The specific goals of MEECE are:
To improve the knowledge base on marine ecosystems and
their response to climate and anthropogenic driving forces
To develop innovative predictive management tools and strategies to resolve the dynamic interactions of the global change driver, changes in ocean circulation, climate, ocean acidification, pollution, over fishing and alien invasive species on the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems
To expand the knowledge based and provide scientific tools for the implementation of the European Marine Strategy
