The Oceanic Observatory of Madeira - OOM is a R&I center led by ARDITI. Launched in January 2014, OOM gathers 15 regional partners, operating in the common field of Ocean Sciences and Blue Economy. OOM is dedicated to research and permanent monitoring of the Ocean, which aims at providing the region with marine resources evaluation and management and adequate means for its sustainable development. To do so, OOM develops consolidated historical data, observations, and forecasts in a common platform, and will soon provide a global ocean observing system able to deliver ocean forecasts and early warnings, climate projections, and assessments, contributing to monitoring and protect the ocean health, creating a Madeira Digital Ocean space.
