How can ocean models help us face climate risks❓ 🌍

Meet @moirai-project.bsky.social, the European project shaping the future of ocean modelling. 🌊

We at @iMARES_group, from @ICMCSIC, are proud partners!

🔗all info about the project:

Moirai

MOIRAI, named after the three Greek goddesses of fate, stands as a pioneering project at the intersection of past, present, and future. MOIRAI weaves a comprehensive understanding of the ocean’s dynamics and biogeochemical cycles through advanced models, integrating historical data, current observations, and future projections. Integrated into the frameworks of Destination Earth (DE) and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO), MOIRAI will significantly advance our comprehension and mitigation of climate-related challenges.

The High Seas Treaty has officially achieved its 60th landmark ratification, a historic milestone for our ocean. 🌍

But ratification is just the start. Now comes the hard work: turning commitments into protections through transparency + accountability.

🌍 Climate change is already reshaping Mediterranean fisheries.

📊 With indicators like MTC and MTR, we can anticipate risks and opportunities.

💡 Time to act: science, management, and adaptation.

⚠️ Species like sardine, hake, and Norway lobster are declining.

📉 Fewer catches, lower income.

📈 But others like red shrimp and anchovy are on the rise.

🐟🔥 The sea is warming… and that’s changing what we catch and how much it’s worth.

📊 In the NW Mediterranean, we analyzed 23 years of data to understand how climate change is reshaping fisheries.

1️⃣🌊The Mediterranean is a biodiversity hotspot, but also a witness to climate and human impacts over the last 130k years.
We conducted a systematic review to understand how these changes affected marine mammals, fish, and molluscs.
