Abstract

The Navy, through the Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation (DHN), is the National Institution whose function is to promote and coordinate Brazil's participation in the activities of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (COI) related to Ocean Services and Ocean Mapping. The National Oceanographic Data Bank (BNDO), in turn, emerged with the approval of the Decree of January 5, 1994 as a Depositary Center of the IOC, to help DHN manage the data under its custody. The Military Organization responsible for the operation of the BNDO is the CHM, and its activities are specified in Article 4 of the aforementioned Decree, namely: - obtain, receive, analyze, verify the coherence of received data, organize, control, archive and disseminate oceanographic data; - maintain oceanographic data exchange with similar national and foreign institutions within the scope of the IOC; - maintain a bibliographic collection of IOC publications and documents, for dissemination to the national scientific community; - coordinate, control and supervise, with the participation of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the national programs for obtaining oceanographic data.

REDMIC, Canary Islands

Abstract

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).

Abstract

The compilation of the directory of all ocean-going research vessels worldwide is coordinated by EurOcean. This directory contains characteristics, owners and operator information for marine and oceanographic research vessels, larger than 60 meters. The content format is in conformance to the Oceanic database that was initiated and operated earlier by the University of Delaware. The database is being progressively populated. Annually, EurOcean is approaching all operators that are managing research vessels larger than 60 meters, to validate and to maintain their RV entries. Therefore, on-line functionality is made available that allows identified operators of Research Vessels to edit and to alter their vessel information themselves by a Content Management System. At the same time qualifying operators are invited to contact EurOcean by e-mail, so that their entries will be included. One important aspect of the ocean-going Research Vessel Directory is the use of a unique and consistent vocabulary for Ship codes, which can be used also to establish mutual links between the 3 metadatabases of the POGO CID system. The content governance of this key vocabulary is managed by ICES and BODC.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

EMODnet Human Activities aims to facilitate access to existing marine data on activities carried out in EU waters, by building a single entry point for geographic information on 20 different themes. Data on marine and maritime human activities are essential for effectively managing our seas and oceans in a sustainable way. This is becoming increasingly necessary due to growing population size and greater demand for resources, combined with advances in technology, resulting in a huge increase in the number and extent of marine and maritime human activities. These range from established activities such as fisheries and shipping to more recent activity such as construction of offshore energy facilities. Whilst there is considerable data available on these activities it is often only available on a per country, regional or sector-by-sector basis.

The portal is based on free, open-source technology, using both MapServer and OpenLayers. MapServer is used as the geographic data rendering engine. MapServer is designed to render vector and raster data using advanced cartographic output. OpenLayers is a map viewing library that provides a JavaScript API which makes it easy to incorporate maps from a variety of sources into a webpage or application and configure map tools. The portal uses MySQL database technology to hold and serve the GIS data. Web Feature Services will be used to allow request for geographical features across the web using platform-independent calls.

Abstract

This interactive map shows current locations and trajectories of SOCCOM biogeochemical floats and provides links to real-time raw and quality-controlled float data. Daily sea ice extent from the US National Ice Center is shown shaded in blue. The map was originally developed by Kelly Kearney (University of Washington) in cooperation with MBARI, although it has since received a number of enhancements from various contributors. View float and profile locations, download raw and QC’d data files (ODV format). SOCCOM float data are freely available to the public without restriction.

Abstract

In the field of basic marine research, Germany has a very efficient fleet of research vessels at its disposal. As universal platforms, the vessels facilitate research in all marine science disciplines and in the waters of all oceans. This portal provides a platform for scientists working at publicly funded research institutions (universities, institutions of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres, institutions of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Scientific Association, institutes of the Max Planck Society, and subordinate federal authorities) to submit cruise proposals for the research vessels POLARSTERN, METEOR, SONNE, MARIA S. MERIAN, ALKOR, HEINCKE, and ELISABETH MANN BORGESE. Proposals for secondary use of RV POLARSTERN are accepted also from scientists who are employed at a research institution outside Germany. The decision on which research groups will be allocated access to the research vessels is made in the framework of an evaluation procedure based on scientific criteria. The evaluation of cruise proposals is carried out by a joint evaluation process since autumn 2017.

Abstract

The Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels (Global Record) is a phased and collaborative global initiative to make available, in a rapid way, certified data from State authorities about vessels and vessel-related activities. The programme aims towards providing a single access point for information on vessels used for fishing and fishing-related activities with the primary objective being to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing by enhancing transparency and traceability. The programme’s long-term goals are to strengthen the fisheries’ sector in terms of management and its sustainability, to enhance food security and the livelihoods of populations depending on fisheries including rural coastal populations.

Abstract

The Cruise Summary Reports metadatabase maintained at OGS-NODC gathers more than 250 entries, the oldest cruise dating from 1909. Most of them have been carried out on board Italian Research Vessels. Some of them have also been reported from scientific joint projects or ship exchange programs with foreign organisations. The inventory aims at facilitating the search on information and data collected during the research cruises. Each cruise is briefly described by the chief scientist(s) with regards to objectives, works carried out, geographical area, location track, bibliographical references. The works cover several disciplines : marine geology, geophysics, physics, chemistry and biology.

Abstract

The Data Portal for German Marine Research is a product of the Marine Network for Integrated Data Access (MaNIDA) funded cooperatively by the Helmholtz Association. Our consortium aims to implement a sustainable e-infrastructure for coherent discovery, view, download and dissemination of marine research data. For further information see www.manida.org. The data portal brings together data from different German Marine Research Institutes in an automated way (machine readable). For the first time a huge amount of marine data sets are commonly made searchable with direct access and without any registration procedure. Currently we are able to provide access to metadata and data from these partner institutes: AWI, BSH, GEOMAR, HZG and MARUM.

Peace Boat US is excited to announce the launch of a new series of programs as part of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Peace Boat US is a nonprofit organization working to promote a culture of peace and sustainability through educational programs held onboard Peace Boat’s ship which sails with the logo of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the hull. Peace Boat, which holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations (ECOSOC), invites youth leaders from around the world, working towards sustainability in their home communities, to travel onboard, engaging in capacity building, citizen science programs and experiences in the ports of call that enrich their understanding of marine science and climate action on a global scale. Highlighting the theme of this year’s United Nations World Oceans Day: “Planet Ocean, Tides are Changing, we seek to raise awareness about Life Below Water and encourage positive action for our blue planet. As we embark on the inaugural voyage of Peace Boat’s new ship, the Pacific World, we plan to scale up our initiatives for Ocean Literacy, and our commitment to education for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Educational onboard and port programs are designed to familiarize youth with the practical realities of environmental sustainability, intercultural communication, citizen science and education for the UN Sustainable Development Goals—drawing on our 40 years experience of educational programs. Furthermore, the role of sustainable tourism will also be explored, both as a tool for education and awareness raising about ocean degradation and climate change, and also in connection to SDG Target 14.7. Peace Boat’s Global Voyages for the UN Ocean Decade will create the framework for hundreds of educational programs, advocacy campaigns, media appeal and applied research, as well as for hosting international conferences, public awareness raising events and exhibitions on green technologies, climate action, and ocean welfare. 114th Global Voyage Program details can be found here: https://peaceboat-us.org/y4sdgs-114/

Abstract

The cruise inventory is a catalogue of UK research vessel activities dating from 1947 to the present day. Currently, it contains entries for 15942 cruises from 751 individual ships. It also contains details of non-UK marine research activities in British territorial waters. It is a valuable resource for scientists, program managers, and data managers to provide information on who has collected what, where, and when, in addition to details of measurements taken and samples collected. The information is assembled using the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Cruise Summary Report (CSR, formerly ROSCOP) forms. These are completed by the Principal Scientific Officer (PSO) or an appropriate ship's officer for each research cruise or voyage. Forms from UK activities are submitted to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). Information on non-UK cruises comes from Notification of Proposed Research Cruise (NPRC) documents submitted to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). Whereas CSRs provide a summary of cruise activities, more detailed cruise information is provided in the Cruise Report which is produced in the months following the end of the cruise.

Abstract

The Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program provides fleet-wide management of underway data to ensure the preservation of, and access to, our national oceanographic research assets. With their global capability and diverse array of sensors, research vessels are essential mobile observing platforms for ocean science. Data collected on every expedition are of high value, given the high cost and increasingly limited resources for ocean exploration. R2R catalogs and submits the underway environmental sensor data routinely acquired on research expeditions to long-term public archives, including the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Data from each cruise are submitted directly to R2R by the vessel operator, rather than by the science party. R2R provides essential documentation and standard products for each expedition, as well as tools to document shipboard data acquisition activities while underway. Post-cruise quality assessment of selected underway data types is provided, designed to evaluate the completeness of data and data documentation and to provide measures of instrument operation. Assessment of underway meteorological data is implemented in near-real-time in partnership with the SAMOS program at FSU.

RBINS Metadata Portal

Citation

Abstract

The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) metadata portal is an online resource that facilitates the sharing of environmental datasets in an interoperable manner. The scope of the portal is diverse, encompassing various types of data, including oceanographic data (such as RV Belgica en-route data, Tripod data, and FerryBox), geological layers, Marine Spatial Planning, Marine North Sea Forecasting, and biodiversity observations (through GBIF). The primary objective of this catalog is to provide descriptions for all RBINS datasets and make them globally accessible and visible, going beyond our legal obligation to do so. The catalog adheres to international standards like INSPIRE and ISO19115. It offers links for downloading datasets and, when applicable, provides web services for online visualization on a map. To enhance the visibility of the Institute's datasets, the catalog also integrates several internal resources, including http://ipt.naturalsciences.be, which disseminates our biodiversity data to GBIF. Furthermore, it automatically shares all datasets with national and international catalogs (such as INSPIRE, the Belgian and European Open Data portals, and the Belgian NGI). Additionally, a unique DOI is assigned to each dataset's metadata, facilitating easy referencing in publications.

INFOMAR (Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource) is a twenty year programme to map the physical, chemical and biological features of Ireland’s seabed. INFOMAR is funded by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE), and delivered by joint management partners Geological Survey Ireland and the Marine Institute. The programme has placed Ireland centre-stage as global leaders in marine stewardship, seabed mapping and development of marine resources. The program delivers a wide range of benefits to multi-sectoral end-users across the national blue economy with an emphasis on enabling our stakeholders. Demonstrated applications for the use of INFOMAR's suite of mapping products include: Shipping & Navigation Renewable Energy Fisheries Management Aquaculture Marine Leisure & Tourism Oil & Gas Exploration Infrastructure Development Environmental Monitoring Coastal Behaviour With the first ten year phase (2006-2016) now complete, we are beginning to see how this knowledge has the potential to offer incredible benefits for the island of Ireland. A range of diverse navigational, environmental, cultural and international legislative obligations must also be addressed. There remains a crucially important body of work to follow in mapping our valuable inshore and offshore waters before the programme completion in 2026. Project Aims: To provide comprehensive and accessible marine datasets for Irish waters that underpin and add value to marine research, SOLAS Convention obligations and government policy. These products will foster growth within the national blue economy, maintain the health and integrity of our natural marine environment while facilitating international collaboration and best practice in the sustainable development of Ireland's marine resource.
