conditions (sea current, swell, wind). Access to relevant marine information, through services like CMEMS, is essential to operation performance and safety. The oceanographic information is used at different stages of an acquisition. During preparation, past statistical data is processed to assess ocean conditions, identify risks and anticipate possible performance issues. During surveys, the global understanding of the ocean dynamics is needed to set correct equipment and sensors parameters, make real time decisions for managing the environmental risks, and ideally for optimizing acquisition strategy. Specifically, acoustic propagation parameters are based on water column information, the steering of the acquisition spread requires a good multilayer current anticipation, and accurate weather forecast ensures safe management and protection of the equipment.

TURTLES MONITORED THANKS TO WHAT THEY EAT

CASE â&#x20AC;˘ USE OVE RVIE W

CLS and CNR have developed a model to predict oceanic biomass of 6 micronekton groups as part of the OSMOSIS project. Micronektons are eaten by predators such as marine mammals, turtles and tuna, hence modelling micronekton behaviour helps with the monitoring of its predators. Micronekton are relatively small but actively swimming oceanic organisms ranging in size between plankton (&lt; 2 cm), which drift with the currents, and larger nekton (&gt; 10 cm), which have the ability to swim freely without being overly affected by currents. Modelled hindcasting and forecasting of micronekton movements contribute to the further simulation of the habitats of higher trophic level predators (e.g. marine mammals, turtles, tuna). Patrick Lehodey from CLS says that "Copernicus Marine Service ocean temperature and currents products are key inputs for our model, as the development and migration of micronekton are strongly linked to temperature and ocean currents respectively. We also use Copernicus Marine Service global high-resolution models to validate our micronekton model.
