MARBEFES is a four-year EU-funded project (Sep 2022 – Aug 2026) aiming to bring together 23 research institutes from 15 European countries to evaluate and characterise the links between marine biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services and the resulting society goods and benefits in coastal communities. The surveys are held across all study areas in a series of Broad Belt Transects from the Arctic, through the brackish Baltic, the marine North Sea coasts and Atlantic, to the subtropical Mediterranean.
