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.

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.

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.

GIS in Ecology
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 (ODIS id: 3240)
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.

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.

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.

Mangrove forest trend condition indicator protocol - Information system Marine Environmental of Institute for Marine and Coastal Research of Colombia
Protocol elaborated within the framework of the GEF SAMP Project. The methodology describes the field methods for data collection of the variables that make up the indicator, such as species mangrove density, mangrove basal area, regeneration, number of propagules per mangrove species, and abundance of resident birds. The ICTBM assesses the general condition of biotic integrity and, therefore, the conservation status of mangrove forests and change over time, based on the incorporation of information on these variables into a single numerical value calculated as a geometric weighted average.

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.

Ocean Health Index
The Ocean Health Index is a valuable tool for the ongoing assessment of ocean health. By providing a means to advance comprehensive ocean policy and compare future progress, the Index can inform decisions about how to use or protect marine ecosystems.
The Index is a collaborative effort, made possible through contributions from more than 65 scientists/ocean experts and partnerships between organizations including the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Sea Around Us, Conservation International, National Geographic, and the New England Aquarium.
Scores for status trend and resilience and likely future status The Ocean Health Index is a valuable tool for the ongoing assessment of ocean health. By providing a means to advance comprehensive ocean policy and compare future progress the Index can inform decisions about how to use or protect marine ecosystems. Global databases are used for annual assessment of goals in 221 regions including all coastal countries territories and the Antarctic inland to 1 km from the shore and seaward to either 200 nautical miles Exclusive Economic Zone EEZ or 3 nm. Areas beyond national jurisdiction High Seas are assessed less frequently.

Protocol indicator population density of Lionfish - Information system Marine Environmental of Institute for Marine and Coastal Research of Colombia
The lionfish as an invasive species, alter the structure and composition of the biological communities of reef ecosystems, by competing with native species for food and space, modifying the trophic web, displacing native species from their natural habitats and even extinguishing them, causing thus decrease in biodiversity and irreversible ecosystem alterations (MADS, 2012).

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).

In this framework, the GT MPGD presents the second 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 includes an updated national inventory of ocean data information systems; best practices for access and data exchange policy (regulatory framework, principles, among others); type and description of licenses and use agreements; and experiences of national data exchange.

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
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.
