Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.
What each said, in their own words
Their opening passages on the files they share, verbatim and in filing order. We do not summarize, compare, or characterize positions — read them at source.
Response by EMBRC ERIC, EMSO ERIC, Euro-Argo ERIC & ICOS ERIC to the Call for Evidence for the Ocean Act Research Infrastructures (RI) form the backbone of Europes long-term, transnational ocean observation capacity.
The European Marine Board (EMB) strongly supports plans to improve coherence and effective implementation of maritime governance, particularly the reference to all Ocean-related targets in one instrument, and digitalised and standardised reporting and data formats to make Ocean data FAIR and open. Ocean observations are critical for understanding and managing EU waters considering the triple planetary crisis.
The Euro-Argo European Research Infrastructure Consortium (Euro-Argo ERIC https://www.euro-argo.eu/ ) welcomes the European Commission’s efforts to instigate better coordination within and between Member States , complemented by EU funding, to achieve a coherent approach to European ocean observation.
We welcome the European Commission’s efforts to centralise the information on what ocean variables are measured where, how often, and by whom. We also find the broad definition used for marine observation, including all survey and monitoring campaigns and sampling programmes currently conducted for different purposes (e.g. military, environmental and fisheries monitoring, research, navigation, etc.) beneficial.
