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.
