DiverSea Work Packages

DiverSea Work Packages

DiverSea brings together a diverse team of specialists to develop ground-breaking technologies for
marine biodiversity research, to integrate and apply novel data types in state-of-the-art modelling, and to fully
integrate the outcomes of this research into policy, planning, and public communication.
