Since 2014, SEATRACK has expanded its spatial range twice: first in 2019 with the launch of Phase II, and again in 2023 with the commencement of Phase III.
This expansion included several new species and forged numerous exciting partnerships. We grew our scientific collaborators from 32 partners in 5 countries to 69 partners across 14 countries by 2023.
The immense logistical challenge of annual data collection at over 75 North Atlantic field sites would be impossible without the significant time and funding contributions from our partners. Their enthusiasm and ongoing efforts are crucial to SEATRACK’s success, driving synergy effects and inspiring follow-up projects.
