OC-UCY aims to expand their services and user base by defining and launching information services for mobile touch screen devices, starting with services in support of tourism and recreation. SeaMobile project will position the marine data and information services of OC-UCY as relevant and useful for the tourist and recreational sector in Cyprus (the economic sector of largest activity in Cyprus). It will provide insights about how to improve mobile oceanographic data services in Cyprus, including possibilities for expanding to the government and private sectors. Moreover it will give OC-UCY opportunities to bring their achievements forward to the EU and international operational oceanography community for adoption and further expansion through joint EU-funded projects
