Ocean data management and processing  Marine information systems  Marine data modelling  Operational oceanography  Intelligent technologies for marine environmental applications  Methods for maritime environment monitoring  Smart technologies applied in operational maritime environment  Demonstration of improved marine observing systems  Smart integration of systems and platforms for maritime observations 

With the intention of extending knowledge about the ocean and the maritime environment, this Special Issue focuses on all the many intelligent systems and applications that, through technologies integrated on observational platforms, can provide tools and services for increasing the availability of data regarding all ocean environmental variables. Among the already existing platforms and technologies for ocean observation, this Special Issue aims to expand the possible application of intelligent systems and tools that operate in this context. Contributions can vary from tools for automatic collection and dispatching of information to systems for management and processing of environmental data through to methods applied to new or well-established technologies for performing consistent and standardised intelligent processing of collected data. The intended coverage for this Special Issue concerns systems, applications, and models that aim to improve the current observation tools and services and expand the availability of data in terms of higher spatial resolution, temporal regularity, and length than what is currently available at the European scale. The Special Issue also aims to democratise monitoring of the marine environment for traditional and non-traditional data users such as citizen scientists. All articles from academia, the industry, or environmental stakeholders are welcome.
