The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) is Greece’s leading public research organisation for marine and aquatic sciences, conducting multidisciplinary research across oceanography, marine biology, fisheries, aquaculture, biodiversity and environmental monitoring. Within the space ecosystem, HCMR is an important user and provider of Earth Observation–enabled services, combining satellite data with in-situ measurements, numerical modelling and marine information systems to monitor the Mediterranean and Greek seas. Its activities support applications such as ocean-state forecasting, coastal and marine environmental assessment, climate-change monitoring, ecosystem management, maritime safety and sustainable use of marine resources, making HCMR a key interface between space-based observations and operational marine science in Greece.
