Jelly. Systems and tools for locating jellyfishs and predicting their displacement towards the coast

In the last decade the presence of jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea is rising causing impacts on the marine environment and on human activities.
In order to mitigate this phenomenon a key strategy comprises the setting up of early warning and forecasting systems based on large scale observations and numerical model fields such as those available from the Copernicus products (EO and other data from the Marine Environment Monitoring Service).

The workshop aims to discuss the latest improvements in the detection, spreading and forecasting of jellyfish blooms and the different experiences on the use of Copernicus data in this field. 
It will be organized in two sessions: the first concerning the observation methods and the second concerning the occurrence and dispersal forecasting of jellyfish blooms.
