A series of six maps depicting Arctic sea ice age from 2000 to 2024. Each map shows the Arctic region with colors representing the age of the sea ice, ranging from yellow for older ice to dark blue for younger ice. The progression illustrates changes over time with each map labeled with its corresponding year: 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2024.
Introducing the new Arctic Sea Ice Age product, offering one of the most advanced long-term records of Arctic sea ice evolution.

The image is an announcement for the "Copernicus Marine Service Annual User Survey" titled "Have Your Say." It invites feedback before May 15, 2026. The image includes logos for the European Union, Copernicus Marine Service, and Mercator Ocean International. The survey is available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. A graphic of an ocean waves background and a globe outline are included.
One month left to take part in the Copernicus Marine Annual User Feedback Survey. Your responses help guide how the service develops. Open until 15 May.

Key message from the #MarineSpatialPlanning workshop, hosted by @mercatorocean.bsky.social on 31 March:
Ocean data is most useful to planners when it is well-documented, accessible and built into the planning process from the start.

We asked participants at Mercator Ocean International’s #MarineSpatialPlanning workshop: what is the greatest challenge for implementing Marine Spatial Planning in Europe?
Coordination. Data. Governance. Collaboration.
These are the challenges #CopernicusMarine is built to help address
