The purpose of this paper is to outline various approaches to area-based management of coastal and marine areas and to measure progress of their implementation in Asia and the Pacific as a proxy for progress on SDG indicator 14.2.1. To measure progress on SDG indicator 14.2.1 in Asia and the Pacific, online literature was used to determine stages of implementation of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) between 2009 and 2019. During this period 29 countries out of 46 coastal member States were found to have made substantial progress in MSP implementation.

Assessment of capacity development needs of the countries in Asia and the Pacific for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (ODIS id: 745)
Assessment of capacity development needs of the countries in Asia and the Pacific for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14
Sustainable Development Goal 14 aims to aims to conserve and sustainably use the ocean, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. The increasingly adverse impacts of climate change -including ocean acidification-, overfishing and marine pollution are jeopardizing recent gains in protecting the ocean. Against this backdrop, ESCAP resolution E/ESCAP/RES/72/9 requested the secretariat, inter alia, to undertake an assessment of capacity development needs of the countries in Asia and the Pacific for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14. This report presents findings of an assessment undertaken by ESCAP to gain a better understanding of the capacity development needs in relation to SDG 14 in Asia and the Pacific and to help inform ESCAP’s work in this area. The assessment was undertaken through an online survey, a pilot case study, desk-based research and telephone interviews. A webinar was organized to present the findings of this assessment and is available in the URL.

Better Biomolecular Ocean Practices
We aim to achieve increased comparability between Biomolecular Ocean Practices (BOPs). Currently, the wealth of ocean biomolecular practices is shared in diverse formats (e.g. text in publications, pdfs, ...). To better compare differences in practices and integrate data generated using BOPs, we developed markdown templates as well as standardized metadata describing protocols (called Minimum Information about an Omics Protocol or "MIOP"). Our goal is to create machine-readable protocol documents where changes can be tracked, assigned DOIs, and linked to associated datasets. These tools will also allow us to compare protocols at scale and make protocols more findable.

Climate and Forecast Metadata Conventions
The conventions for CF (Climate and Forecast) metadata are designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with the NetCDF API. The CF conventions are increasingly gaining acceptance and have been adopted by a number of projects and groups as a primary standard. The conventions define metadata that provides a definitive description of what the data in each variable represents and the spatial and temporal properties of the data. This enables users of data from different sources to decide which quantities are comparable and facilitates building applications with powerful extraction, regrinding, and display capabilities.

Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard
The Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) is a structured catalog of ecological terms that also provides a framework for interpreting, classifying, and inter-relating observational data from all types of sensors and platforms. The CMECS vocabulary describes coastal and marine environments from the head of tide in estuaries to the depths of the oceans and Great Lakes, and offers an umbrella under which a national coastal and marine ecological classification can grow and evolve.
Endorsed by the FGDC in 2012, CMECS builds upon approaches from published national, regional, and local habitat classification procedures. As an FGDC standard, federally funded projects working with environmental data in marine settings should use CMECS as their primary classification system or include CMECS attributes for their data.

Coastal erosion rate/index of Colombia
The index shows the rate of coastal erosion of the coastline of the Caribbean, Pacific and insular areas of Colombia. Conceptually, the variables considered to develop the statistical operation are based on: i) Distance (spatial variation between coastlines - meters), ii) Time (number of years between coastlines - years) and iii) Thematic segments of the territory (geomorphology, ecosystems, population, among others). Methodologically, there are 3 main components, which are remote sensors, the platform for processing and automation of satellite images and finally the GIS (Geographic Information Systems), the latter will allow the development of Geostatistics, obtaining results such as erosion rates, percentage of the country's coastline in erosion, by region, by the department, geomorphological units and ecosystems, among other data. Finally, the analyzes are carried out at the national, regional (Caribbean, Insular and Pacific) and departmental levels (12 coastal).

The coastal indicator knowledge and information system is an information source and education tool for managers, students, researchers and policy makers with an interest in the coastal zone. It consists of a series of fact sheets that provide background scientific information on measures that are commonly thought of or used as indicators. These “indicators” are described in terms of:
what they are;
what causes them to change;
their significance;
considerations for their measurement and interpretation;
existing information and data; and
key questions and further research needs.
The indicator fact sheets are linked to other coastal fact sheets (including those on human pressure indicators, coastal issues and economic considerations) and to conceptual models of estuarine function . In this way, we try to convey the complexity of the various measures, and where possible, their interconnectedness and the coastal geomorphic settings where they are best applied.

Coasts of Chile. Natural Enviroment, Climate Change, Oceanic Engineering and Coastal Management - University of Valparaíso
The reality in Chile tells us that almost a million people live below 10 meters above sea level; a quarter of its population is distributed in 100 coastal communes and two insular ones; where 467 officially registered fishing coves support 92,000 workers linked to artisanal fishing. In addition to the above, approximately 3,400 fish farms and aquaculture concessions are important sources of work, to which are added half a million people who carry out related activities, including traders, intermediaries and exporters, highlighting that 95% of the country's commercial exchange it develops across the oceans. This book is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary contribution to the knowledge of the coast of Chile.

Conventions - International Maritime Organization (ODIS id: 1318)
The industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the upsurge in international commerce which followed resulted in the adoption of a number of international treaties related to shipping, including safety. The subjects covered included tonnage measurement, the prevention of collisions, signalling and others.
By the end of the nineteenth century suggestions had even been made for the creation of a permanent international maritime body to deal with these and future measures. The plan was not put into effect, but international co-operation continued in the twentieth century, with the adoption of still more internationally-developed treaties.
By the time IMO came into existence in 1958, several important international conventions had already been developed, including the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1948, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil of 1954 and treaties dealing with load lines and the prevention of collisions at sea.
IMO was made responsible for ensuring that the majority of these conventions were kept up to date. It was also given the task of developing new conventions as and when the need arose.
The creation of IMO coincided with a period of tremendous change in world shipping and the Organization was kept busy from the start developing new conventions and ensuring that existing instruments kept pace with changes in shipping technology. It is now responsible for more than 50 international conventions and agreements and has adopted numerous protocols and amendments.

The creation of IMO coincided with a period of tremendous change in world shipping and the Organization was kept busy from the start developing new conventions and ensuring that existing instruments kept pace with changes in shipping technology. It is now responsible for more than 50 international conventions and agreements and has adopted numerous protocols and amendments.

Coordinating Working Party Handbook of Fishery Statistics - FAO (ODIS id: 997)
Coordinating Working Party Handbook of Fishery Statistics - FAO
Considering capture fisheries and aquaculture from a global or a regional perspective requires national fisheries statistical programmes to be coherent and consistent, and demands a common set of regional or interregional statistical standards which apply internationally recognized definitions, classifications and codes. The CWP Handbook of Fisheries Statistics was created to serve as the basis for this integration.
The CWP Handbook covers the concepts, definitions, classifications and data exchange protocols – and not least the codes as applied to capture fisheries and aquaculture statistics globally. Many of these concepts and definitions are applied in a wider context, but the user is advised to check the validity of such applications. The Handbook indicates the principles applied by the international agencies and no attempt has been made to include details of national systems, many of which, having been developed for specific national purposes, may differ from those employed internationally.
The intended users of this Handbook are the CWP Member Agencies, national fishery and aquaculture statistics offices, national administrations and other fishery and aquaculture agencies. The Handbook is also intended to assist in the development of national standards as logical extensions of the international standards. Authorities considering introducing or revising national statistical systems are requested to ensure that the system developed incorporates a high degree of compatibility with the international standards described here.

Directory Interchange Format content metadata (ODIS id: 1115)
The Directory Interchange Format (DIF) content metadata is a specific set of attributes for describing Earth science data at the collection level. From its inception in the late 1980’s as a way to document and exchange information on scientific data to its implementation in NASA's Global Change Master Directory (GCMD), the DIF has evolved to serve the user community in the discovery, access and use of Earth science and related data. GCMD metadata records are now maintained in the Common Metadata Repository (CMR), and the DIF is one of several supported formats for submitting metadata to CMR.
The DIF, the ECHO metadata model, and the ISO 19115 standards for science metadata formed the basis for NASA's Unified Metadata Model (UMM) used by CMR.

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
CSW GetRecords
GetRecords requests allow to query and filter the catalogue metadata records.

European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet): Chemistry
EMODnet Chemistry provides easy access to marine chemical data, standardised harmonized validated data collections and reliable data products, which are highly relevant to assessing ecosystem status according to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, for all European marine regions.
Numerous substances are considered; most of them are invisible to the naked eye and can only be detected and tracked using special sensors or by laboratory analysis. This evidence-based information is essential for understanding seawater chemistry and its natural and/or human-induced variations. It is also essential for identifying and taking action against spatio-temporal environmental changes that pose risks to marine ecosystems and human health.

Geographic Information Systems, or GIS for short, are rapidly becoming an essential tool in many areas of ecological research. However, getting to grips with how to correctly use GIS in ecological research is not necessarily straight-forward.
The would-be ecological GIS user is faced with a whole new set of unfamiliar and confusing jargon, making it difficult to know where to start. This difficulty is further amplified by the fact that most training, instruction and advice currently available has been developed to teach the GIS skills required by geographers rather than ecologists. Many ecologists are put off by these difficulties and abandon their attempts to use GIS in their research.
However, GIS is a powerful tool for ecologists and, in our experience, with the correct introduction, anyone can get to grips with it quickly and easily, to the great benefit of their research.
The key is to not try to learn how to use GIS as an abstract set of concepts and tasks, and certainly not to learn how geographers use it (why, for example, would an ecologist ever need to know how to work out what the best site is for a new superstore?). Rather, the key is to specifically learn how to apply it to the type of tasks which are needed to use GIS in ecological research.
GIS in Ecology was set up by Dr. Colin MacLeod in 2011 with the aim of making GIS as accessible as possible by providing in-person training courses, onlinetraining courses, books, advice and consultancy for ecologists by ecologists.
We aim to do this using the type of language that ecologists can understand, and by showing them specifically how to use GIS to do the everyday tasks ecologists need to know in order to quickly start using GIS in their research.
This is done using a teaching framework called the TOL Approach® which we have developed to help teach practical skills to life scientists.
We also provide an online forum where ecologists can ask questions and discuss issues specifically related to the use of GIS in ecology.
Through this, we hope to greatly expand the use of GIS in ecological research, to the benefit of all.

Handbook of Quality Control Procedures and Methods for Surface Meteorology Data - COAPS
The Data Assembly Center (DAC) for Surface Meteorology at Florida State University is charged with collecting, quality controlling, archiving, and distributing all underway surface meteorological data from WOCE vessels worldwide. The scope of the DAC 's collection efforts also includes all surface meteorological data from WOCE-sponsored experiments (i.e. Subduction Experiment). Types of data collected include standard ship bridge observations, advanced automated systems (e.g. Improved METeorology (IMET) measurements system), and all other practically obtainable surface meteorological data from WOCE research vessels and buoys.
Once the data are collected, the DAC verifies the accuracy of the measurements using a series of data quality evaluation procedures. The focus of the DAC Handbook of Quality Control Procedures and Methods is to describe the methodology and detail these quality control (QC) procedures. The DAC intends for this document to be used by the WOCE scientific community as well as other interested researchers. The flagging procedures contained in this report may also be of general interest to data evaluators from the international data centers (NCDC, NCAR, BODC, etc.).
The overall goal of the DAC's QC is to provide a well-documented, reliable, and consistent data set to the scientific community. The DAC evaluates the data to the best level possible with the QC results depending primarily on the level of knowledge of the incoming data as well as examination and analysis of the data. Information provided about how the data were collected, i.e. metadata, is an essential component of any data set, particularly in light of the historical context of climate variability. Metadata will be included with all DAC quality controlled data sets either as additions to the data or as a part of the QC reports. Ideally, the metadata contains information on the instrument setup, calibrations, and formats for the meteorological data.
Data quality flagging, not value replacement, is the method used to denote suspect or erroneous data. The choice to flag questionable data at the DAC, as opposed to data correction, was made to insure the data remain in the original form that was sent to the DAC. For scientific reasons, the end user must determine appropriate utilization of the flags provided. This will allow additional processing/decisions to be made at later times.
The QC procedure for all WOCE data sets is a four-step process schematically outlined in Fig. 1. The process begins with the acquisition of a WOCE meteorological data set and accompanying metadata (e.g. README file). The first step of the QC is converting the meteorological data to a standard format for internal use at the DAC. The format includes metadata and is described in Section 2. Once converted, the data are sent through an automated preprocessing program that checks for values outside of a realistic range, statistical outliers, unrealistic ship movements, etc. The preprocessing procedures are outlined in Section 3. During the third step of the QC, the preprocessed meteorological data are visually inspected by a trained Data Quality Evaluator (DQE) using the VIsual Data Assessment Tool (VIDAT). VIDAT is an interactive, graphically-based tool developed at the FSU DAC, that allows the DQE to add or remove QC flags from the meteorological data. VIDAT is described in detail in Section 4. When the meteorological data have passed all final inspections, the data are converted to a standard format suitable for public distribution and further analysis. At this time a QC report is written combining flag information from the preprocessor and the DQE 's VIDAT evaluation. More information, i.e. calibrations done prior to the data's arrival at the DAC, may be extracted from the metadata and added to the QC report. The resulting quality controlled data and report are then made available for the WOCE community.

INDICATOR PROTOCOL CONDITION TREND CORAL AREAS - SiAM
Protocol elaborated within the framework of the GEF SAMP Project. The methodology synthesizes monitoring stations for coral areas, as well as procedures for collecting information on coral cover, the cover of green macroalgae, abundance and biomass of herbivorous fish and abundance and biomass of predatory fish associated with the reef. The ICTAC evaluates the general condition of biotic integrity, and therefore the state of conservation of coral areas, and the changes in health over time, by incorporating these variables into an arithmetic average.

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships - International Maritime Organization (ODIS id: 1316)
International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships - International Maritime Organization
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is the main international convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes.
The MARPOL Convention was adopted on 2 November 1973 at IMO. The Protocol of 1978 was adopted in response to a spate of tanker accidents in 1976-1977. As the 1973 MARPOL Convention had not yet entered into force, the 1978 MARPOL Protocol absorbed the parent Convention. The combined instrument entered into force on 2 October 1983. In 1997, a Protocol was adopted to amend the Convention and a new Annex VI was added which entered into force on 19 May 2005. MARPOL has been updated by amendments through the years.
The Convention includes regulations aimed at preventing and minimizing pollution from ships - both accidental pollution and that from routine operations - and currently includes six technical Annexes. Special Areas with strict controls on operational discharges are included in most Annexes.

International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers - International Maritime Organization (ODIS id: 1317)
International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers - International Maritime Organization
The 1978 STCW Convention was the first to establish basic requirements on training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers on an international level. Previously the standards of training, certification and watchkeeping of officers and ratings were established by individual governments, usually without reference to practices in other countries. As a result standards and procedures varied widely, even though shipping is the most international of all industries.
The Convention prescribes minimum standards relating to training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers which countries are obliged to meet or exceed.
The 1995 amendments, adopted by a Conference, represented a major revision of the Convention, in response to a recognized need to bring the Convention up to date and to respond to critics who pointed out the many vague phrases, such as "to the satisfaction of the Administration", which resulted in different interpretations being made.
The 1995 amendments entered into force on 1 February 1997. One of the major features of the revision was the division of the technical annex into regulations, divided into Chapters as before, and a new STCW Code, to which many technical regulations were transferred. Part A of the Code is mandatory while Part B is recommended.
Dividing the regulations up in this way makes administration easier and it also makes the task of revising and updating them more simple: for procedural and legal reasons there is no need to call a full conference to make changes to Codes.
Another major change was the requirement for Parties to the Convention are required to provide detailed information to IMO concerning administrative measures taken to ensure compliance with the Convention. This represented the first time that IMO had been called upon to act in relation to compliance and implementation - generally, implementation is down to the flag States, while port State control also acts to ensure compliance. Under Chapter I, regulation I/7 of the revised Convention, Parties are required to provide detailed information to IMO concerning administrative measures taken to ensure compliance with the Convention, education and training courses, certification procedures and other factors relevant to implementation.The information is reviewed by panels of competent persons, nominated by Parties to the STCW Convention, who report on their findings to the IMO Secretary-General, who, in turn, reports to the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) on the Parties which fully comply. The MSC then produces a list (the so called "white list") of "confirmed Parties" in compliance with the STCW Convention.

It is a new functional typology for ecosystems by providing a global framework for reporting on Aichi targets Sustainable Development Goals and natural capital accounting as well as for structuring global risk assessments for the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems. The theoretical framework is critical to ensuring classification robustness with a changing knowledge base plus the flexibility to accommodate new information. The hierarchical framework integrates both top-down approaches essential for global consistency and bottom-up approaches to incorporate established ecological classifications already in use and incorporated into policy infrastructure in regional national and sub-national levels e.g. EUNIS habitat classification. This is crucial as important conservation action occurs at local levels where most expertise resides.

Coastal, estuarine and fluvial environments are vulnerable to future climate change, but successful adaptation to climate change requires an improved prediction of environmental responses over long timescales. However, predicting the impacts of climate change is difficult due to the non-linear responses of biota and sediment transport to changes like rising sea levels or more frequent extreme events such as intense rainfall or storm surges. Future management of the impacts of climate change therefore requires better modelling of the interaction between biota and morphodynamics under predicted changes to hydrodynamic forcing.
Flume experiments provide a unique opportunity to isolate and quantify the impact of different forcing regimes on morphodynamics and biota under controlled conditions, which is essential for validating and improving numerical simulations of the natural environment. Successful physical modelling for climate change adaptation needs to meet the challenge of incorporating and scaling non-linear responses resulting from changes in event frequency and magnitude. RECIPE will address this challenge by developing new innovative experimental techniques, methods and protocols across the following areas: variability in forcing, morphodynamics and biology.

The main aims of ‘FREE Data’ are to develop tools and protocols for the effective sharing of data that allows effective flux and exchange with numerical modelling and field case studies. As part of the work we will test and demonstrate these tools and protocols with a range of datasets, starting with relatively simple cases and building up to the most complex and most interdisciplinary datasets that will be generated in HYDRALAB+: those produced by work on ecohydraulics.
This Joint Research Activity will develop new methods for sharing and exchanging experimental results to encourage greater data flux and will demonstrate how the exchange of data between laboratories, numerical models and the field environment provides comprehensive solutions to climate change adaptation.
Achieving this will lead to the creation of a free market in open data, which can be used, reused and redistributed by anyone.

Longhurst Biogeographical Provinces (ODIS id: 760)
The dataset represents the division of the world oceans into provinces as defined by Longhurst. The division has been based on the prevailing role of physical forcing as a regulator of phytoplankton distribution. Note that the boundaries of these provinces are not fixed in time and space but are dynamic and move under seasonal and interannual changes in physical forcing. At the first level of reduction Longhurst recognised four principal biomes the Polar biome the Westerlies biome the Trade winds biome and the Coastal biome. These four biomes are recognised in every major ocean basin. At the next level of reduction the ocean basins are divided into provinces roughly ten for each basin. These regions provide a template for data analysis or for making parameter assignments on a global scale. Please refer to Longhurst s publications when using these shapefiles.

Mapping Global Ocean Ecosystems – Feasibility Study (ODIS id: 746)
Mapping Global Ocean Ecosystems – Feasibility Study
This paper presents findings of a feasibility study for a Mapping Global Ocean Ecosystem (MGOE) program to produce a series of maps of global coastal and marine ecosystems (e.g. substrate, seagrass, mangrove, coral reef and biotic etc.). The maps will be based on existing spatial datasets and ecosystem classifications of ocean and marine areas.
The ongoing benefits of the Mapping Global Ocean Ecosystem program will facilitate international collaborations for ocean and coastal research, establish a common ocean ecosystem mapping vocabulary and encourage an internationally consistent approach for global ocean ecosystem mapping into the future. We anticipate that the output of this program will facilitate international-scale cross-disciplinary studies of ocean ecosystems. It is our intent that, by collating all the available marine and ocean ecosystem datasets into a single framework, a single classification system and a spatial coordinate, and promoting and extending the availability of these through public use rules, institutions will work collaboratively to address worldwide data gaps and solutions. It is encouraged for researchers worldwide to share their ocean and marine ecosystem data.
Two major tasks are included in this study: reviewing both the existing datasets and the classification frameworks and then summarize recommendations on the best datasets and suitable classification methods for mapping global ocean ecosystems.
We have also suggested a work plan and timeline for creating an initial map of global ocean ecosystems, including areas where data are not available.

The Pacific Marine Arctic Regional Synthesis (PacMARS) is a research synthesis effort funded by Shell
Exploration & Production Company and ConocoPhillips, and administered and managed by the North
Pacific Marine Research Institute through the North Pacific Research Board with oversight from the U.S.
National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The goal of the Pacific Marine Arctic Regional
Synthesis (PacMARS) effort is to facilitate new and cross-disciplinary synergies in our understanding of
the marine ecosystem of the greater Bering Strait region, including the northern Bering, Chukchi and
Beaufort seas. The specific objectives of the PacMARS research team and collaborators are as follows:
(1) identify and synthesize existing data sets that are critical for evaluating the current state of knowledge
of this marine ecosystem, including human dimensions, and (2) define the high-priority, overarching
scientific themes and research needs for the next decade or more of marine ecosystem studies in the
Pacific Arctic Region.

Reference Manual on Best Practices for Ocean Data Management Number 1 / 2016
The “Colombian Oceanographic Data and Information Coordination Committee” (CTN Diocean, by its initials in Spanish) was created by Resolution No. 005/2015 of the Colombian Ocean Commission (CCO, by its initials in Spanish), to promote the articulation of efforts and institutional capacities in colombian oceanographic data and marine information management. One of the concerns of the CTN Diocean is the ocean data and information access and exchange at the national, regional and local level; for this reason, it created the Working Group on Best Practices in Data Management (GT MPGD, by its initials in Spanish) and included in its Work Plan 2015-2020 the identification and recommendation of best practices on management, conservation, publication and exchange of colombian oceanic data. In this framework, the GT MPGD presents the first edition of a special publication titled "Reference Manual on Best Practices of Oceanic Data Management", which contains a set of recommendations already accepted in national and international community, which is expected to be incorporated by the producers and managers of Colombian ocean data and information. This edition has three chapters: the first one shows an inventory with a brief description of information systems and oceanographic and marine-coastal monitoring networks in the national context; the second one, a list of standards, formats and vocabularies widely used by the national and international community; finally, an application case study of standards, formats and vocabularies of the Colombian Oceanographic Data Center (Cecoldo, by its initials in Spanish).

SeaDataNet Pan-European Infrastructure for Ocean & Marine Data Management
SeaDataNet is a distributed Marine Data Infrastructure for the management of large and diverse sets of data deriving from in situ of the seas and oceans.
Professional data centres, active in data collection, constitute a Pan-European network providing on-line integrated databases of standardized quality.
The on-line access to in-situ data, meta-data and products is provided through a unique portal interconnecting the interoperable node platforms constituted by the SeaDataNet data centres.
The development and adoption of common communication standards and adapted technology ensure the platforms interoperability. The quality, compatibility and coherence of the data issuing from so many sources, is assured by the adoption of standardized methodologies for data checking, by dedicating part of the activities to training and preparation of synthesized regional and global statistical products from the most comprehensive in-situ data sets made available by the SeaDataNet partners.
Data, value added products and dictionaries serve wide uses: e.g. research, model initialisation, industrial projects, teaching, marine environmental assessment.
The European lanscape in terms of Marine data management is well established and relies on three main components which are SeaDataNet, EMODnet and Copernicus CMEMS.

The SOS standard is applicable to use cases in which sensor data needs to be managed in an interoperable way. This standard defines a Web service interface that allows querying observations, sensor metadata, as well as representations of observed features. Further, this standard defines means to register new sensors and to remove existing ones. Also, it defines operations to insert new sensor observations. This standard defines this functionality in a binding independent way; two bindings are specified in this document: a KVP binding and a SOAP binding.

Special Areas of Conservation with Marine components - Joint Nature Conservation Committee (ODIS id: 1663)
Special Areas of Conservation with Marine components - Joint Nature Conservation Committee
Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) are designated to protect habitats and species listed on Annex I and Annex II of the European Habitats Directive.
SACs with ‘marine components’ protect Annex I habitats and/or Annex II species associated with the marine environment. Marine component habitats range from coastal, intertidal habitats such as coastal lagoons and mudflats and sandflats, to subtidal and deep-sea habitats such as reefs. There are currently 116 SACs with marine components covering approximately 14% of UK waters. SACs with marine components are displayed on JNCC's MPA mapper, and a list of these sites, the habitats and species they protect, and the site boundaries, is available on JNCC's Resource Hub.

Geo-Seas has adopted the SeaDataNet infrastructure approach and components to interconnect its geological and geophysical data centres and their collections. The SeaDataNet architecture makes use of web technologies, such as SOAP web services for various communication tasks and for providing supporting services for XML metadata validation, serving common vocabularies, authentication of users for data access, and handling the data transaction process between the portal and the interconnected data centres. This is done by web applications. In addition, Java software modules are used for editing and generating metadata files in XML, converting data formats, and for connecting local data centres to the central portal for queries and downloading services.
The standards have been adapted, where needed, for Geo-Seas purposes. This was done after a Geo-Seas examination and further analysis of the Common Data Index (CDI) metadata format, data transport formats and common vocabularies, taking SeaDataNet as basis, but also taking into account international practice and experience from the GeoSciML and One-Geology Europe projects. It has resulted in a number of adaptions for Geo-Seas in good cooperation with the SeaDataNet Technical Task Group that is governing the standards:
Upgrade of the CDI metadata format,
Further extension of the CDI metadata format for seismic data sets,
Extension of the Common Vocabularies,
Extension of supported standard data formats,
Quality Flag scale.
The upgraded standards have also required an upgrading of specific web applications and software tools. For Geo-Seas upgraded versions have been developed for:
MIKADO XML metadata editor software tool,
NEMO ASCII files conversion software tool,
Ends&Bends navigation files software tool,
Download Manager software component.
Note: The software is hosted at the SeaDataNet website, because the upgraded standards, web applications and software tools have been adopted by SeaDataNet enriching the overall infrastructure and its ability to cope with a wide range of data types.

Technical Guidance on Ocean Accounting for Sustainable Development (ODIS id: 752)
Technical Guidance on Ocean Accounting for Sustainable Development
Vital information to monitor and evaluate progress towards SDG 14 exists, but it is fragmented across scientific domains, policy frameworks and institutions. There is no standard approach to integrating diverse data on the ocean to support public policy decisions and optimal use of ocean resources. In response to the UN Statistical Commission decision 49/110 in March 2018, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) and the United Nations Environment Programme started to develop statistical guidelines and methods to improve ocean data and statistics.
Taking an accounting approach, UNESCAP and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in collaboration with partners through the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership (GOAP) have produced a preliminary consultation draft of the Technical Guidance on Ocean Accounting for Sustainable Development (Version 0.8), contained in the present document.
The technical guidance describes a statistical framework for compiling ocean-related data, statistics and indicators in a spatially consistent, comparable and coherent manner. Development of the technical guidance started with the identification of nine key technical issues for testing and resolution at the Asia-Pacific Regional Expert Workshop on Ocean Accounts in August 2018.

The Generic Earth Observation Metadata Standard - Aura Validation Data Center
This document outlines the metadata and data structure requirements developed to facilitate the use of
geophysical datasets by improving their portability and accessibility, and by making their contents self-describing. This approach was originally selected to deal with atmospheric and oceanographic datasets but
has been recently expanded to support all measurements from Earth observation instruments.
The Generic Earth Observation Metadata Standard (GEOMS) metadata and data structure requirements
described in this document may be applied to any project where data are to be exchanged.

The FACT Network is a grassroots collaboration of marine scientists using acoustic telemetry and other technologies to better understand and conserve our region’s important fish and sea turtle species. The FACT Network originated as the Florida Atlantic Coast Telemetry Network but has since grown to include partners from the Bahamas to the Carolinas (and is growing everyday) and is now know simply as the FACT Network.
