Newsletter posts

Discover the stories that show just how central integrating biodiversity data into digital ocean systems has become — from unlocking dormant datasets and catching invasive species earlier through eDNA, to matchmaking events that put our tools directly into the hands of the people who can use them, and demonstrator use cases like DUC6 that show what's possible when biodiversity monitoring and decision-making are connected.

This story is part of the DTO-BioFlow Stories series, where we explore how biodiversity data flows are being tested in practice within the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. In each edition, we will focus on a different challenge and show how connected data, tools, and users come together in real project activities.

Happy holidays! We sincerely thank the DTO-BioFlow community for your collaboration in advancing marine biodiversity data for Europe’s Digital Twin of the Ocean.

Explore the DTO-BioFlow publications—technical factsheets, practical guidance for data holders, use cases, research articles, conference contributions, and key project deliverables—and discover how biodiversity data is powering actionable knowledge for science, policy, and society.

How does biodiversity data move from collection to real-world impact? This issue explores how DTO-BioFlow is making that journey possible, featuring highlights from the Digital Ocean Forum 2025, progress across demonstrator use cases, and the newly selected Second Open Call winners shaping what comes next.

Meet the winners of the second open call, and catch up on the training with the full slide deck now available. Explore DTO-BioFlow resources: the Barriers Playbook (first release), Pamphlet for Data Holders, and DataFlow Blueprint.

What happens when marine biodiversity data starts to work together instead of sitting in separate silos? With this series, DTO-BioFlow takes a closer look at how our work plays out in practice, highlighting real-world applications, solutions, and tangible impact.

In each edition of this Use Case Newsletter, we will zoom in on a concrete policy-relevant challenge and show how connected data, when properly structured and interpreted, can move from abstract information to actionable knowledge. 

Welcome back to the DTO-BioFlow Newsletter! We’re kicking off this edition with some important news: the Second Call for Marine Biodiversity Data Contributions is now open!  If you’re part of a research institute, university, NGO, or citizen science network working with marine biodiversity data, this is your chance to contribute to the European Digital Twin of the Ocean and receive up to 60,000€ in funding.

Welcome to the first edition of the DTO-BioFlow LinkedIn newsletter!
