Correction to: npj Ocean Sustainability https://doi.org/10.1038/s44183-023-00023-9, published online 09 October 2023
The original version of the published article contained an error in the paragraph in which modifications were made.
Correction: However, despite the increasing and transdisciplinary potential of DTs, they have received little attention in scientific and technological discussions for ocean sustainability, and accordingly, their potential has remained underutilized. In our opinion, one notable and prospective project, entitled the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO), stands out as a fully-fledged and operational DT. Insufficiently funded, the European DTO is also, naturally, a Euro-centric endeavor, with scientific and technical development budgets secured in Horizon Europe funding mechanisms limiting its transformative potential (see Box 1).
