T-MEDNet initiative is devoted to develop an observation network on climate change effects in marine coastal ecosystems by spreading the acquisition of standard monitoring protocols on seawater temperature and biological indicators over large-scale and long-term. 

T-MEDNet members are Public Research Institutions, Marine Protected Areas and NGOs working in near-shore and coastal zone around the Mediterranean Sea.

T-MEDNet resource platform is dedicated to:

• International cooperation for climate change monitoring in the highly vital, highly dynamic, coastal zone
• Share information, "know how" and expertise on warming signals and biological impacts
• Raise awareness, contribute to update data and information available for stakeholders, decision makers and the interested general public
• Sustain the development of adaptive management strategies to tackle with climate change impacts on marine biodiversity
