A world deep displacement dataset comprising more than 1600 000 Argo floats deep displacements, has been produced from the global Argo float database (GDAC). ANDRO dataset was completed over the period 2000-2009, then was partially but yearly updated since 2010. ANDRO actual contents and format is described in the user guide, which must be carefully read before using ANDRO (ANDRO format is also described in Ollitrault M. et al (2013)). One important feature of ANDRO is that the pressures measured during float drifts at depth, and suitably averaged are preserved in ANDRO (see Figure 2). To reach this goal, it was necessary to reprocess most of the Argo raw data, because of the many different decoding versions (roughly 100) not always applied by the DACs to the displacement data because they were mainly interested in the p,t,S profiles. The result of our work was the production of comprehensive files, named DEP (for déplacements in French), containing all the possibly retrievable float data.

The Mediterranean Sea is a natural laboratory to address questions about the formation and evolution of continental margins and the relationship between surface and deep processes. Different regional to local events have influenced the Neogene stratigraphic evolution of the Valencia and Menorca basins. The evaporites deposited during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) strongly impact its sedimentary and geomorphological evolution. Here we present a compilation of the main regional seismic stratigraphic markers from the continental platform to the deep sea. We provide in xyz format (z in second twt) the original picking files, (not interpolated) and interpolated grid of: i) the top of the Mesozoic formation, the base of the Neogene formations including the early Miocene volcanic features, ii) the top Burdigalian, Langhian, and Serravallian seismic horizons, iii) the seismic horizons related to the Messinian Salinity Crisis, iv) the Pliocene and Pleistocene seismic horizons v) the depth of the Seafloor. The available reflection seismic dataset results from the compilation and processing of vintage seismic profiles of previous works and from the Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana (IGME). This compilation is currently the first available in literature and provides a useful contribution to the scientific community working on sedimentary, tectonics and geodynamics within the Western Mediterranean basins.

In October 2019 we chose 15 sites from the 2019 EVHOE survey for environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. The French international EVHOE bottom trawl survey is carried out annually during autumn in the BoB to monitor demersal fish resources. At each site, we sampled seawater using Niskin bottles deployed with a circular rosette. There were nine bottles on the rosette, each of them able to hold ∼5 l of water. At each site, we first cleaned the circular rosette and bottles with freshwater, then lowered the rosette (with bottles open) to 5 m above the sea bottom, and finally closed the bottles remotely from the boat. The 45 l of sampled water was transferred to four disposable and sterilized plastic bags of 11.25 l each to perform the filtration on-board in a laboratory dedicated to the processing of eDNA samples. To speed up the filtration process, we used two identical filtration devices, each composed of an Athena® peristaltic pump (Proactive Environmental Products LLC, Bradenton, Florida, USA; nominal flow of 1.0 l min–1 ), a VigiDNA 0.20 μm filtration capsule (SPYGEN, le Bourget du Lac, France), and disposable sterile tubing. Each filtration device filtered the water contained in two plastic bags (22.5 l), which represent two replicates per sampling site. We followed a rigorous protocol to avoid contamination during fieldwork, using disposable gloves and single-use filtration equipment and plastic bags to process each water sample. At the end of each filtration, we emptied the water inside the capsule that we replaced by 80 ml of CL1 conservation buffer and stored the samples at room temperature following the specifications of the manufacturer (SPYGEN, Le Bourget du Lac, France). We processed the eDNA capsules at SPYGEN, following the protocol proposed by Polanco-Fernández et al., (2020). Half of the extracted DNA was processed by Sinsoma using newly developped ddPCR assays for European seabass (Dicentrachus labrax), European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo).  The other half of the extracted DNA was analysed using metabarcoding with teleo primer. The raw metabarcoding data set is available at https://www.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.442 Bottom trawling using a GOV trawl was carried out before or after water sampling. The catch was sorted by species and catches in numbers and weight were recorded. No blackspot seabream individuals were caught.   Data content: * ddPCR/: contains the ddPCR counts and DNA concentrations for each sample and species. * SampleInfo/: contains the filter volume for each eDNA sample. * StationInfo/: contains metadata related to the data collected in the field for each filter. * Metabarcoding/: contains metabarcoding results for teleoprimer. * Trawldata/: contains catch data in numbers and weight (kg).

This visualization product displays the density of floating micro-litter per net normalized in grams per km² per year from specific protocols different from research and monitoring protocols. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Before 2021, there was no coordinated effort at the regional or European scale for micro-litter. Given this situation, EMODnet Chemistry proposed to adopt the data gathering and data management approach as generally applied for marine data, i.e., populating metadata and data in the CDI Data Discovery and Access service using dedicated SeaDataNet data transport formats. EMODnet Chemistry is currently the official EU collector of micro-litter data from Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) National Monitoring activities (descriptor 10). A series of specific standard vocabularies or standard terms related to micro-litter have been added to SeaDataNet NVS (NERC Vocabulary Server) Common Vocabularies to describe the micro-litter. European micro-litter data are collected by the National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODCs). Micro-litter map products are generated from NODCs data after a test of the aggregated collection including data and data format checks and data harmonization. A filter is applied to represent only micro-litter sampled according to a very specific protocol such as the Volvo Ocean Race (VOR) or Oceaneye. Densities were calculated for each net using the following calculation: Density (weight of particles per km²) = Micro-litter weight / (Sampling effort (km) * Net opening (cm) * 0.00001) When the weight of microlitters or the net opening was not filled, it was not possible to calculate the density. Percentiles 50, 75, 95 & 99 have been calculated taking into account data for all years. Warning: the absence of data on the map does not necessarily mean that they do not exist, but that no information has been entered in the National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) for this area.

This visualization product displays the density of seafloor litter per trawl. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Since the beginning of 2018, data of seafloor litter collected by international fish-trawl surveys have been gathered and processed in the EMODnet Chemistry Marine Litter Database (MLDB). The harmonization of all the data has been the most challenging task considering the heterogeneity of the data sources, sampling protocols (OSPAR and MEDITS protocols) and reference lists used on a European scale. Moreover, within the same protocol, different gear types are deployed during bottom trawl surveys. In cases where the wingspread and/or the number of items were/was unknown, it was not possible to use the data because these fields are needed to calculate the density. Data collected before 2011 are concerned by this filter. When the distance reported in the data was null, it was calculated from: - the ground speed and the haul duration using the following formula: Distance (km) = Haul duration (h) * Ground speed (km/h); - the trawl coordinates if the ground speed and the haul duration were not filled in. The swept area was calculated from the wingspread (which depends on the fishing gear type) and the distance trawled: Swept area (km²) = Distance (km) * Wingspread (km) Densities were calculated on each trawl and year using the following computation: Density (number of items per km²) = ∑Number of items / Swept area (km²) Percentiles 50, 75, 95 & 99 were calculated taking into account data for all years. More information on data processing and calculation are detailed in the attached document. Warning: the absence of data on the map does not necessarily mean that they do not exist, but that no information has been entered in the Marine Litter Database for this area.

The ICES Working Group on Fisheries Benthic Impact and Trade-offs (WGFBIT) has developed an assessment framework based on the life history trait longevity, to evaluate the benthic impact of fisheries at the regional scale. In order to apply this framework to the Mediterranean sea, several Mediterranean longevity databases were merged together with existing North-East Atlantic ones to develop a common database. Longevity was fuzzy coded into four longevity classes: <1, 1-3, 3-10 and >10 years. Both benthic mega and macrofauna organisms are included in this dataset. Further details about both the purpose and the methodology may be found in ICES (2022) and Cuyvers et al. (2023). The result of the final dataset merging is one dataset containing the fuzzy coded average longevity (and standard deviation) for 2264 taxa and for each, the number of databases used. 

The present repository makes available the model, material and outputs of the ISIS-Fish modeling work showcased in the peer-reviewed scientific article by Bastardie et al. 2025. As part of the SEAwise research project (seawiseproject.org), we used an ISIS-Fish database (Mahevas et al 2003, Pelletier et al. 2009, isis-fish.org) previously developed within the MACCO project which describes the mixed demersal fishery in the Bay of Biscay. For this application, the spatial extent of the fishery is the Bay of Biscay, defined here by ICES divisions 8a, 8b and 8d and the resolution chosen is 1/16 ICES statistical rectangle. The biological module (Vajas et al. 2024) includes 7 species of economic interest in the mixed demersal fishery: European hake (Merluccius merluccius), common sole (Solea solea), Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus), megrim (Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis), anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius) and two ray species (Raja clavata, Leucoraja naevus). The fishing activities module (Mahevas et al. 2024) is made up of 41 demersal fleets (including all French vessels < 12 meters and > 12 meters fishing in this area, Spanich, UK and Belgium fleets) and 431 métiers (combination of a gear, location and mix of target species) catching these 7 species, as target or bycatch. Monthly effort of a fleet distributes among the possible métiers (those historically practiced). The biological and fishing activity modules are identical to the published version. The original model used here has been calibrated on historical catch data 2015-2018 by tuning accessibility and catchability parameters. In the present application the Bay of Biscay model is used to investigate the spatial- and effort- based fisheries management strategies. Consistently with for a task of the SEAwise project (Bastardie et al. 2024) simulations were conducted from 2021 onwards, projecting the effect of an implementation of 3 different closures from 2022 to 2050, under current fishing effort conditions or in a context of fishing effort reduction. Outcomes of these simulations are averaged over short/medium (10 year horizon) and long-term period (20 year horizon). The data project includes: 1) the database including the biological module and fishing activity module; 2) 8 .properties files, each corresponding to one combination of management measure and closure, to restore the simulations parameters in the ISIS-Fish interface and reproduce the simulation runs; 3) the .java scripts to force effort dynamics and simulate spatio-temporal closures, as well as generate the main output files - they will be called by the ISIS-Fish software once the simulations restored 4) the .rds containing the main outputs of the simulations and the associated .html document displaying the R code to compute the indices of interest at different levels of aggregation and reproduce the figures in Bastardie et al. 2025. All files are provided in the Zip. Associated with this material, a study summary and a readme .docx are provided. The first one provides context on the present work and describes the model and simulations' design. The second provides guidelines to reproduce the simulations and their derived outcomes from the data project material made available in this repository. They are both directly downloadable from this repository and are also copied to the zipped folder containing the data project. All the data are reproducible using isis-fish-4.4.8.1 (isis-fish.org; available at forge.codelutin.com) and R 4.2.0.

EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry datasets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity and contaminants. The importance of the selected substances and other parameters relates to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on eutrophication and acidity, and covers the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas. Data were aggregated and quality controlled by 'Aarhus University, Department of Bioscience, Marine Ecology Roskilde' in Denmark. ITS-90 water temperature and water body salinity variables have also been included ('as are') to complete the eutrophication and acidity data. If you use these variables for calculations, please refer to SeaDataNet for the quality flags: https://www.seadatanet.org/Products/Aggregated-datasets . Regional datasets concerning eutrophication and acidity are automatically harvested, and the resulting collections are aggregated and quality controlled using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all sea regions ( https://doi.org/10.13120/8xm0-5m67 ). Parameter names are based on P35 vocabulary, which relates to EMODnet Chemistry aggregated parameter names and is available at: https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/search_nvs/P35/ . When not present in original data, water body nitrate plus nitrite was calculated by summing all nitrate and nitrite parameters. The same procedure was applied for water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), which was calculated by summing all nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium parameters. Concentrations per unit mass were converted to a unit volume using a constant density of 1.025 kg/L. The aggregated dataset can also be downloaded as an ODV collection and spreadsheet, which is composed of a metadata header followed by tab separated values. This spreadsheet can be imported to ODV Software for visualisation (more information can be found at: https://www.seadatanet.org/Software/ODV ).
