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.

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).

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
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.
EMODnet provides access to European marine data across seven discipline-based themes: Bathymetry, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Human Activities, Physics and Seabed Habitats. For each of these themes, EMODnet has created a gateway to a range of data archives managed by local, national, regional and international organisations. Through these gateways, users have access to standardized observations, data quality indicators and processed data products, such as basin-scale maps. These data products are free to access and use.
EMODnet is financed by the European Union under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.

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 Chemistry Portal
The overall objective of EMODnet Chemistry is to provide an overview and access to marine chemistry data sets and data products related to eutrophication, contaminants, and marine litter for six major European sea regions: Norwegian (incl. Barents), Baltic, N.E. Atlantic (Celtic Seas, Iberian coast and Bay of Biscay and Macaronesia), Greater North Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. These information are specifically relevant for Marine Strategy Framework Directive Descriptors 5 (eutrophication), 8 (chemical pollution), 9 (contaminants in seafood) and 10 (marine litter), based on the guidance of the MSFD Common Implementation Strategy. This work is based upon input gathered and collated from national monitoring efforts and from research institutes activities from all European coastal states.

European Marine Observation and Data Network Physics Portal
EMODnet Physics (www.emodnet-physics.eu) is one of the seven domain-specific portals of the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet).
EMODnet-Physics map portal (www.emodnet-physics.eu/map) provides a single point of access to validated in situ datasets, products and their physical parameter metadata of European Seas and global oceans. More specifically, time series and datasets are made available, as recorded by fixed platforms (moorings, tide gauges, HF radars, etc.), moving platforms (ARGO, Lagrangian buoys, ferryboxes, etc.) and repeated observations (CTDs, etc.). The available themes are the temperature of the water column, the salinity of the water column, horizontal velocity of the water column, sea level and sea level trends, wave height and period, wind and atmospheric pressure, optical properties (e.g. light attenuation, back scattering, turbidity, etc.), underwater sound pressure level (acoustic pollution), river runoff, other biogeochemical data (e.g. chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, etc.), sea-ice coverage.
