AIS for Prioritizing Arctic Charting - Alaska Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 2749)
AIS for Prioritizing Arctic Charting - Alaska Ocean Observing System
Since 2004, larger commercial vessels engaged in international trade have been required to be equipped with transponders that transmit information about the vessel several times a minute to other vessels and to shore-based Automated Information Systems (AIS) receiving stations within range. The information provided by these transponders is transmitted several times a minute and includes, but is not limited to, the name and type of vessel, dimensions, including the length, draft, beam and gross tonnage, course, speed and other information. This tracking technology has provided historical records of vessels’ transits to assist NOAA and the Coast Guard in identifying where vessels are currently navigating in specific areas, and this information used to establish safe, accurately surveyed corridors in an effort to minimize vessel groundings and the associated maritime safety and environmental impacts.

AK Marine Highway System CO2 Monitoring- Alaska Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 2770)
AK Marine Highway System CO2 Monitoring- Alaska Ocean Observing System
This project uses the Alaska Marine Highway Service ferry M/V Columbia to track carbon system conditions and variability along the Southeast Alaska and British Columbia coasts. The Columbia operates weekly from Bellingham, WA to Skagway, AK* – a round trip of 1,854 miles – and represents the most spatially expansive ferry-based OA installation in North America.
Onboard, the temperature, salinity, pCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide) and dissolved oxygen of the seawater are measured every 3 minutes using a General Oceanics 8050 pCO2 Measuring System. In addition to the surface seawater data, atmospheric pCO2 is measured from an air intake on the foredeck. The combination of these core measurements, combined with an alkalinity – salinity relationship built from data collected largely using AOOS funding on previous work, will allow tracking of the surface water saturation states of aragonite and calcite, as well as pH and the other CO2 system parameters along the ferry’s transit path.
The project’s mission is to understand present-day conditions with respect to ocean acidification, how levels change seasonally, and where there are hot spots or refugia from corrosive waters. This basic information is important for management of marine resources, and when collected over a long enough time, allows scientists to estimate the rate at which ocean acidification is occurring in near-shore Alaskan waters.

Alaska Blob Tracker - Alaska Ocean Observing System
There is a lot of talk about this thing called the Pacific Blob, which refers to a large pool of unusually warm water off the West Coast in the United States and Canada, reaching as far north as the Gulf of Alaska. The region where sea surface temperatures are higher than normal (anomalies) has been termed the “Blob.” The anomalies are an actual measure of the difference in mean sea surface temperature for a given month from the multi-year mean for that same month at a particular location in the ocean.
The purpose of this blog is to provide information about this interesting oceanic feature and the Blob’s realized and potential effects on Alaska in particular. We hope to provide an avenue for those working in the region to share their observations.

The Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) is one of 13 regional systems across the US coast that represent NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), a national-regional partnership working to use ocean data and information products in innovative ways to improve maritime safety, enhance the economy, and protect our environment. The data is available in real time, near-real time, or retrospectively. Easier and better access to this information is improving our ability to understand and predict coastal events such as storms, wave heights, sea levels, and ecosystem change. Such knowledge is needed for everything from blue economy businesses such as commercial fishing and aquaculture to subsistence use to coastal planning.

Animal Telemetry Network - Integrated Ocean Observing System
Gathering information on the behavior and movement of marine animals is an essential part of the responsibilities of our national agencies charged with protecting endangered and threatened marine species as well as providing ecosystem-based management of commercially harvested marine resources. This data and information, collected remotely via acoustic and satellite telemetry techniques, assists specifically with implementing the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Fur Seal Act, performing National Environmental Policy Act analyses, providing Incidental Harassment Authorizations and conducting Section 7 Interagency Consultations.
The data is applied broadly to assess marine animal habitat use, detect changes in their migratory routes in relation to oil & gas activities and climate variability, monitor changing movement patterns with increasing ship traffic to assist with marine mammal avoidance and improve abundance/population estimates to ensure both the conservation and sustainable management of commercially harvested species as well as responsibly sustained subsistence livelihoods.
The multi-agency U.S. Animal Telemetry Network (ATN) has been established to provide unity, stability and continuity to the national infrastructure that facilitates the collection, management and availability of this marine animal telemetry data. To accomplish its mission, the ATN is being implemented in three Phases and on these three foundational pillars: 1) Building Alliances and Collaborations, 2) Providing Telemetry Data Aggregation, Management, Display and Delivery, and 3) Funding High Priority Regional Baseline Animal Telemetry Observations.

Aquacosm Project
EU network of mesocosms facilities for research on marine and freshwater ecosystems open for global collaboration.
Rivers, lakes, estuaries and the open ocean are connected and it’s becoming evident that ecosystem processes act on many scales, including global. Despite this, aquatic research is still divided in marine and freshwater sciences, with separate funding sources, and experimental science is often conducted at single sites without international coordination. To challenge these problems, the FvB-IGB-lead project AQUACOSM is funded by the first international call (EU H2020-INFRAIA) to coordinate research, develop common best practices and open both freshwater and marine large-scale research infrastructures (mesocosms) for international cross-discipline participation.

The team, led by Dr. Katrin Iken of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, has been underway since 2015 and has a goal of documenting all species of this Arctic ecosystem from microbes to whales. Why? Because the Arctic Ocean influences global climate and connecting the water column and bottom-dwelling organisms that drive a complex food web is fundamental to understanding ecosystem processes. Dramatic temperature increases and seasonal ice loss are leading to significant changes in the structure of marine ecosystems and how they function. Chukchi Sea water masses, part of an expansive, shallow continental shelf system, support abundant primary production and diverse animal communities—on the seafloor, in the water column and at the interface of the air and ocean where world-class populations of millions of seabirds feed.

Arctic Ocean Diversity
Arctic Ocean Biodiversity is a Census of Marine Life project aimed at coordinating research efforts examining the diversity in each of the three major realms: sea ice, water column and sea floor, including fish, mammals & birds. This program will consolidate what is known and fill remaining gaps in our knowledge: it leads the Arctic Ocean diversity cluster within the International Polar Year.
The Arctic Ocean is unique. It is the most extreme ocean in regard to the seasonality of light and its year-round existing ice cover. Arctic seas hold a multitude of unique life forms highly adapted in their life history, ecology and physiology to the extreme and seasonal conditions of this environment. Knowledge of what lives in the Arctic Ocean is limited due to the logistical challenges imposed by its multiyear ice and inhospitable climate.
The Arctic Ocean is the region where the impacts of climate change are strongest expressed. On-going climate warming and reduction in sea ice makes the effort to identify the diversity of its life an urgent issue. Species level information is essential to discussions on climate change or human impact. These effects can only be detected through long-term monitoring of key species, communities and processes. The availability of solid baseline data is crucial.

Arctic Oil Spill Assessment - Alaska Ocean Observing System
This project integrated data products describing vessel traffic patterns, estimated oil spill impacts, and subsistence use data from the communities of Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Nuiqsut, and Kaktovik along the Beaufort Sea coast, and incorporated them into a unique tool for planners and subsistence community members. Spatial heat maps of vessel traffic density were developed by analyzing Automated Identification System (AIS) data from the Marine Exchange of Alaska and NOAA to isolate marine vessel corridors experiencing the heaviest traffic. Investigators ran over 100,000 oil spill trajectory scenarios powered by ocean circulation and atmospheric wind models initialized at locations and times corresponding with historical vessel traffic. Spill trajectory results were summarized to produce a spill impact density map for the Beaufort Sea. Subsistence use patterns were produced by aggregating individual subsistence mapping, harvest, and other socio-economic surveys from the Alaska Beaufort Sea communities of Utqiaġvik, Nuiqsut, and Kaktovik. These previously unavailable subsistence datasets include species descriptions, timing and area for targeted species, and other traditional ecological variables for each community. The subsistence mapping and species distribution data were compared to the spill impact density maps to estimate how different subsistence activities and their relative timing could be impacted in the event of a spill. The data gathered and synthesized through this project are now publicly accessible through an interactive web-based mapping tool as a mechanism for increasing public, private sector, government, and community knowledge about possible spill effects to subsistence uses in the US Arctic.

Study of the influence of physical, chemical and biological conditions in the damage and protection of Underwater Historical Heritage CTM2009-08668 and CTM2010-1636.
The ARQUEOMONITOR Project, supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and FEDER (CTM2009-08668 and CTM2010-16363) studied in what grade, the generation, conservation or degradation of archaeological sites are influenced by marine environmental variables, employing two wrecks of the same chronology subjected to very different environmental conditions, Fougueux and Bucentaure (1805).
In order to correlate the conservation status achieved at each site with the local marine environmental conditions we have studied the main physical, chemical and biological factors that can impact on the shipwreck materials. Also, modern samples of the materials usually found in these shipwrecks have been disposed at each site, and their evolution over time has been studied, preventing thus the alteration of archaeological remains. The results obtained allowed to develop new in situ methods for protection of deposits and its elements, and develop predictive models of permanence through knowledge of materials and analysis of risk factors imposed by the marine environment.
By combining the major milestones of the project (environmental monitoring, degradation studies and methods of safeguarding) it has been developed a standardized Archaeological Management Plan which compares sites through the establishment of similarities and differences.
Now, the results are being dumped into a Data Portal, which will facilitate access to the information for researchers from different areas of knowledge involved in the management of the Archaeological underwater heritage who try to predict short-term potential threats on deposits.

AtlantOS project
AtlantOS was a BG 8 (Developing in-situ Atlantic Ocean Observations for a better management and sustainable exploitation of the maritime resources) research and innovation project that proposes the integration of ocean observing activities across all disciplines for the Atlantic, considering European as well as non-European partners.
The vision of AtlantOS was to improve and innovate Atlantic observing by using the Framework of Ocean Observing to obtain an international, more sustainable, more efficient, more integrated, and fit-for-purpose system. Hence, the AtlantOS initiative has a long-lasting and sustainable contribution to the societal, economic and scientific benefit arising from this integrated approach. This was achieved by improving the value for money, extent, completeness, quality and ease of access to Atlantic Ocean data required by industries, product supplying agencies, scientist and citizens.
The overarching target of the AtlantOS initiative was to deliver an advanced framework for the development of an integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing System that goes beyond the state-of–the-art, and leaves a legacy of sustainability after the life of the project (see AtlantOS High-Level Strategy and find out more about the AtlantOS program).
The legacy derived from the AtlantOS aims:
- to improve international collaboration in the design, implementation and benefit sharing of ocean observing,
- to promote engagement and innovation in all aspects of ocean observing,
- to facilitate free and open access to ocean data and information,
- to enable and disseminate methods of achieving quality and authority of ocean information,
- to strengthen the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and to sustain observing systems that are critical for the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service and its applications and,
- to contribute to the aims of the Galway Statement on Atlantic Ocean Cooperation.
The project was organized along work packages on: i) observing system requirements and design studies, ii) enhancement of ship-based and autonomous observing networks, iii) interfaces with coastal ocean observing systems, iv) integration of regional observing systems, v) cross-cutting issues and emerging networks, vi) data flow and data integration, vii) societal benefits from observing /information systems, viii) system evaluation and resource sustainability. Engagement with wider stakeholders including end-users of Atlantic Ocean observation products and services was also key throughout the project.
The AtlantOS initiative contributed to achieving the aims of the Galway Statement on Atlantic Ocean Cooperation that was signed in 2013 by the EU, Canada and the US, launching a Transatlantic Ocean Research Alliance to enhance collaboration to better understand the Atlantic Ocean and sustainably manage and use its resources.

The deep sea is the last frontier on Earth. Yet at a time of unprecedented global change this frontier is under increasing pressure from human activities. Between 2016 and 2020 the ATLAS project worked across the North Atlantic to improve our understanding of complex deep-sea ecosystems in a changing ocean. ATLAS assembled the interdisciplinary expertise spanning social and natural sciences, environmental economics, policy and governance needed not only to develop new knowledge but to bring this straight to those shaping ocean policies at national, regional and international levels. The work of ATLAS continues through the H2020 iAtlantic Project (2019-23).

AusSeaBed
AusSeabed is a national seabed mapping coordination program. The program aims to serve the Australian community that relies on seabed data by coordinating collection efforts in Australian waters and improving data access. The AusSeabed program is a national collaborative initiative led by Geoscience Australia, but operated by Commonwealth, State and Territory entities, universities and industry; it is open to all interested parties. In the spirit of "collect once, use many times", AusSeabed provides an open collaboration space where data creators and users can better connect to develop initiatives and products that will improve the quality, discoverability and accessibility of seabed mapping data. More specifically, AusSeabed is:
- promoting collaboration and innovation by stakeholders,
- enabling stakeholders to leverage Australia's swath mapping expertise and capabilities,
- utilising national resources and efforts to fully map the Australian seabed,
- identifying areas where new data is needed most,
- reducing pre-survey planning time for stakeholders,
- encouraging better standards of seabed data acquisition,
- increasing data use while minimising access costs and time,
- building expertise in the marine community in the planning and acquisition of seabed mapping data,
- contributing to better management of the Australian marine jurisdiction through - provision of information and data to support informed decisions.
AusSeabed is initially focussing on bathymetry (sea floor topography) which is an essential dataset meeting a range of applications. However, the long term goal is to establish the program as a collaboration space for all seabed and sub-seabed data types including sub-bottom profiles, seabed samples, backscatter etc.

Australia Ocean Biodiversity Information System
The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) is an international federation of organisations and people sharing a vision to make marine biodiversity data, from all over the world, freely available. It functions as a provider of global geo-referenced information on marine species. It provides a single entry point to query expert databases on species and habitats and provides a variety of tools for visualising relationships between marine species and their environment. OBIS was also the information component of the Census of Marine Life Program.
OBIS Australia seeks to advance the goals of OBIS in the Australian region, as one of a growing network of Regional OBIS Nodes. Specifically, the aims of OBIS Australia are:

Australia Ocean Biodiversity Information System (ODIS id 2201)
The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) is an international federation of organisations and people sharing a vision to make marine biodiversity data, from all over the world, freely available. It functions as a provider of global geo-referenced information on marine species. It provides a single entry point to query expert databases on species and habitats and provides a variety of tools for visualising relationships between marine species and their environment. OBIS was also the information component of the Census of Marine Life Program.
OBIS Australia seeks to advance the goals of OBIS in the Australian region, as one of a growing network of Regional OBIS Nodes. Specifically, the aims of OBIS Australia are:
to encourage the sharing of marine species data from the Australian region into the OBIS international data network
to enable users to search for marine data from the international OBIS network users.

Baltic Operational Oceanographic System
The BOOS (Baltic Operational Oceanographic System) co-operation was formed in 1997 with the aim to promote and develop an operational oceanographic infrastructure including routine collection, interpretation and presentation of in situ and satellite data. This information is necessary in order to improve efficiency of marine operations, reduce risks for accidents, optimise monitoring of marine
environment and climate, improve assessment of fish stocks and improve foundation of public
marine management.
The BOOS Vision 2015 intends to carry on existing concepts and ideas formulated in the
BOOS Plan covering the period 1999 up to 2003 and in the BOOS Strategy Plan for 2004 –
2010 but at the same time guide and develop the daily work of BOOS, taking into account the
changes taking place in Europe and in particular in the Baltic region.
The implementation of the EC GMES core services in several sectors and presently financed
by EC (FP7) is the overarching change in the marine sector. The marine core service
implementation plan is the guiding document, while the MyOcean R&D project is building
the prototype marine infrastructure. In addition the Maritime Policy in situ data programme
EMODNET is another important operational activity at European level to take into account
for BOOS.
In the Baltic area the implementation of the Baltic Sea Regional Strategy and its
environmental pillar the Marine Strategy Framework Directive is ongoing. Furthermore,
marine spatial planning is a new concept introduced to support sustained and secure
exploitation of marine resources. The Baltic Sea Action Plan is launched by the HELCOM
member countries to combat eutrophication, ship emissions and oil spills to name a few of the
actions planned. While, climate change and society adaptation to these changes is a future
need, detailed basic information is wanted for decision making at local as well as at regional
scales.
Not the least to be aware of is the ecosystem approach, becoming the overarching formula for
activities and plans. The principle means that mankind and society activities play a key role in
influencing the ecosystem and we need to incorporate these factors in the operational
oceanographic system in the future.

Beach Erosion and Inundation - Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 2550)
Beach Erosion and Inundation - Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System
Coastal inundation on the U.S. West Coast is often caused by the co-occurrence of high tides and energetic ocean waves. During storms, wave run-up can reach several meters above the tide level. Existing simple inundation models yield qualitative general information but not the information most valuable for issuing site-specific warnings for highway closures and sand-bagging. Quantitative inundation observations are critically needed to improve model accuracy. With rising sea levels and El Niño winters, it is crucial that a West Coast inundation model be developed for future safety and protection of coastal communities.

Biogeochemical-Argo aims at developing a global network of biogeochemical sensors on Argo profiling floats. The concept of global robotic biogeochemical measurements was articulated in a Community White Paper (Gruber et al., 2007) that was supported by the International Ocean Carbon Coordinating Project (IOCCP) and the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program (US-OCB). This was followed by a Scoping Workshop funded by the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program (Johnson et al., 2009) and an International Ocean Color Coordinating Group (IOCCG) supported working group (IOCCG, 2011). Extensive discussions were held at the OceanObs 09 meeting and were subsequently reported into two community White Papers (Gruber et al., 2010; Claustre et al., 2010).
Recommendations from these meetings were for the implementation of integrated deployments of larger numbers of profiling floats with biogeochemical sensors to demonstrate the feasibility of operating biogeochemical arrays. Following these reports, a variety of regional arrays have been developed with great success. In parallel with these regional efforts, great strides have been made in sensor operation and calibration. This prior work demonstrates the feasibility of operating a global system in order to address fundamental science questions and needs for ocean resource management.
These efforts culminated in a workshop that was held from 11 to 13 January 2016 at the Laboratoire d’Oceanographie de Villefranche (France). The scientific and implementation plan of Biogeochemical-Argo plan was subsequently prepared and open to discussion and inputs by community during summer 2016. With the finalization of this document we now are entering into the exciting and challenging part of the program development.

Burke-o-lators - Alaska Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 2772)
AOOS contributes to the maintenance of four Burke-o-Lators, located at coastal sites around the Gulf of Alaska. A Burke-o-Lator is a system of sensors that measures a suite of carbon chemistry parameters critical to ocean acidification: pCO2, TCO2. temperature and salinity. Using these four parameters, the saturation state of aragonite and pH are determined in real-time. Aragonite is a form of calcium carbonate that is critical to shell formation, and the aragonite saturation stateprovides a unit of measurement for how favorable the water is to shell-building organisms.
Another unique feature of the Burke-o-Lators is they can be taken off “continuous” mode and used to analyze discrete samples taken other places. In addition to collecting time-series data, the Burke-o-Lators now process water samples collected on a weekly basis from over 20 communities across Alaska. This provides the opportunity to get a regional picture of conditions on a local level, as well as promote local engagement. This community monitoring effort for OA is unique in the U.S.

California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations - Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System
The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) was formed in 1949 to study the ecological aspects of the sardine population collapse off California.
Today, CalCOFI's focus has shifted to the study of the marine environment off the coast of California, the management of its living resources, and monitoring the indicators of El Nino and climate change. Quarterly cruises are conducted off southern & central California, collecting a suite of hydrographic and biological data on station and underway.

California Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Network
The California Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Network was formed after a workshop held in April 2008. Participants included the leading HAB researchers in California, and a wide variety of interests such as water quality management, shellfish management related to public health, animal rescue communities, universities, state and local agencies.
The Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Program collects weekly phytoplankton and water quality data at seven piers along the Central and Southern California coast. HABMAP provides timely updates on marine HAB events, and aids in understanding the timing, extent, and impact of these events on humans and the marine ecosystem.

CALYPSO South addresses the challenges of safer marine transportation, protection of human lives at sea, and safeguarding of marine and coastal resources from irreversible damages. It is a commitment to put technological advancement and scientific endeavour at the service of humanitarian responses, reducing risks in sea faring, and protecting the marine environment.
CALYPSO South follows the trail of the previous CALYPSO and CALYPSO Follow On initiatives, with the overall objectives of:
1. extending the CALYPSO HF radar network coverage to the western part of the Malta-Sicily Channel and the southern approaches to the Maltese archipelago,
2. developing new monitoring and forecasting tools,
3. delivering tailored operational downstream services to assist national responsible entities in their maritime security, rescue and emergency response commitments.
The expected changes comprise intelligent ICT support to responsible entities to limit intervention times and narrow down search areas.
Main outputs consist of weather stations for integrated port safety applications, additional HF radar stations to improve the coverage, quality and availability of data for targeted downstream services.
Beneficiary responsible entities include the Armed Forces of Malta, Transport Malta, Civil Protection Departments (of both Malta and Sicily), Italian Coast Guard, and Marina Militare Italiana. The resultant improved efficiency, range and reliability of their operations will enable superior security and safety at sea.
In CALYPSO SOUTH a synergistic approach between Maltese and Sicilian partners optimizes the transnational cooperation. A cross-border approach is required by the inherent and borderless characteristics of the topic. Indeed, the observed patterns of variability of sea currents and wind suggest that a hazard triggered in a site could threaten the counterpart site; moreover security at sea largely involves trans-boundary waters.
The project is a further building block towards the phased creation of permanent structures encompassing a comprehensive Marine Electronic Highway in the area.

Canary Islands Integrated Marine Data Repository
REDMIC (the Canary Islands Integrated Marine Data Repository, acronym in Spanish) is a permanent systematic system for the storage, safeguard and service of marine data, following the philosophy behind OpenData and OpenScience. It was specifically designed for the Canary Islands and, by extension, Macaronesia. However, it has been approached as a pilot project with the intention of reapplying it to other regions and, overtime, using it to manage a public repository as a registry for marine data.
REDMIC is different to others in that marine data of whatever kind (maritime transport, oceanography, biodiversity, fisheries, etc.) are introduced in an integrated manner in the same system of geographical information. Therefore, the effort to gather all data is only made once at the beginning, so they can be used and combined as often as necessary with the utmost speed. REDMIC is inspired by the following principles: Exploitability: facilitating the successive use of data. Generavity: storing data by maximising its potential of use.
Traceability: providing data related to how the original data were obtained and allowing the knowledge of its modifications.
Publicity: publicly funded system for the safeguard, harmonisation and service of data. Versality: allowing for its use as a general repository (all kinds of data) or as an institutional repository (limited to a sort of information or product).

Central Beaufort Sea Wave and Hydrodynamic Modeling Study - Alaska Ocean Observing System
There are seven primary goals for this project:
1. Through the development and use of a wave and a hydrodynamic model for the area encompassing Stefansson Sound and Foggy Island Bay and field measurements to validate the model outputs, assess the present day physical processes to include wind, waves, currents and sediment transport conditions.
2. Document the physical processes related to wave generation and dissipation through a combination of measured data and model results.
3. Document waves’ surface processes such as from white capping, the dissipation of waves due to bottom friction, and depth-induced wave breaking conditions.
4. Document the major causes of coastal erosion and timing of the major storm events; Include impacts from breaking waves and storm surge from longer periods of open water.
5. Document the waves, currents, and sediment dynamics from the potential construction and placement of man-made structures within the Foggy Island Bay area; related to offshore construction of a drilling island, burial and construction of a sub-seabed pipeline.
6. Produce a forty-year wind /wave hindcast reanalysis dataset (~1979–2019).
7. Forecast changes in wind-waves over a thirty-year time frame, starting with 2 years, 5 years, 10, 20 and then 30 years (~2019–2049).
This project is funded by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and is a joint effort between the University of Alaska Fairbanks, (UAF), the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal & Marine Geology Program, Pacific Coastal & Marine Science Center (PCMSC), the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and the AOOS data management contractor Axiom Data Science.

Chukchi Ecosystem Observatory - Alaska Ocean Observing System
Moored oceanographic observations are essential for understanding time-varying ocean processes under different environmental conditions. Wave, current, and other physical measurements allow assessment of co-variability in the light, chlorophyll, CDOM, nitrate, backscatter, particle size distribution, zooplankton and fish parameters. The objective of Chukchi Sea Ecosystem Observatory (Mooring) (referred to as the CEO) project is to maintain a multi-parameter, multi-instrument physical/biological/chemical/geological oceanographic mooring in the Northeast Chukchi Sea. The CEO is designed to aid management of subsistence resources and potential commercial fisheries by providing data valuable to an ecosystem-based approach to resource management. The CEO site is also well situated to monitor the state of ocean acidification, changes to shelf nutrient and carbon cycles, and how changing wind, wave, and ice affect the regional oceanography. The observatory provides biogeochemical model validation data, improving our understanding of the marine carbon pump and shelf-basin exchanges. The project complements water column, benthic, and passive acoustics sampling carried out by other programs, and places ship-based sampling programs into a significantly more complete temporal context, including measurements of the National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) project, serving as a year-round “anchor” for the DBO monitoring region #4. It also complements previous industry-funded Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program (CSESP), the ongoing Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (AMBON), and the NPRB Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (Arctic IERP).
CEO datasets will have many applications, including:
- Providing independent validation points for biogeochemical and ecosystem models.
Enabling estimates of the particulate fluxes to the seafloor that directly supply the benthic community with organic matter and, in turn, support the key summer walrus foraging area in the vicinity.
- Delivering active acoustic data indicating the presence of Arctic Cod (a subsistence resource and marine mammal prey) and euphausiids (Arctic Cod and bowhead whale prey).
- Providing passive acoustic recordings to document the presence of anthropogenic noises and vocal marine mammals, including walrus, bearded seals, and whales.

Climate Change Initiative - European Space Agency
The objectives of the Sea Ice CCI are to twofold:
(1) Provide quality-controlled ice concentration data sets for the Arctic and Antarctic from 1979 to present, based on passive microwave data.
(2) Provide Arctic sea ice thickness data sets based on radar altimeter data from 1993 to present and with the best possible validation and error characterization.
The climate research community (through GCOS) requires daily sea-ice concentration products at an accuracy of 5%. Such accuracy is not available consistently throughout the year based using any of the available passive microwave algorithms to extract sea-ice concentration. The accuracy might be achievable during periods of the Arctic winter, but the melting season is introducing larger uncertainties in the sea-ice concentration resulting in the GCOS requirement only being partially fulfilled.
Different satellites and instruments have been used to acquire the passive microwave data and together with data quality issues (especially during the melting season) these constitute challenges that need addressing in order to establish the sea-ice ECV.
Advances in the processing of radar altimeter data has though shown that these instruments can be used calculate low resolution sea ice thickness from measurements of ice freeboard. By using known values of ice density, show thickness and snow density, ice thickness can be retrieved for the winter months from 1993 to present. Knowledge of the natural variability of sea-ice thickness is critical for their representation in global climate models. The prediction of future changes in Arctic sea ice, and consequent effect on the ocean and atmosphere, relies on global climate models properly reproducing changes in sea-ice thickness.

Coastal Mapping Project - South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (ODIS id: 3039)
Coastal Mapping Project - South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute
Our coastal areas are of critical importance to both humans and wildlife, and knowledge of them is essential for their management and conservation. Historically in the South Atlantic, the coastal margins of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia have been subject to relatively little study. However, the Falklands have received increased pressures over recent years from shipping, tourism and oil production. While South Georgia has received less human impact, it is still home to globally important populations of marine birds and mammals, and their habitat extends around its coastline.
This new project seeks to utilise recently available satellite imagery alongside other spatial data and local expert knowledge to develop the first broad scale coastal margin (terrestrial, intertidal and subtidal) habitat maps for the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Where there is significant uncertainty in these broad scale maps, or in response to specific priorities from stakeholders, higher resolution habitat maps utilising very high-resolution satellite imagery or bespoke imagery captured using aerial drones will also be developed. These habitat maps will create an essential baseline, providing a sound basis for use in future planning, decision-making and monitoring.
This ambitious three-year project, due to conclude in March 2020, is truly an international collaboration and brings together expertise from a range of organisations across the globe. Together SAERI, Oregon State University, the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Shallow Marine Surveys Group, Falkland Islands Government and Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands represents the leading edge in remote sensing, ecological knowledge and field expertise. The project is grant aided by the Darwin Initiative through UK Government funding.

Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (ODIS id: 13)
Satellites and space technologies provide our societies with crucial services; they have a direct impact on your everyday lives, and the space industry is a source of economic growth and jobs. The EU relies on space technology for implementing its policies – protecting the marine and land environment and biodiversity, combating climate change, responding to disasters, managing transport, etc.
To achieve this mission, the EU needed its own independent access to space-based services. The Lisbon Treaty, signed by the EU member states in December 2007, has given the EU a mandate to
draw up a space policy
set up space programmes
coordinate the work being done at the national level.
Two major space programmes are currently underway: GALILEO (satellite navigation system) and COPERNICUS.
They are driven by the EC Directorate Enterprise and Industry ( European Commission Vice-President and Commissioner: Antonio TAJANI).
COPERNICUS, previously known as GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security), is the European Programme for the establishment of a European capacity for Earth Observation and Monitoring.
COPERNICUS encompasses 3 components: SPACE, INSITU and SERVICES.

Coral Reef InitiativeS for the Pacific
The Coral Reef InitiativeS for the Pacific (CRISP) aims to develop a vision for the future of coral reefs and the communities that depend on them and to introduce strategies and projects to conserve their biodiversity, while developing the economic and environmental services that they provide both locally and globally.
The Initiative for the Protection and Management of Coral Reefs in the Pacific (CRISP), sponsored by France and prepared by the French Development Agency (AFD) as part of an inter-ministerial project from 2002 onwards, aims to develop a vision for the future of these unique eco-systems and the communities that depend on them and to introduce strategies and projects to conserve their biodiversity, while developing the economic and environmental services that they provide both locally and globally. Also, it is designed as a factor for integration between developed countries (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, USA), French overseas territories and Pacific Island developing countries.

Crowdsourced bathymetry on the Great Barrier Reef - Deep Reef Explorer (ODIS id: 3018)
Crowdsourced bathymetry on the Great Barrier Reef - Deep Reef Explorer
Crowdsourced bathymetry (CSB) is the collection of depth measurements from vessels using standard navigation instruments. Many vessels on the Great Barrier Reef – from dive boats to fishing boats – use some type of echo sounder to measure the depth of water. Combined with GPS satellite navigation, these instruments are used for safe navigation and guiding the activities permitted in the zoning maps for the GBR Marine Park.
We started the ‘Crowdsourced bathymetry on the Great Barrier Reef’ project to collect bathymetry and navigation data from volunteer vessels using their own echo sounder and GPS sensors. We initially partnered with Biopixel using MV Argo, installing a SmartLog data logger developed by TeamSurv in the UK to store the data onto a USB flash drive. The success of this first vessel test then led to an expansion of the project across Queensland.
We were funded by the Great Barrier Reef Foundation to establish a pool of SmartLog USB data loggers for volunteer vessels. This project is also an activity of the Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, which gives people an increasing role in contributing valuable citizen science data to improve a fundamental dataset that helps the Reef.
Our aim is to improve the accuracy of the 3D depth models for the GBR. Detailed knowledge of seafloor depths are critical for understanding the distribution of seabed habitats, to provide data for coastal inundation forecasting, flood plume modelling and crown-of-thorns starfish control efforts.
Knowledge of the 3D shape of the underwater landscape influence the path of seawater carrying cooling waters and nutrients through the reef matrix, which can be predicted using 3D hydrodynamic computer models. So the more we improve the accuracy of these depth models, the more this helps improve the results of hydrodynamic modelling.
And with less than 40% of the GBR shelf mapped with in situ depth soundings, it is important to preserve and share the data already collected, and to work together to help fill bathymetry data gaps to support these important uses for the Reef. More broadly, the crowdsourced bathymetry data will be shared with the IHO Data Centre for Digital Bathymetry and the global Seabed 2030 Project.

Data - Atlantic Meridional Transect
The main deliverable of AMT is a unique time series (1995 - 2019) of spatially extensive and internally consistent observations on the structure and biogeochemical properties of planktonic ecosystems in the Atlantic Ocean that are required to validate models addressing questions related to the global carbon cycle.
Data sets include:
Vertical CTD profiles and continuous underway data;
Optical characteristics of the water column;
Biogeochemical measurements on water samples including nutrients, pigments, dissolved gases and particulate carbon and nitrogen;
Primary, new production and respiration measurements;
The programme is coordinated and led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory in collaboration with the National Oceanography Centre and is now funded by the Natural Environment Research Council's National Capability, having previously received funding through NERC's Oceans 2025 programme as a Sustained Observatory within Theme 10 (which secured the continuation of these measurements along the transect for 5 cruises between 2008 to 2012).
Since 1995 AMT has been scientifically led and coordinated by the Plymouth Marine Laboratory. This has involved a total of 26 research cruises with 256 scientists from 22 countries, over 300 refereed publications and 75 PhD theses. AMT continues to contribute to science and policy development including the social and economic understanding of the marine environment and services it delivers.

Data Management and Cyberinfrastructure Subsystem - Integrated Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 1358)
Data Management and Cyberinfrastructure Subsystem - Integrated Ocean Observing System
A coherent strategy that enables the integration of marine data streams across disciplines, institutions, time scales, and geographic regions is central to the success of IOOS and other regional, national, and international ocean and coastal observing systems. The system that must be developed, while challenging, is within the scope of current information technology (IT). It can be developed by building upon existing capabilities through relatively straightforward software engineering. The greatest challenge to enhancing marine data integration is one of coordination and cooperation among the members of IOOS and its user communities.
The IOOS Program Office coordinates the infrastructure to enable the integration of marine data streams.
One of the primary goals of the Data Management and Cyberinfrastructure (DMAC) Subsystem is making discovery, access, and understanding ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes information for the public. To help IOOS researchers and partners make their data available online, the DMAC system enables the integration of marine data streams across disciplines, institutions, time scales, and geographic regions. Accessing IOOS data is possible through a suite of national and regional Data Portal and Viewers. The success of data integration with this distributed system is only possible through the use of common standards, formats, and data services. The U.S. IOOS Program Office maintains information on how to contribute data to IOOS and updates those steps and policies as new standards and technologies emerge.

Data Portal - Stones Metocean Observatory
Stones is the world’s deepest oil and gas project, operating 9,500 feet of water in an ultra-deep area of the US Gulf of Mexico. The floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, which started production in 2016, connects to subsea infrastructure which produces oil and gas from reservoirs nearly 30,000 feet below sea level. The Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS)in collaboration with Shell, supports a pilot effort to convert an existing ocean mooring owned by Shell into the first long-term deep ocean observatory in the Gulf of Mexico. The collaboration, Stones Metocean Observatory Project (Stones MetObs), will provide important marine data to support scientific research and improve understanding of the Gulf of Mexico. The Stones MetObs Data Portal provides the infrastructure to view, investigate, and download data from the Stones MetObs.
Stones MetObs will include standard atmospheric data such as winds, air pressure, air temperature, and oceanographic data such as waves and currents. The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) mounted on the buoy generates up to 170 readings per reporting period from a depth of 4 meters to a depth of 2,897 meters. The mooring is also equipped with an acoustic monitoring instrument, Autonomous Multichannel Acoustic Recorder (AMAR G4), that records ambient, anthropogenic, and marine mammal sound in the area. This data portal is part of a broader, long-term initiative NAS is currently developing called Understanding Gulf Ocean Systems (UGOS). UGOS is envisioned as a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary, multi-institutional research campaign to improve understanding of the various interacting physical, biological, and chemical processes at work in the Gulf of Mexico.

You might think of corals and picture a sunny and shallow tropical reef. Yet recent advances in deep ocean exploration have revealed spectacular coral gardens in the dark ocean depths. Hundreds—and even thousands—of feet beyond the reach of sunlight, these unique corals and sponges are found off all our coasts. Ongoing exploration reveals new and familiar species thriving where we once expected little activity. These special creatures have already yielded new science, including medicines. They thrive in the largest yet least known environment on Earth: the deep sea.

Defenders of Wildlife Bering Strait Response Teaching Tool - Alaska Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 2751)
Defenders of Wildlife Bering Strait Response Teaching Tool - Alaska Ocean Observing System
The AOOS/Axiom team worked with Defenders of Wildlife to create the framework for the Defenders of Wildlife Bering Strait Response Teaching Tool (BSRTT) using relevant marine mammal and spill response data layers within the AOOS Ocean Data Explorer.
Defenders of Wildlife produced an online demonstration video and a downloadable Tutorial that explain the uses and features of this tool.
Alaska Native communities in this dynamic coastal region are key to effective rapid spill response for continued health of the marine environment. Indigenous knowledge of marine wildlife and their habitat is extremely valuable and must be better integrated and utilized in spill planning, preparedness, and response. The BSRTT empowers communities that are on the frontlines.
The BSRTT draws on the latest technology to be a teaching aid and interactive pathway to foster dialogue and action, and ultimately better preparedness.

Developing an Integrated Coastal Water Predictive Capability to Promote Resilience to Water Risks - Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (ODIS id: 2649)
Developing an Integrated Coastal Water Predictive Capability to Promote Resilience to Water Risks - Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association
As coastal ocean prediction science is pushed to the land-sea boundary, a critical need arises for implementation of a robust, efficient, multiscale, two-way model coupling methodology to accurately describe interactions between terrestrial hydrology (i.e. river input, precipitation, and run-off) and the coastal ocean. This project will address this need by developing a prototype prediction system that couples coastal ocean predictions with NOAA’s National Water Model (NWM) forecasts.

Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean (ODIS id: 1382)
Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean
The Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean (DIMES) programme aims to enhance our understanding of Southern Ocean mixing processes in the context of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), which is a critical regulator of Earth's climatic processes.
Climate models are highly sensitive to the representation of mixing processes in the southern limb of the MOC, within the Southern Ocean. Theories and models of the Southern Ocean circulation have been built on the premise that flow in the ocean interior occurs without any change in heat, with processes involving heat transfer being confined to the upper-ocean mixed layer. It is also often assumed that interior mixing across density surfaces is small.
Evaluation of mixing in the Southern Ocean has proven difficult due to the limited availability of suitable data but a few recent studies have suggested that mixing across density surfaces might be large in some locations, particularly over rough bathymetry. This may have implications for the accuracy of climate models.
The primary objective of DIMES is to assess eddy-driven mixing along, and interior mixing across, density surfaces in the Southern Ocean. The project aims to investigate the manner in which these mixing processes affect the overall energetics and property balances for the Southern Ocean and, in turn, the global ocean.
Fieldwork comprises the collection of hydrographic and bathymetric data within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) to the southwest of South America and through the Drake Passage into the Scotia Sea. The programme also includes a Lagrangian experiment comprising the release of an inert chemical tracer at the upstream edge of the study area in late 2009 and the deployment of floats and drifters in 2009 and 2010.
DIMES involves the collaboration of both UK and US research institutions, with the US undertaking scientific cruises in 2009 (RV Revelle 09) and 2010 (RV Thompson 10) and the UK undertaking cruises in 2009 (RRS James Cook JC041), 2010 (RRS James Cook JC054), 2011 (RRS James Clark Ross JR276), 2012 (RRS James Cook JC069), 2013 (RSS James Clark Ross JR281) and 2014 (RSS James Clark Ross JR299).
The programme is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and is co-ordinated by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).

The Union List of Marine and Aquatic Serials is a volunteer project to facilitate interlibrary loan programs among marine science libraries by providing a list of which libraries own specific journals.
The list of serials contained here was derived from the list of source journals for Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts as a starting point. Libraries may also submit additional serial titles to be added to the database, along with their holdings data. In this fashion, it is hoped that a more comprehensive listing of marine and aquatic sciences serials will develop, along with information on owning libraries and their lending practices.

Due South database of upcoming expeditions to the southern ocean
DueSouth is a database of upcoming expeditions to the Southern Ocean. It is a place for you to find planned voyages and the scientists who’ll be aboard, as well as to share your own field plans. It was developed to meet the needs of Southern Ocean researchers, who have repeatedly asked over the years for a tool to help them find out about upcoming voyages, regardless of which nation is organising the cruise.
It allows scientists to find potential collaborators as well as opportunities to collect data in parts of the Southern Ocean that their National Antarctic Programme does not visit.
DueSouth is an initiative of the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS), built with the assistance of the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. While we are working with JCOMMOPS, IAATO, and National Antarctic Programmes to arrange for automatic uploads of information, the majority of information in the database is uploaded by members of the Southern Ocean research community, which means that, to make it truly useful, you need to share your field plans.

EcoAfrik
Although since the end of the 19th century, numerous oceanographic campaigns have traveled the coasts of northwest Africa, the Gulf of Guinea and Namibia, even venturing to the waters of the Indian Ocean, and thousands of publications have described and cited the fish and invertebrates collected Due to those mythical expeditions, the benthic ecosystems that occupy the African continental shelves and margins are among the most unknown and least studied habitats on the planet.
Some of the most productive areas are located on the coasts of Africa and some of the most important fisheries in the world's oceans are developed. For this reason, most of the research that has been carried out historically in the region has focused on the study of species and resources of commercial interest, such as fish, crustaceans and cephalopods.
However, the research of the last decade has clearly shown that we are currently witnessing a degradation of ecosystems due to overfishing that leads to an irreversible loss of marine biodiversity. The depletion of the shelf's traditional resources is driving fishing fleets into deep waters, alarmingly threatening the integrity of some of the most vulnerable ecosystems on the continental margins, including coral reefs. cold, sponge fields, gorgonian forests and seamounts.
Cold-water coral reefs are among the most vulnerable ecosystems on the continental margins, severely threatened by trawling and the extraction of gas and oil from the seabed.
The growing global concern for the conservation of the biodiversity of the seas has found an echo in the United Nations and other international organizations, which have begun to deploy a strong activity aimed at promoting the protection of ecosystems and the regulation of trawling in the continental margins, both under national jurisdiction and in free waters. Thus, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) issued, already in 2007, a resolution in which it exhorts states to adopt and apply measures to identify and protect their marine ecosystems, improving scientific research and transboundary cooperation, further encouraging them to apply the ecosystem-based approach to the management and management of their fisheries.
Knowledge of benthos is therefore essential when it comes to approaching the exercise of responsible fishing, the lasting management of living resources and the protection of the seas based on a holistic approach.
The EcoAfrik Project, which launched the Spanish Institute of Oceanography in 2009, with the collaboration of the Faculty of Marine Sciences of the University of Vigo, aims to address this general lack of knowledge about the biodiversity and benthic ecosystems of Africa.
The project is based on the study and identification of the collections of benthic invertebrates and on the analysis of the data collected in 2,147 trawling stations carried out throughout the 24 campaigns carried out by the oceanographic vessels' Vizconde de Eza 'and' Dr. Fridtjof Nansen 'developed on the African Atlantic and Indian Ocean platforms and slopes between 2002 and 2012.
In all these campaigns, the same sampling methodology was used, important reference faunal collections and quantitative data were collected, not only from commercial species of crustaceans and cephalopods, but from all benthic invertebrates. Most of these campaigns have had a multidisciplinary approach since, in addition to the specific sampling of the benthos, bathymetric surveys of the seabed have been carried out with multi-beam echo sounder equipment and obtained sediment samples and oceanographic data that will provide information on environmental conditions.
Between 2002 and 2010, the Spanish Institute of Oceanography carried out 21 research campaigns on the Atlantic and Indic coasts of Africa, commissioned by the General Secretariat of the Sea (SGM) of the Ministry of the Environment, Rural and Marine, responding to the commitments politicians that it maintains with their counterparts from the countries of the region.
In general, the main objective of most of these campaigns has been the fisheries assessment and the prospecting of possible new resources, particularly in deep waters. However, all the campaigns have had a markedly multidisciplinary character, since other specific ones were added to the main objective in each one of them in order to expand the knowledge that to date was had about ecosystems and environmental conditions in the different study areas.
Some specific campaigns, such as those carried out in the Walvis Ridge and in the Mozambique Channel, had the sole objective of studying the benthic ecosystems and vulnerable habitats present in their seabeds, while others such as those in Mauritania changed their initial fishing objective. and focusing on the characterization of the ecosystems discovered along them.
All the campaigns have been carried out within the framework of the IEO's cooperation with the fisheries and oceanographic research institutes of the respective countries, the participating teams being made up of scientific personnel belonging to Program 03 (CECAF-AFRICA) of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography and corresponding African research centers. Since 2004, the benthos specialists from Professor Ramil's team from the Faculty of Marine Sciences of the University of Vigo have participated on board in all the campaigns. The 21 campaigns had as their platform the Spanish oceanographic vessel Vizconde de Eza, belonging to the General Secretariat of the Sea.
In total, information is available on 1543 towing stations, in addition to…. vertical profiles with oceanographic sensors,… .. plankton trawls and more than… .. nautical miles have been covered with multibeam echosounder. More recently, in 2011 and 2012, FAO, within the framework of the Project for the protection of the Great Marine Ecosystem of the Canary Current (CCLME), has carried out two ecosystem campaigns in the Northwest African region and another in the archipelago from Cape Verde, in which the ECOAFRIK team has participated as responsible for the study of benthos.

A number of threats including water quality, climate change, shipping, fishing and coastal development have the potential to detract from the Reef’s natural, cultural and economic value. Preventing a loss of value requires improved decision support, and communication tools for all who interact with, manage and depend on the Reef.
eReefs, which commenced in January 2012, is a six year $30 million collaborative project that combines government commitment to Reef protection, world-class science innovation and contributions from leading Australian businesses. Focused on the protection and preservation of the iconic Great Barrier Reef, it forms the first step in building comprehensive coastal information systems for Australia.
Using the latest technologies to collate data, and new and integrated modelling, eReefs will produce powerful visualisation, communication and reporting tools. It will provide for the Reef information akin to that provided by the Bureau of Meteorology for weather. This information will benefit government agencies, Reef managers, policy makers, researchers, industry and local communities.

EU-PolarNet
EU-PolarNet 2 is the world’s largest consortium of polar research expertise and infrastructures, composed by 25 partners representing all European Member States and Associated Countries which have well-established Polar Programmes.
The ambition of EU-PolarNet 2 is to establish a sustainable and inclusive platform to co-develop and advance European Polar research actions and to give evidence-based advice to policymaking processes. This platform will allow to further develop the coordination of Polar research actions in Europe and with overseas partners. By involving all relevant stake- and rightholders it will support the development of transdisciplinary and transnational Polar research actions of high societal relevance. To ensure that such an important platform is sustained after the end of EU-PolarNet 2, the project will work towards creating a permanent European Polar Coordination Office.

EuroFleets+
EUROFLEETS+ is an H2020 project funded under the Infrastructures initiative, coordinated by the Marine Institute that brings together a significant group of key marine research actors (in particular research vessel operators) in Europe, North America and Oceania – 42 marine institutes, universities, foundations and SMEs from 24 countries (full list).
The EUROFLEETS+ project will facilitate open free of charge access to an integrated and advanced research vessel fleet, designed to meet the evolving and challenging needs of the user community. European and international researchers from academia and industry will be able to apply for several access programmes, through a single-entry system. EUROFLEETS+ will prioritise support for research on sustainable, clean and healthy oceans, linking with existing ocean observation infrastructures, and it will support innovation through working closely with industry. The project will enable access to a unique fleet of 27 state-of-the-art research vessels from European and international partners. Through competitive Calls, researchers will be able to access the entire North Atlantic, Mediterranean, Black Sea, North Sea, Baltic Sea, Pacific Southern Ocean and Ross Sea. In addition to ship time, researchers will also have access to new AUVs and ROVs. A unique portable telepresence system will enable remote access by researchers and diverse end users including the public; a first for Europe. In addition to comprehensive transnational access activities, the project will undertake joint research in challenging and highly relevant areas, including deep ocean research and exploration, data management, and enabling future virtual access. Multiple networking activities will ensure robust Call processes, wide stakeholder engagement, and development of a strategic roadmap and sustainability plan. To maximise the impact of the project, EUROFLEETS+ will implement diverse training and education activities, strong management of innovation in collaboration with industry, and widespread dissemination and communication actions.
EUROFLEETS+ is intentionally ambitious, building on achievements in two preceding Eurofleets projects. It will integrate a larger number of research vessels and extend the research infrastructure by adding a range of advanced mobile marine equipment. The project is likely to create excitement and interest in marine research communities, in particular given the unprecedented access to European and global seas and oceans. Plans for open science will provide access to new data and information for scientists from different domains. The number of days of ship time has been increased relative to previous projects, and new user groups will be sought; from emerging early stage researchers, to those from less equipped countries, to increased participation by women scientists. Advanced IT systems, a multi-functional website, and robust logistical management will provide seamless integration of services and easy access for user groups.
EUROFLEETS+ will extend and enhance the capabilities of the European research vessel infrastructure, bringing new perspectives, new ideas, and new research and innovation tracks.

European Long-Term Ecosystem Research Infrastructure - European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures
eLTER RI will adopt a fundamentally systemic approach to observe and analyse the environmental system, encompassing biological, geological, hydrological and socioecological perspectives.
While several existing thematic environmental RIs focus on impacts of climate change and/or other elements of environmental change, eLTER RI will be the only research infrastructure embracing holistically the integrated impacts of such stressors on a wide variety of European benchmark ecosystems (major geo-eco-sociological systems across the continent’s ecoclimatological zones and Earth’s critical zone).
eLTER RI will comprise terrestrial, freshwater and transitional water sites. It will allow in-situ, co-located acquisition and gathering of Essential Variables ranging from bio-physicochemical to biodiversity and socio-ecological data. Ecosystem change caused by long-term pressures and short-term pulses will be investigated in a nested design across the scales covered by the eLTER RI site network.

European Marine Observation and Data Network (ODIS id: 119)
The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is a network of organisations supported by the EU’s integrated maritime policy. These organisations work together to observe the sea, process the data according to international standards and make that information freely available as interoperable data layers and data products.
This "collect once and use many times" philosophy benefits all marine data users, including policy makers, scientists, private industry and the public. It has been estimated that such an integrated marine data policy will save at least one billion Euros per year, as well as opening up new opportunities for innovation and growth.

Metadata services: The EMODnet catalogues and other partner catalogues (IFREMER, etc.) offer the ability to search collections of metadata for data, services and related information objects related to the EMODnet Marine Data. The data catalogues offer a CSW endpoint to other client applications to connect to the service and query the metadata held in the catalogue.
CSW GetCapabilities: The mandatory GetCapabilities operation allows CSW clients to retrieve service metadata from a server. The response to a GetCapabilities request shall be an XML document containing service metadata about the server. This subclause specifies the XML document that a CSW server shall return to describe its capabilities. https://www.emodnet.eu/geonetwork/emodnet/eng/csw?service=CSW&request=GetCapabilities&VERSION=2.0.2

European Open Science Cloud
Over the last 5 years, many policy makers around the world have articulated a clear and consistent vision of global Open Science as a driver for accelerating innovation and enabling a new paradigm of data-driven science.
The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) will ofer 1.7 million European researchers and 70 million professionals in science and technology a virtual environment with open and seamless services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data, across borders and scientifc disciplines by federating existing scientifc data infrastructures, currently dispersed across disciplines and Member States.
In Europe, this vision is being realised through an ambitious programme of research and development under the heading of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). This programme will deliver an Open Data Science Environment that federates existing scientific data infrastructures to offer European science and technology researchers and practitioners seamless access to services for storage, management, analysis and re-use of research data presently restricted by geographic borders and scientific disciplines.
