An integrated surveillance system for chronic and accidental marine po llution is proposed to improve decision making. This project, called A RCOBLEU, is based on organizing advanced communication and information tools and techniques in a multi-source / multi-user architecture.

Future extension to the W estern Mediterranean basin is already planned under the name of MED-AR COBLEU.
