The objective of the MEDAR/MEDATLAS II project is to rescue, safeguard and make available a comprehensive data set of oceanographic parameters collected in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, through a wide cooperation of the Mediterranean and Black Sea countries.
It aims to contribute to increase the use of the data collected within the scientific programmes, to enhance exchange of information and data between projects and to improve the overall level of data quality, especially for handling oxygen and nutrients data.
It is an European MAST/INCO concerted action and a regional contribution to UNESCO/IOC's Global Ocean Data Archeology and Rescue (GODAR) project.

The MEDAR/MEDATLAS-II project involves a group of 20 Partners.
