- European marine omics biodiversity observation network: a strategic outline for the implementation of omics approaches in ocean observationPublication . Santi, Ioulia; Beluche, Odette; Beraud, Mélanie; Buttigieg, Pier Luigi; Casotti, Raffaella; Cox, Cymon J.; Cunliffe, Michael; Davies, Neil; de Cerio, Oihane Diaz; Exter, Katrina; Kervella, Anne Emmanuelle; Kotoulas, Georgios; Lagaisse, Rune; Laroquette, Arnaud; Louro, Bruno; Not, Fabrice; Obst, Matthias; Pavloudi, Christina; Poulain, Julie; Præbel, Kim; Vanaverbeke, Jan; Pade, NicolasMarine ecosystems, ranging from coastal seas and wetlands to the open ocean, accommodate a wealth of biological diversity from small microorganisms to large mammals. This biodiversity and its associated ecosystem function occurs across complex spatial and temporal scales and is not yet fully understood. Given the wide range of external pressures on the marine environment, this knowledge is crucial for enabling effective conservation measures and defining the limits of sustainable use. The development and application of omics-based approaches to biodiversity research has helped overcome hurdles, such as allowing the previously hidden community of microbial life to be identified, thereby enabling a holistic view of an entire ecosystem's biodiversity and functioning. The potential of omics-based approaches for marine ecosystems observation is enormous and their added value to ecosystem monitoring, management, and conservation is widely acknowledged. Despite these encouraging prospects, most omics-based studies are short-termed and typically cover only small spatial scales which therefore fail to include the full spatio-temporal complexity and dynamics of the system. To date, few attempts have been made to establish standardised, coordinated, broad scaled, and long-term omics observation networks. Here we outline the creation of an omics-based marine observation network at the European scale, the European Marine Omics Biodiversity Observation Network (EMO BON). We illustrate how linking multiple existing individual observation efforts increases the observational power in large-scale assessments of status and change in biodiversity in the oceans. Such large-scale observation efforts have the added value of cross-border cooperation, are characterised by shared costs through economies of scale, and produce structured, comparable data. The key components required to compile reference environmental datasets and how these should be linked are major challenges that we address.

Environmental samples are collected from the water column and, at some sites, soft sediments and hard substrates (Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures- ARMS), together with a set of mandatory and discretionary metadata (including Essential Ocean Variables- EOVs). Samples are collected following standardised protocols at regular and specified intervals and sequenced in large six-monthly batches at a centralised sequencing facility. The use of standard operating procedures (SOPs) during data collection, library preparation and sequencing aims to provide uniformity amongstthe data collected from the sites. Coupled with strict adherence to open and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles, this ensures maximum comparability amongst samples and enhances reusability and interoperability of the data with other data sources. The observatory networkwas launched in June 2021, when the first sampling campaign took place.
- Priorities for ocean microbiome researchPublication . Abreu, Andre; Bourgois, Etienne; Gristwood, Adam; Troublé, Romain; Acinas, Silvia G.; Bork, Peer; Boss, Emmanuel; Bowler, Chris; Budinich, Marko; Chaffron, Samuel; de Vargas, Colomban; Delmont, Tom O.; Eveillard, Damien; Guidi, Lionel; Iudicone, Daniele; Kandels, Stephanie; Morlon, Hélène; Lombard, Fabien; Pepperkok, Rainer; Karlusich, Juan José Pierella; Piganeau, Gwenael; Régimbeau, Antoine; Sommeria-Klein, Guilhem; Stemmann, Lars; Sullivan, Matthew B.; Sunagawa, Shinichi; Wincker, Patrick; Zablocki, Olivier; Arendt, Detlev; Bilic, Josipa; Finn, Robert; Heard, Edith; Rouse, Brendan; Vamathevan, Jessica; Casotti, Raffaella; Cancio, Ibon; Cunliffe, Michael; Kervella, Anne Emmanuelle; Kooistra, Wiebe H. C. F.; Obst, Matthias; Pade, Nicolas; Power, Deborah; Santi, Ioulia; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Vanaverbeke, JanStudying the ocean microbiome can inform international policies related to ocean governance, tackling climate change, ocean acidification and pollution, and can help promote achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals. Microbial communities have essential roles in ocean ecology and planetary health. Microbes participate in nutrient cycles, remove huge quantities of carbon dioxide from the air and support ocean food webs. The taxonomic and functional diversity of the global ocean microbiome has been revealed by technological advances in sampling, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics. A better understanding of the ocean microbiome could underpin strategies to address environmental and societal challenges, including achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals way beyond SDG 14 'life below water'. We propose a set of priorities for understanding and protecting the ocean microbiome, which include delineating interactions between microbiota, sustainably applying resources from oceanic microorganisms and creating policy- and funder-friendly ocean education resources, and discuss how to achieve these ambitious goals.
