Pilot Assessment of Primary Productivity
Primary production sustains the functioning of marine food webs. Over the long-term (1997-2019) primary production was stable in the Greater North Sea, Celtic Seas and Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast. Significant decreases occurred between 2015 and 2019, likely driven by reduced nutrient availability and climate change, which may disturb higher trophic levels.
