The project OASIS aims at describing the functioning characteristics of seamount ecosystems. OASIS' holistic approach to investigate seamount ecosystems integrates hydrographic, biogeochemical and biological information.

The scientific results, condensed in a conceptual ecosystem model, will be applied to outline a model management plan as well as site-specific management plans for the seamounts investigated.
