Project Monitoring Sites

The NC (National Conservation) initiative is dedicated to preserving and studying marine environments critical to the health of our oceans. In this context, NC focuses on pelagic ecosystems—those vast open-sea areas essential for marine biodiversity and ecosystem balance. By monitoring these regions, NC aims to support long-term conservation efforts and provide valuable data for sustainable management.

mNCEA stands for the Marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment, a framework developed to evaluate the value and health of marine ecosystems. Within the PelCap project, mNCEA provides critical guidelines and standards to ensure that conservation efforts are informed by robust, science-based assessments of marine resources and ecosystem services. This approach helps align PelCap with broader national and international conservation goals.
