Abstract | The Western Shelf Observatory aims to integrate programmes of sustained marine observing systems to improve knowledge and understanding of marine ecosystems and the connectivity between our shelf seas and the Atlantic Ocean. It will strengthen the evidence base for environmental assessments, underpin future research, increase uptake of marine data and information and address gaps in current marine monitoring, modelling and research.
