41 CONCLUSIONS CNR-ISMAR collected huge amount of bathymetric data in the Central Mediterranean Sea in the framework on National and European projects. Bathymetric data processing and merging is one of the main challenge because of different data sources, systems, resolution and water depth CNR-ISMAR is able to make the bathymetric data available to the global community in the framework of EMODnet, following EMODnet QA/QC Standard Bathymetry is fundamental for many scientific issues and applications from oceanography to geology
