The Finnish Marine Research Infrastructure (FINMARI) combines all major partners (SYKE, FMI, GTK, Luke, Universities of Helsinki, Turku and Åbo Akademi) of the Finnish marine research community. It is a distributed infrastructure network of field stations, research vessels, laboratory facilities, ferryboxes, fixed measurement platforms and buoys. FINMARI provides access to observational and experimental Finnish marine research facilities. Our joint infrastructure development plan is based on addressing the multiscale variability of the marine environment by integrating the complementary areas of research expertise of each partner. As FINMARI now advances to the implementation phase, this FIRI2021 project aims at filling the remaining gaps in the present research infrastructure as well as maturing digitalization and Open Access to data and services. FINMARI will concentrate on biodiversity loss and climate change research and will act as a link between science and policy makers.
