  abstract = {{F}ronts are ubiquitous discrete features of the global ocean often associated with enhanced vertical velocities, in turn boosting primary production. {F}ronts thus form dynamical and ephemeral ecosystems where numerous species meet across all trophic levels. {F}ronts are also targeted by fisheries. {C}apturing ocean fronts and studying their long-term variability in relation with climate change is thus key for marine resource management and spatial planning. {T}he {M}editerranean {S}ea and the {S}outhwest {I}ndian {O}cean are natural laboratories to study front-marine life interactions due to their energetic flow at sub-to-mesoscales, high biodiversity (including endemic and endangered species) and numerous conservation initiatives. {B}ased on remotely-sensed {S}ea {S}urface {T}emperature and {H}eight, we compute thermal fronts (2003-2020) and attracting {L}agrangian coherent structures (1994-2020), in both regions over several decades. {W}e advocate for the combined use of both thermal fronts and attracting {L}agrangian coherent structures to study front-marine life interactions. {T}he resulting front dataset differs from other alternatives by its high spatio-temporal resolution, long time coverage, and relevant thresholds defined for ecological provinces.},
