The African Marine Atlas developed by the Ocean Data and Information Network for Africa (ODINAFRICA) was officially launched on 23 February 2007 at the IOC Project Office for International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) in Ostend, Belgium.
The African Marine Atlas, which can be accessed at http://www.africanmarineatlas.net, provides substantial maps, images, data and information to coastal resource managers, planners and decision-makers from various administrative institutions and specialized agencies in Africa. The Atlas will be of immense benefit to national institutions and a variety of users such as environmentalists, local administrators, park managers, scientific community, fishing cooperatives, tourists, hotel keepers, teachers, NGOs, the general public, and any other interested persons. It has over 800 downloadable data products africanmarineatlas_map.jpgderived from the fields of marine geo-sphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, geopolitical and the human socio-economic dimensions.
The Atlas indicates areas of intense use along the coastline requiring careful management and provides potential foresight on likely consequences of specific decisions. Further, the Atlas indicates gaps in knowledge and information base, where additional efforts may be directed. The Atlas will also act in other ways as a guide to recreational opportunities and tourist attractions.
In developing the Atlas, the main objective was to collate available geospatial datasets and information on the marine environment and to summarize it into an African Marine Atlas suite.
The website is one of a set of Marine Atlas products that will include web data services, web mapping and an Atlas publication when completed.
The Atlas was realized through intensive work between May 2006 and February 2007 by a team of 16 marine scientists and GIS experts from NODC’s in Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, and Tanzania. International ocean data experts provided key inputs in data analysis. It is based on an extensive survey of coastal and marine data needs undertaken in early 2006 in all the countries participating in ODINAFRICA.
Primary partners in this project were the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the African Coelecanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP). UNEP will develop a clearinghouse and information system on coastal and marine resources of Eastern Africa from the regional atlas. The Atlas has brought great benefits to participating national institutions and Africa as a whole, by encouraging scientists to work together, learn new techniques, and build teams that will continue to regularly update the Atlas with national and local scale data sets.
In 2018 with assistance from the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN), the AMA project transitioned to the GeoNode Platform and became known as the African Coastal and Marine Atlas (ACMA).

The ShoreZone mapping system has been in use since the early 1980s and has been applied to more than 120,000 km of shoreline in Alaska, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. As of 2018, approximately 94% of the state has ShoreZone imagery and of the area imaged approximately 98% is mapped. This project has been funded by NOAA and a number of other agencies and organizations throughout the years.
This standardized system catalogs both geomorphic and biological resources at mapping scales of better than 1:10,000. The high resolution, the attribute-rich dataset is a useful tool for extrapolation of site data over broad spatial ranges for creating a variety of habitat models and oil spill response tools.
Low tide, oblique aerial imagery sets this system apart from other mapping efforts. You can "fly the coastline" (aerial video), view and download still photos, and access physical and biological data using our interactive website. Power users can download the entire ShoreZone geodatabase.

American Tropical Seas Observatory - Institute for Marine and Coastal Research of Colombia
The Tropical Seas of the Americas Observatory Portal (TRITON) is an initiative of the Geosciences Program of the Institute for Marine and Coastal Research - INVEMAR (Colombia). TRITON aims to be a tool to support research, productive activities and the follow-up of the evolution (monitoring) of oceanic conditions in the Caribbean region. To this end, TRITON displays in an almost permanent way and in close to real-time (between 6 hours and 2 days late) highly relevant oceanographic information in the highest spatial resolution possible for the entire basin.
The global oceanographic information displayed in TRITON comes from or has been processed from different satellite databases and free access to numerical model outputs. Its original sources can be consulted in the links provided together with the information corresponding to each variable. The data processing is carried out through PYTHON modules and later it is stored in NetCDF format. The information is displayed through a THREDDS 4.6.9 server (Thematic Real-time Environmental Distributed Data Services) in WMS format. WMS services are consumed and interpreted through Arcgis 3.30 Javascript framework.

Planktonic ostracods are a neglected component of mesoplanktonic communities, despite being almost ubiquitous throughout the World's oceans. Currently the number of planktonic ostracods described from oceanic waters is 203. In addition there are 34 species of the family Thaumatocyprididae, which are predominantly either benthic or cavernicolous. We present a listing of the currently recognized species. In inshore waters, particularly in the vicinity of coral reefs, there is a great diversity of myodocopid ostracods that can be sampled in the water column especially at night. Most of these myodocopid species are not holoplanktonic, entering the water column at certain stages of their life histories. This site only covers the holoplanktonic species and does not deal with any of the neritic species.
In oceanic waters the vast majority of planktonic ostracods are halocyprids. They are often very abundant, and rank second to copepods in numerical abundance particularly in subthermocline waters. They may occur almost everywhere from the surface to abyssal depths. However, they are seldom encountered in the upper 100-200m of the water column at high latitudes (>50 deg), for example they are infrequently sampled by the Continuous Plankton Recorder, which is towed at 8-10m (Williams, 1975). However, their relatively small size (0.5->3mm) means their contribution to the overall planktonic biomass is usually small (<5%). Most species appear to be detritivores, seemingly adapted to exploit marine snow and other sinking particulates. The group frequently goes unreported, because there is a perception that they are difficult to identify, and so they are overlooked. This difficulty is more the result of a lack of good manuals of identification, rather than any greater intrinsic difficulty of identifying them compared with most other components of the plankton. As well as the halocyprids, there are eight very striking species of carnivorous deepwater myodocopids (i.e. Gigantocypris and Macrocypridina ) that are planktonic, but only two have been recorded from the Southern Ocean.
In preparing this atlas, we have compiled a complete inventory of published records for all known species that can be geo-positioned with reasonable accuracy. These data have been supplemented with a considerable body of unpublished data derived from material collected by Discovery Investigations mostly in the 1930's (identified by MVA). Our aim is ultimately to generate a global atlas for all the species. Here as an initial step we have focused on the species that have been recorded from the Southern Ocean . The criterion whereby we have chosen to include species is a single reliable record from south of 52 deg S. This reduces the number of species that are predominantly associated with low latitudes, but are advected into higher latitudes via mesoscale eddies. Other authors have used lower latitudes to delimit Southern Ocean species, for example Razouls et al. (2000) in their study of the biogeography of Antarctic copepods used 45 deg S as the northern limit of the Southern Ocean. Our compilation for these 47 species illustrates crucial gaps in geographical coverage, notably in the North and Central Pacific and in the Southern Indian Oceans. A similar mapping exercise was undertaken by Hillman (1969) and included data from the expeditions of the era of heroic Antarctic exploration together with data from the Eltanin cruises conducted in 1983-1984. Hillman noted that only five halocyprid species were principally restricted to south of the Antarctic Convergence, but a further 17 species had been recorded there. His atlas charted the distributions of eleven species that had been taken regularly in plankton tows. Some of the data plotted by Hillman have been included in our plots, but we could not reconcile all his plotted positions with the listing of Eltanin stations. Similarly some of the records reported posthumously by Deevey (1983) could not be included. These omissions have not lead to a serious gap in coverage.
Our maps illustrate the dominant influence of the principle oceanic fronts and flows on the distributions of the individual species, and this highlights their possible value as biological markers. The maps also reveal some inconsistencies in the data. For example when plotting the data for Boroecia antipoda, a few records from tropical seas derived from material collected during the Dana Expedition (Poulsen, 1975) were clearly anomalous. We have re-examined these specimens and found then to be a new species, albeit very similar to B. antipoda, so these records have not been included in the map for this species.

Major components include the TAO/TRITON array in the Pacific, PIRATA in the Atlantic, and RAMA in the Indian Ocean. The major phenomenological foci of this array are: (i) El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific; (ii) The interhemispheric dipole mode, equatorial warm events, and hurricane activity in the Atlantic; (iii) The monsoons, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and intraseasonal variability in the Indian Ocean.
The referred web page provides 3-D animations for temperature, currents, SST, wind.
The Antarctic Seismic Data Library System for Cooperative Research (SDLS) was created in April 1991 under the auspices of SCAR to provide open access to all multichannel seismic reflection (MCS) data collected south of 60° S.
The SDLS functions under the mandates of the Antarctic Treaty (ATCM XVI-12), and as such, all institutions that collect MCS data in Antarctica must submit their data to the SDLS for use in cooperative research projects. MCS data are submitted to the SDLS within 4 years of collection and remain in the library under SDLS guidelines until 8 years after collection. Thereafter, the data are available for unrestricted use, although recognition of the data collector is requested.
The MCS data in the SDLS may be accessed at library branches worldwide. MCS data are supplied to SDLS branches in a 'final stack' version in digital SEG-Y format on CD/DVD-ROM where they can be viewed and studied, but may not be copied without permission of the data collector. The SDLS is a research facility and not a data bank; MCS data in the SDLS are for use in cooperative research projects, and may not be used for commercial purposes.
This latest version of the SDLS website has been completely rebuilt, adding new functionalities, interactive data viewers and a new metadata structure based on OGC standards O&M (ISO/DIN 19156) and SensorML. SVG interactive graphics are still used but there is no longer any need to use the Adobe plugin. This also removes the restriction of the type of browser to use; any regular browser is now acceptable. The portal is now based on the SNAP framework, which is a web-based infrastructure developed by OGS where geophysical data can be located, interactively previewed and accessed.

Abstract
The main purpose of this map collection is to illustrate, in general, where aquaculture is taking place. Characteristics that accompany the administrative units or individual farms include; cultured species, technology used, culture systems, environments, farm characteristics, production, quantities and values, seed input quantity and characteristics, and main issues (credit, diseases, environmental impact, etc.).
The collection also includes statistics on aquaculture production for 2009 and plans are underway to include statistics related to land and water use in aquaculture during 2012.
Maps are available at national level and at administrative level and/or when available, at an individual farm level.
The National production page includes a map on aquaculture production of aquatic animals for human consumption (tonnes) in 2009. Select one country from the map by clicking on that country or select from the drop-down lists to display the production statistics by country.
The Browse map page provides an up-to-date overview of the NASO maps currently available at administrative level and individual farm level. Simply click on one of the markers shown in the world map to display the corresponding map for the country being selected.
A Search by Country page gives the user the option of selecting the country by its name to display data at an administrative level or individual farm level.
An Advanced Search gives the user the option to select a country and then select some of the characteristics that accompany the administrative units or individual farms locations (e.g. cultured species, technology used, culture systems, etc).
Additional help ( show | hide )
The maps can be viewed in three modes: Map (streets); Satellite (a mosaic of images obtained by remote sensing) and Terrain (satellite images).
User can zoom and pan to any given location.
The icons representing the different Organism Divisions (fish, molluscs, crustaceans, seaweeds, other) at administrative level are located at the centre of the administrative unit, therefore they do not represent the position of the farm. Whereas, the icons representing the different Organism Divisions at an individual farm level are placed exactly were the individual farm is located.
Additional tools include: View in a larger map (displays the map in Google maps); View in Google Earth (automatically displays the map in Google Earth if Google Earth has been installed, for installation see http://earth.google.com/); and RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") allows Web users manage the NASO information being provided.

Argo Float Atlas in the Indian Ocean - Iranian National Center for Ocean Data (ODIS id: 12)
Study of the influence of physical, chemical and biological conditions in the damage and protection of Underwater Historical Heritage CTM2009-08668 and CTM2010-1636. The ARQUEOMONITOR Project, supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and FEDER (CTM2009-08668 and CTM2010-16363) studied in what grade, the generation, conservation or degradation of archaeological sites are influenced by marine environmental variables, employing two wrecks of the same chronology subjected to very different environmental conditions, Fougueux and Bucentaure (1805). In order to correlate the conservation status achieved at each site with the local marine environmental conditions we have studied the main physical, chemical and biological factors that can impact on the shipwreck materials. Also, modern samples of the materials usually found in these shipwrecks have been disposed at each site, and their evolution over time has been studied, preventing thus the alteration of archaeological remains. The results obtained allowed to develop new in situ methods for protection of deposits and its elements, and develop predictive models of permanence through knowledge of materials and analysis of risk factors imposed by the marine environment. By combining the major milestones of the project (environmental monitoring, degradation studies and methods of safeguarding) it has been developed a standardized Archaeological Management Plan which compares sites through the establishment of similarities and differences. Now, the results are being dumped into a Data Portal, which will facilitate access to the information for researchers from different areas of knowledge involved in the management of the Archaeological underwater heritage who try to predict short-term potential threats on deposits.

Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic - Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (ODIS id: 2953)
Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic - Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks
Welcome to the Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic. Arctic communities are actively involved with observing social and environmental change; this atlas was designed to showcase the many community-based monitoring (CBM) and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) initiatives across the circumpolar region.
While interest in community-based monitoring (CBM) is growing, there has been little coordination of initiatives at a circumpolar level. The Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic was initiated as a task of the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) to help address this gap. It is intended to serve as an inventory of initiatives that will assist with network building and identification of best practices and challenges for the field. A secondary phase of the project will draw on CBM initiatives inventoried by the atlas, as well as a literature review, and interviews and input from practitioners, to draft a review of the state of CBM in the Arctic.
CBM and TK initiatives are identified for the atlas through outreach by project collaborators and content partners. Many initiatives have provided information directly to the atlas, while in some cases, information was drawn from published articles or information that project Principal Investigators (PIs) have made publicly available on the Internet. In these cases, project PIs have been contacted to request permission to add them to the atlas.
Anticipated benefits of this project include: 1) Communities involved in monitoring will have an easier time connecting with one another and will have a better sense of how their approaches to monitoring fit within a wider context; 2) Researchers, funders, and other members of the Arctic monitoring community will better understand the role and potential of community-based monitoring.
The atlas is being developed under the direction of the Inuit Circumpolar Council in partnership with Brown University, the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA), and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami's Inuit Qaujisarvingat: Inuit Knowledge Centre. The atlas draws on the Nunaliit Atlas Framework hosted by Carleton University's Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre.
Additionally, a number of institutions are collaborating as "content partners" by assisting with identification of CBM and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) initiatives. Content partners include the European Commission through their "Study on Arctic Lay and Traditional Knowledge: Community-based Monitoring Programmes in the EU Arctic," implemented by the Nordic Agency for Development and Ecology (NORDECO). Additionally, the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and Alaska Sea Grant are assisting with identification of CBM initiatives in Alaska.
While the Atlas was initially developed with a focus on environmental monitoring programs, environmental change and social change in the Arctic are significantly connected. Additionally, many communities take a holistic perspective on change and emphasize connections and linkages between the environment and society. The atlas was designed to be flexible to allow mapping of social and environmental monitoring initiatives. As a pilot social monitoring focus, we are currently working on developing a Mental Health and Wellness map within the atlas that draws on the Circumpolar Inuit Health Priorities: Best Health Practices and Research, a report completed in 2012 by ICC-Canada. We envision expanding this map to include other health and wellness initiatives in the future.

Atlas of Oceanographic Data for Colombia 1922-2013. Temperature, salinity, density, geostrophic velocity
This document consists of a description of the treatment, processing and analysis of oceanographic data collected by the Colombian Navy and General Maritime Directorate in the Caribbean and Pacific waters of Colombia and neighboring basins, supplemented with data from the NODC database. The analysis is presented in maps of horizontal distributions for climatological fields of temperature, salinity, density and dynamic topographies at standard depths and calculations of geostrophic velocity in vertical profiles, based on data averaged in a grid of ½ degree of latitude and longitude. The purpose of the maps is to illustrate the characteristics of the distributions of these parameters in both basins. After comprehensive quality control of all available data, the fields used to generate climatological maps were calculated by analyzing statistics at 17 standard depths and plotted using DataInterpolating Variational Analysis (DIVA) for the printed material and using Optimal Interpolation for the digital application. Maps of mean distributions are presented for the overall data set and for decadal, annual, seasonal and monthly averages with corresponding standard deviations and standard error at standard depths down to 2500 m.

Atmospheric Dynamics - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (ODIS id: 654)
The Balearic RIssaga Forecasting System (BRIFS) aims to quantitatively predict the occurrence of extreme sea level oscillations associated with meteotsunamis in the Menorcan harbour of Ciutadella. Combining both atmospheric and oceanic modelling, the system is run once a day in the morning and provides a 48-hour prediction of air pressure disturbances and associated sea level response over the Balearic shelf and in Ciutadella harbour.
The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) is implemented in a two-nested-grid configuration over the Western Mediterranean basin, with a grid refinement (4km) over an area around the Balearic Islands extending to the South until the Algerian coast. Ninety-seven vertical levels are employed with a finer resolution in the lower levels to adequately resolve the characteristic inversion layer associated with Rissaga phenomena. Initial state and boundary conditions are prescribed from the synoptic atmospheric conditions described by the FNL/GFS analysis/forecast from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
WRF air pressure outputs with a 2-minute temporal resolution are used to force a two-nested grid configuration of the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS). ROMS is a 3D free-surface, split-explicit primitive equation model with Boussinesq and hydrostatic approximations. Due to the 2-dimensional nature of the processes involved in the build-up of the rissaga, BRIFS does not consider any density stratification. The larger domain covers the Balearic Islands with a horizontal resolution of 1km. It provides the boundary conditions to the inner domain, which covers the area around Ciutadella with a spatial resolution of 10m.
Further details of the system configuration can be found in Renault et al. (2011).

Baltic Sea Region Integrated Maritime Cultural Heritage Management Data Portal
The cultural heritage (CH) of the Baltic Sea is exceptionally versatile and well preserved even in a global comparison. To date, these cultural assets are barely included in Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Baltic Sea. The BalticRIM project aims to integrate cultural heritage resource management into MSP in the Baltic Sea, using the opportunity of the ongoing processes driven by the MSP Directive across all Baltic Sea Region (BSR) countries. It will contribute to some lacking dimension of sustainability in the MSP processes in the BSR, thereby closing gaps to support regional efforts and to become an international model of MSP implementation. BalticRIM aims to improve the capacity of regional and maritime cultural heritage (MCH) planning agencies by developing, testing and implementing new planning solutions, innovative ways of public participation as well as sectoral MCH concepts throughout the BSR.

Bimodal Seas around the English Coastline - Channel Coastal Observatory (ODIS id: 1570)
Bimodal Seas around the English Coastline - Channel Coastal Observatory
A sea state is typically composed of either wind-sea, swell-sea, or a combination of the two. Wind-seas are generated by local winds, while swell-seas generally have been generated in a distant storm and dispersed out of the generating area. A combination of sea and swell can produce bimodal sea conditions.
Data from Datawell directional Waverider buoys deployed by the National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England, plus data from 3 industry buoys kindly provided by RWE Innogy and Wave Hub Limited, together provide an opportunity to assess the extent of bimodal seas both spatially and temporally.
The monthly percentage of occurrence of bimodal sea conditions are given in the following spreadsheet, together with summary statistics for monthly, seasonal and annual occurrence. This document will be updated annually.
The method for deriving statistics for bimodal seas and an assessment of their occurrence around the English coastline are described in:

Biological Information System for Marine Life (ODIS id: 278)
The Biological Information System for Marine Life, in short BISMaL, is a web-based data system for biodiversity information, particularly in biogeographic data of marine organisms. BISMaL was constructed by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and is operated in the Global Oceanographic Data Center (GODAC) of JAMSTEC. BISMaL mainly collects information on marine organisms around Japan. And its aim is to open information of marine organisms to the public and to contribute to a better understanding of marine biodiversity.
BISMaL is an integrated data system including photographs, movies, distribution records, references, and brief descriptions of morphology/ecology of each species or its higher taxon. Although BISMaL is a data system of JAMSTEC, it also works as the system of the Japan Ocean Biodiversity Information System Center (J-OBIS), the Japan node of the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS). Data and information collected and integrated by J-OBIS are opened to the public and provided to OBIS through BISMaL. BISMaL is contributing to global data sharing and information exchange as well as working as a data system of JAMSTEC.

In the framework of EU-MC project SIMSEA, a modelling study has been initiated to validate the General Estuarine Transport Model (GETM) for Black Sea’s simulations. The model is forced with atmospheric data from the European Regional Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX), river runoff from Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) and is initialised with temperature and salinity 3D fields coming from the project MEDAR/MEDATLAS II. Simulations are performed in a closed basin configuration with boundary conditions at the Bosphorus strait ensuring a net zero water flux balance in the Black Sea. An accurate method to calculate the optical depth estimated from satellite data has been involved. The model has been validated against measured/calculated temperature and salinity fields. The simulations with our hydrodynamic model correctly capture the Black Sea’s hydrodynamics – the strong halocline at 70-150 m, the Cold Intermediate Layer (CIL) at ~70 m, the doming of the isohalines due to the cyclonic Rim current, sea surface temperature variation, etc. A new Black Sea Ecosystem Model (BSSM) is linked via the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM,) with our hydrodynamic model. The coupled physical-ecosystem modelling system has been also calibrated and validated for the Black Sea runs. The numerical experiments indicate that the biogeochemical components of the model rather successfully reproduce the main features and state variable evolution in the Black Sea ecosystem: the growth in phytoplankton biomass and changes in seasonal cycles of the main ecosystem components. It is concluded that the physical processes are important for a reliable reproduction of seasonal and inter-annual changes in the ecosystem.

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

Cefas WaveNet interactive map
WaveNet, Cefas’ strategic wave monitoring network for the United Kingdom, provides a single source of real-time wave data from a network of wave buoys located in areas at risk from flooding.
In operation since 2002, WaveNet collects and processes data from the Cefas-operated Datawell Directional Waverider buoys, tethered at strategic locations around the UK coastline. The WaveNet system also gathers wave data from a variety of third party platforms and programmes (industry and public sector-funded), all of which are freely available for visualisation on the WaveNet website.
Cefas sends the wave data to the Met Office (to help improve the wave and tidal surge model) and the National Flood Forecasting Service for access by the UK Coastal Flood Forecasting Service (UKCFF). Regional flood forecasters, local authorities and other stakeholders use the near-real time data from the buoys and the model predictions to provide better advice, guidance and warnings to emergency responders and communities about imminent coastal flood risk.
On a longer timescale, the data can provide coastal engineers and scientists with a better understanding of the wave climate when designing coastal flood defences and as evidence for climate change studies.
Some data are available for download from the WaveNet website; the procedure to access the data archive is available below. Please also see the Data Policy page for guidance on any restrictions on the use of the data.

CEOS International Directory Network IDN
The CEOS International Directory Network (IDN) is a Gateway to the world of Earth Science data. The CEOS IDN is an international effort developed to assist researchers in locating information on available datasets. The directory is sponsored as a service to the Earth science community.
CEOS was established in September, 1984 in response to a recommendation from a Panel of Experts on Remote Sensing from Space and set up under the aegis of the G7 Economic Summit of Industrial Nations Working Group on Growth, Technology, and Employment. This Panel recognized the multidisciplinary nature of space-based Earth observations and the value of coordinating international Earth observation efforts to benefit society.
Accordingly, the original function of CEOS was to coordinate and harmonize Earth observations to make it easier for the user community to access and use data. CEOS initially focused on interoperability, common data formats, the inter-calibration of instruments, and common validation and inter-comparison of products. However, over time, the circumstances surrounding the collection and use of space-based Earth observations have changed.
The number of Earth-observing satellites has vastly increased.
Onboard instruments are more complex and are capable of collecting new types of data in ever-growing volumes.
The user community has expanded and become more diverse as different data types become available and new applications for Earth observations are developed.
Users have become more organized, forming several international bodies that coordinate and levy Earth observation requirements.
In response to this changing environment, CEOS has evolved, becoming more complex and expanding the number and scope of its activities. In addition to its original charge, CEOS now focuses on validated requirements levied by external organizations, works closely with other satellite coordinating bodies (e.g. the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites, CGMS), and continues its role as the primary forum for international coordination of space-based Earth observations.
Over the past three decades, CEOS has significantly contributed to the advancement of space-based Earth observation community efforts. CEOS Agencies communicate, collaborate, and exchange information on Earth observation activities, spurring useful partnerships such as the Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS). CEOS played an influential role in the establishment and ongoing development of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). CEOS, through the major investments made by CEOS Agencies in developing the space segment of GEOSS, continues to provide space-based Earth observations in support of GEOSS implementation.
CEOS Agencies work together to launch multi-agency collaborative missions, and such cooperative efforts have highly benefited users all around the world. CEOS also provides an established means of communicating with external organizations, enabling CEOS to understand and act upon these organizations’ Earth observation needs and requirements.

Chilean Wave Atlas
Welcome to the wave information website of the School of Oceanic Civil Engineering of the University of Valparaíso .
On this site you will find statistical and forecast information for waves generated within the framework of the Fondef-Idea IT13I20006 project "A Wave Atlas for Chile".
The statistical information presented in the section "Atlas de Oleaje de Chile" was generated with the Wavewatch III v.4.18 model calibrated from satellite and buoy altimetry measurements, which was later corrected for systematic errors. This information corresponds to the best available on the project completion date and meets the main objective and motivation, which is to make the statistical behavior of the waves off the coast of Chile freely available.
The swell information from the Atlas was analyzed with a level of detail rarely seen. Thus, it was possible to characterize the operational and extreme wave climate, also including advanced technical aspects such as storm surge duration, storm trajectory, spectral shape, multimodality and uncertainty, among others.
The wave forecast is generated with the Wavewatch III model from NOAA operational forecast wind fields . Information is delivered in deep waters and in front of the mouth of the most important ports. Climate change projections were generated from global climate models whose bias was corrected using information from the Wave Atlas. The information on historical swells was compiled from bibliographic sources, press archives, and records of the Chilean Navy.
Degree memories , technical reports and publications in conferences and magazines support and complement the content presented in this document.

This information corresponds to the best available on the project completion date and meets the main objective and motivation, which is to make the statistical behavior of the waves off the coast of Chile freely available.
The swell information from the Atlas was analyzed with a level of detail rarely seen. Thus, it was possible to characterize the operational and extreme wave climate, also including advanced technical aspects such as storm surge duration, storm trajectory, spectral shape, multimodality and uncertainty, among others.
The wave forecast is generated with the Wavewatch III model from NOAA operational forecast wind fields . Information is delivered in deep waters and in front of the mouth of the most important ports. Climate change projections were generated from global climate models whose bias was corrected using information from the Wave Atlas. The information on historical swells was compiled from bibliographic sources, press archives, and records of the Chilean Navy.
Degree memories , technical reports and publications in conferences and magazines support and complement the content presented in this document.

CoastAdapt is an information delivery and decision support framework. It is for anyone with an interest in Australia’s coast, the risks it faces from climate change and sea-level rise, and what can be done to respond to those risks.
CoastAdapt contains information and guidance to help people from all walks of life understand climate change and the responses available to manage the impacts. Although there is a focus on Australia’s coastal regions, CoastAdapt also links the user to climate change resources on the NCCARF website and beyond that are relevant to Australia more broadly.
There are three datasets in Shoreline Explorer:
Sediment compartments (Section 1 in this document). This summarises the available
information on physical (i.e., ocean currents, geomorphology etc.) coastal risks for each
coastal compartment in Australia.
Smartline (Section 2). This comes in a basic version and an advanced version. It is by far the most complex of the datasets in CoastAdapt, so you may wish to try the basic version first. It provides information on erodibility of the coastline based on geology.
Water Observations from Space (Section 3). This provides information on present-day flood risk using satellite data.
Local government boundaries are also provided. You can look at more than one dataset at once. Each dataset has a horizontal slider bar below its name – this controls the transparency and opacity of the dataset. Sliding it to the left makes the data more transparent, and to the right more opaque.

Coastal Behavior - European Geological Data Infrastructure
The public availability of satellite data and new analytical tools for processing big data, such as the Google Earth Engine, enable us to look at coastline migration in a new way. Scripts for automated detection of the land-water boundary generate numerous data points for each part of the European coastline. When averaged by year and analyzed for a decadal period, these data points form the basis for a new pan-European coastline-migration map that covers a consistent time period relevant for present-day coastal-zone management, eliminates data gaps, and portrays a single coastline indicator that is assumed to correspond to the mid-tide land-water boundary. As part of EMODnet-Geology, Gerben Hagenaars at Deltares performed an analysis for tens of thousands of transects with a spacing of 500 meters, giving a map resolution of 1:1,000,000.

Want to know what the Australian coastline may look like in 2100? Coastal Risk Australia (CRA) has been developed to show you just that. It is an interactive map tool designed to communicate coastal inundation associated with sea level rise to the year 2100. Using Google Earth Engine technology, CRA allows you to investigate the extent of coastal inundation using the latest 3D models of the Australian coastline. Data have been captured using airborne LiDAR technology to create detailed digital elevation models (DEMs), which are then combined with ‘bucket-fill’ inundation modelling to create the map-based visualisations. This capability has been developed through long term investments and partnerships between FrontierSI and NGIS Australia. The DEMs which underpin the inundation models are now available for download from Geoscience Australia at http://www.ga.gov.au/elvis/.

Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis (CORA) (ODIS id: 801)
The CORA dataset (Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis) aims to diffuse all types of in-situ temperature and salinity measurements with a maximal sampling, including high frequency profilers (ARGO, CTD, etc...) surface and sub-surface timeseries (Thermosalinographs and surface drifters, etc...). The current version of the CORA dataset (CORA5.0) stands out from the previous version by the intake of millions profiles from the historical period (1950-1990) and the intake of year 2015 profiles from Coriolis. A very careful validation process is performed on the CORA measurements since the probably erroneous profiles are individually checked by an oceanographer which changes the data quality flags if necessary. This work flow reduces the amount of unnecessary flags leading to a better estimation of the ocean variability. Last, a correction is applied on the XBT measurement depth following the method bu Hamon et al. 2012. The CORA dataset is distributed by the Copernicus Marine and Environement Service online catalogue: Product User Manual and Documentation are also distributed by Copernicus.

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the most important places in the world for species and their habitats. Faced with a global environmental crisis we need to focus our collective efforts on conserving the places that matter most. The KBA Programme supports the identification, mapping, monitoring and conservation of KBAs to help safeguard the most critical sites for nature on our planet – from rainforests to reefs, mountains to marshes, deserts to grasslands and to the deepest parts of the oceans.

Data Portal - Global Earth Observation System of Systems' Platform
The Global Earth Observation System of Systems’ Platform (former GEOSS Common Infrastructure, or GCI) proactively links existing and planned observing systems around the world and supports the development of new systems where there are gaps. The GEOSS Platform promotes the use of common technical standards so that data from thousands of different instruments can be combined into coherent data sets.
The GEOSS Portal offers a single Internet access point to Earth observation data, information and knowledge from all over the world for users with different backgrounds and from different disciplines. The Portal has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface to discover, access and use the ever-growing quantities of GEO resources. Through the Portal, the GEOSS Platform connects the users to the wealth of heterogeneous collections of databases and other portals and provides reliable, up-to-date and user-friendly (current and historical) information – vital for the work of decision/policymakers, planners and emergency managers. Both the public and private sectors but as well citizens are served.
Users can discover data considering temporal, thematic and geographic search criteria, and apply progressive filtering to retrieve, quickly and accurately, the resources they need. Information regarding the data can be inspected either via an information window or visually on different background maps if enabled before download.
For users with limited or no access to the Internet, there are regions making similar information available via the satellite service, GEONETCast. The GEOSS Platform is a brokering infrastructure.
The GEO Discovery and Access Broker (GEO DAB) is the primary mechanism by which all data and information is discovered and accessed. The GEO DAB implements the necessary mediation and harmonization services through Application Program Interfaces (APIs). These APIs allow data providers to share resources without having to make major changes to their technology or standards.
Presently GEOSS Platform brokers more than 150 autonomous data catalogs and information systems, useful for the different GEO Societal Benefit Areas including data from: CAFF, Data.gov, Data.uk, EEA, GBIF, Iris, JRC Open Data catalog, NASA, NCAR, NOAA, OCHA HDX, RCMRD, UNEP, UNOSAT, USGS, Web Energy Services, WMO WIS and many more.
Data providers are constantly being added and brokered, according to user needs, the thematic and geographic balance of the data and relevance of resources shared.

Datasets - Map of Life
Geographic information about biodiversity is vital for understanding the many services nature provides and their potential changes, yet remains unreliable and often insufficient. Built on a scalable web platform geared for large biodiversity and environmental data, Map of Life endeavors to provide ‘best-possible’ species range information and species lists for any geographic area. Map of Life aims to support effective and global biodiversity education, monitoring, research and decision-making by assembling and integrating a wide range of knowledge about species distributions and their dynamics over time.
Data: the Map of Life assembles and integrates different sources of data describing species distributions worldwide. These data include expert species range maps, species occurrence points, ecoregions, and protected areas from providers like IUCN, WWF, GBIF, and more. All data assets are stored, managed, backed up, and accessed using a hosted cloud instance.

ReefBase is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), as well as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The ReefBase Project is housed at the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, with funding through ICRAN from the United Nations Foundation (UNF).
ReefBase's Online Geographic Information System (ReefGIS) allows you to display coral reef related data and information on interactive maps. You can zoom, search and query data layers, and save or bookmark the map. Selected datasets in ReefBase can be downloaded here.

Geographic Information Systems have become indispensable tools in managing and displaying marine data and information. However, a unique georeferenced standard of marine place names and areas was not available, hampering several marine geographic applications, for example the linking of these locations to databases to integrate data. The purpose of Marine Regions is therefore to create a standard, relational list of geographic names, coupled with information and maps of the geographic location of these features. This will improve access and clarity of the different geographic, marine names such as seas, sandbanks, ridges and bays and display univocally the boundaries of marine biogeographic or managerial marine areas.
Marine Regions is an integration of the VLIMAR Gazetteer and the VLIZ Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase. The VLIMAR Gazetteer is a database with geographic, mainly marine names such as seas, sandbanks, seamounts, ridges, bays or even standard sampling stations used in marine research. The geographic cover of the VLIMAR gazetteer is global but initially focused on the Belgian Continental Shelf and the Scheldt Estuary and the Southern Bight of the North Sea. Gradually more regional and global geographic information was added to VLIMAR and combining this information with the Maritime Boundaries database, representing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the world, led to the creation of marineregions.org.
Marine Regions is managed by the Flanders Marine Institute. Funding for the creation of the VLIMAR gazetteer was provided initially through the EU Network of Excellence MarBEF, but also other European initiatives such as Lifewatch provide the necessary funding for the maintenance and management of Marine Regions.
Marine Regions depends on data and knowledge sharing from global, European, regional and national data providers and relevant experts. By setting up Collaboration Agreements, data providers will benefit from belonging to the Marine Regions partnership as they would get increased visibility, gain access to a variety of data analysis services which will benefit from integration of several distributed spatial datasets, as well as enjoying the benefit of the creation of stable unique identifiers. An example template of a Collaboration Agreement can be found here. Please contact info@marineregions.org if your organisation is interested to explore this collaboration.

EarthData - Observing System Data and Information System
The Oceans discipline encompasses geophysical parameters that characterize the oceans (e.g., temperature, salinity, sea surface topography, chemistry/biology optics) as well as those physical processes operating within the Earth’s oceans and at its surface. Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) hold ocean data products describing many ocean processes including ocean circulations, winds, heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere and the interaction of solar radiation with the ocean. Sea ice products also are included in the discipline (in addition to being within the Cryosphere discipline). The primary DAACs for ocean products are the Physical Oceanography DAAC (PO.DAAC) and Ocean Biology DAAC (OB.DAAC). Sea ice products are provided by the Alaska Satellite Facility DAAC (ASF DAAC) and National Snow and Ice Data Center DAAC (NSIDC DAAC). Several other DAACs also hold Oceans data as they relate to their respective disciplines.

Electronic guide to the natural environment of the Caspian Sea (ODIS id: 266)
Electronic guide to the natural environment of the Caspian Sea
The Caspian Sea is inland and is located in an extensive continental depression on the border of Europe and Asia. The Caspian Sea has no connection with the ocean, which formally allows us to call it a lake, but it has all the features of the sea. It is elongated in the meridional direction and is located between 47 degrees. 07 minutes and 36 degrees. 33 minutes s.sh. and 45 degrees. 43 minutes and 54 degrees. 03 minutes v.d. The length of the sea along the meridian is about 1200 km, the average width is 310 km. The sea area at a level mark of 27.5 m BS is 386.4 thousand km.
textPhysically and geographically and according to the nature of the underwater relief, the sea is divided into three parts: northern, middle, and southern. The conditional border between the northern and middle parts runs along the line of Chechen Island - Cape Tyub-Karagan, between the middle and southern parts - along the line of Chechen Island. Residential - M. Kuuli.
The northern part of the sea is shallow, its average depth is 5 - 6 m, maximum depths of 15 - 20 m are located on the border with the middle part of the sea. The bottom relief is complicated by the presence of banks, islands, Borozdin.
The middle part of the sea is a separate basin, the area of the maximum depths of which - the Derbent depression - is shifted to the western coast. The average depth of this part of the sea is 190 m, the greatest is 788 m. The western slope of the Derbent depression is narrow and steep, the eastern slope is strongly stretched. The bottom of the depression is a slightly sloping plain with depths mainly from 400 to 600 m.
The southern part of the sea is separated from the middle Absheron threshold, which is a continuation of the Main Caucasian ridge. The depths above this underwater ridge do not exceed 180 m. The deepest part of the South Caspian Basin with a maximum depth of 1025 m for the sea is located east of the Kura delta. Several underwater ridges up to 500 m high rise above the bottom of the basin.
Meteorological conditions in different parts of the Caspian Sea are not the same due to its large meridional length. The northern part of the sea is characterized by the prevalence of east and south-east winds for most of the year. In the middle part, winds of the northwestern and southeastern directions prevail, in the area of the Absheron Peninsula due to the orographic effect - the winds of the northern and southern directions. In the southern part of the sea, north and north-east winds prevail in the south-west, north-west winds prevail in the extreme south-east in winter, and south-east in summer.
Strong and stormy winds, mainly of northwestern and southeastern directions, are observed most often in spring and winter near the western coast of the Middle Caspian, especially in the area of the Absheron Peninsula.
Average annual air temperatures vary from 10 degrees C in the northern part of the sea to 17 degrees C in the south. The coldest month is January, the warmest are July and August.
The distribution of precipitation over the sea area is extremely uneven. At the western coast of the southern part of the sea, it ranges from 65 (Oil Rocks) to 1250 mm per year (Lankaran zone). North of the Absheron Peninsula, the amount of precipitation is 400 - 430 mm. The eastern coast is dry, the maximum amount of precipitation does not exceed 15 - 20 mm.
Ice appears in the northern part of the sea every November. In severe winters, the entire water area of the northern part is covered with ice; in mild winters, the ice stays in shallow water within the 2 - 3 meter isobath. The appearance of ice in the middle and southern parts of the sea occurs in December - January.
The water temperature is subject to latitudinal changes, most pronounced in winter, when the temperature changes from 0 - 0.5 degrees C at the ice edge in the north of the sea to 10 - 11 degrees C in the south, i.e. the difference in water temperature is about 10 degrees C. The summer period is characterized by horizontal uniformity in the temperature distribution in the surface layer: in the middle part of the sea 24 - 25 degrees C, in the southern part 25 - 26 degrees C, in the southeast up to 27 - 28 degrees. C. The maximum water temperature is observed in August. Seasonal changes in water temperature are noticeable in the upper 100-meter layer. In the bottom layers of the sea, the temperature during the year is about 4.5 degrees C in the middle part and 5.8 - 5.9 degrees. From the south.
The salinity of water changes especially sharply in the northern part of the sea: from 0.1 ‰ in the mouth areas of the Volga and the Urals to 10 -11 ‰ on the border with the Middle Caspian. In the middle and southern parts of the sea, salinity fluctuations are small. Basically, it is 12.6 - 13.0 ‰, increasing from north to south and from west to east. Salinity increases insignificantly with depth (by 0.1 - 0.2.).
The level of the Caspian Sea is subject to significant fluctuations due to changes in the water balance and, above all, in the Volga runoff. During the historical time, sea level has undergone significant fluctuations, continuing in modern conditions. The annual course of the level is characterized by a maximum in June - July and a minimum in February. The range of intra-annual fluctuations is 30 - 35 cm. Surge fluctuations of the level are manifested throughout the sea, but they are most significant in the shallow northern part, where, with maximum surges, the level can increase by 2.0 - 4.5 m, with surges, decrease by 1, 0 - 2.5 m.

Environmental Mapping and Data - Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
BOEM’s Office of Environmental Programs (OEP) assesses resource information for over 1.7 million acres of Federal waters, encompassing energy resources (conventional oil and gas and wind) and vast mineral deposits, including valuable sand and gravel and other seabed minerals. Maps and other spatial visualization tools help BOEM scientists consider geographic data and information (e.g., location and distance) to effectively conduct thorough, timely, and effective environmental assessments. For example, integrating whale sighting locations and distances from industry infrastructure into a map of other natural resources makes it easier for scientists to perform accurate impact analyses, recommend effective mitigations, and present this information to decision makers.

ERSP on hydrometeorological regime of the Laptev Sea
The electronic regime reference manual (ERS) on the hydrometeorological regime of the Laptev Sea is a reference book containing information on the climatic characteristics of the marine environment of the sea.
The ERSP was prepared on the basis of the initial domestic and foreign data of hydrometeorological observations accumulated in the State Fund of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "VNIIGMI-MCD" for a long time period.
The ERA is aimed at a wide range of users associated with the study and practical use of the natural resources of the oceans and seas. It contains extensive tabular and cartographic materials without their textual scientific analysis and does not replace other climatic publications of similar topics. It also presents a general climatic description of the region under study, prepared based on materials.
The ERSP is based on the calculated data of operating characteristics in the coastal zone of the sea, obtained from the results of urgent observations at the network of coastal hydrometeorological stations (GMR) and posts (GMP), and data from oceanographic and marine hydrometeorological observations in the open part of the Laptev Sea, including secular stations. cuts. As design parameters of the marine environment, we used such characteristics as water and air temperature, salinity, conditional water density, sea level, wind and wave characteristics, oxygen content, and sound speed.
In terms of structure, the ERSP consists of three parts. Its first part provides general background information on the sources of information that forms the basis of calculations. For the coastal zone of the sea, a map is given with the location of coastal observation points, as well as passport data on the GMR (names of stations, their code numbers, coordinates, and observation periods). For the open sea, maps of the water area illumination by observations and reference tables, respectively, for ship hydrometeorological and deep-sea oceanographic observations with the number and period of observations for individual one-degree squares of Marsden and stations of secular sections are provided.
In the second part of the ERSP, tabular and graphic materials with the climatic characteristics of the coastal zone of the Laptev Sea are given, containing the calculated data of the average and extreme values of the parameters and their recurrence over long-term months, as well as characteristics of the interannual variability of the parameters.
The third part of the ERSP contains the results of calculations of the climatic characteristics of the marine environment of the open sea with the presentation of maps of the calculated hydrometeorological and oceanographic fields on the sea surface and on individual observation horizons. In a tabular form, for all one-degree squares and stations of secular sections, statistics of monthly average and extreme values of parameters at standard horizons are given. In general, for the entire water area of the sea, the recurrences of parameter values for multiyear months and their annual variation were calculated.
The ERSP has a laser disk with the results of climatic data processing and a software application for accessing them and is supplemented by an NTML version oriented to a standard Internet browser.

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.

Events and Probabilities - European Geological Data Infrastructure
These datasets represent a systematic collection of harmonised data concerning geological events. The current update consists of 12 new GIS layers at a resolution of 1:100,000 scale concerning earthquakes, submarine landslides, volcanoes, tsunamis, fluid emissions and Quaternary tectonics, subdivided according to their geometry (polygons, points and lines). These products complement and update the 1:250,000 scale GIS layers already displayed on the Portal. They provide information on the type of events which have taken place in the past and might potentially occur again, including dimensions, state of activity, morphological type and lithology.
The elaboration of guidelines to compile GIS layers was aimed at identifying parameters to be used to thoroughly characterise each event. Particular attention has been devoted to the definition of the Attribute tables in order to achieve the best degree of harmonisation and standardisation complying with the European INSPIRE Directive.

FloatViz 6.0 - Apex/ISUS Data Visualization - Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Instititute
Floats data visualisation interface. Current records of fundamental ocean properties such as oxygen, pH, nutrients, or chlorophyll describe a range of ocean states. However, the sample-to-sample variability observed in ocean time series may not necessarily reflect actual trends at any given location and time because so few measurements are collected for extended periods and in rapid succession. Furthermore, the limited sampling provides little scientific insight into the processes that actually underlie the snapshot observations.
Developing new tools and techniques to overcome these challenges is a major driver of Ken Johnson’s Chemical Sensor Group activities. Application of this approach in Elkhorn Slough, near MBARI in Central California, highlights some of the advances in understanding when sampling resolution is more closely matched to environmental processes. Opportunities for deploying analogous sensor suites in the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean provide another perspective on how we can address the fundamental problem of “being there”.

Abstract
Geoinformation portal is a geographic information portal where you can consult, view and download thematic cartography of different scales generated and compiled by CONABIO. Open-source software was used to develop this portal.
The main characteristics of the portal are to develop access mechanisms to CONABIO's geographic data collections through specialized information services, such as:
- Graphic view of the information by general topics.
- Detailed information on cartography available through metadata searches.
- Download information in a compatible format ( shapefile )
- The cartographic information is administered by the Geographic Information Systems Sub-Directorate.
The consultation of this information is made through a general classification of topics, under the following headings: SNIB, Biodiversity, Topography, Hydrology, Edaphology geology, Climatology, Vegetation and land use, Political division, Population, Infrastructure, Regionalization, Satellite products, Risk, Production.

GeoNetwork - FAO
FAO GeoNetwork's purpose is to improve access to and integrated use of spatial data and information, to support decision making, to promote multidisciplinary approaches to sustainable development, and to enhance understanding of the benefits of geographic information.
GeoNetwork opensource allows us to easily share geographically referenced thematic information between different organizations.
The FAO GeoNetwork provides Internet access to interactive maps, satellite imagery and related spatial databases maintained by FAO and its partners.
It's purpose is to improve access to and integrated use of spatial data and information.
Through this website FAO facilitates multidisciplinary approaches to sustainable development and supports decision making in agriculture, forestry, fisheries and food security.
Maps, including those derived from satellite imagery, are effective communicational tools and play an important role in the work of various types of users:
Decision Makers: e.g. Sustainable development planners and humanitarian and emergency managers in need of quick, reliable and up to date user-friendly cartographic products as a basis for action and better plan and monitor their activities.
GIS Experts in need of exchanging consistent and updated geographical data.
Spatial Analysts in need of multidisciplinary data to perform preliminary geographical analysis and reliable forecasts to better set up appropriate interventions in vulnerable areas.
The FAO GeoNetwork allows to easily share spatial data among different FAO Units, other UN Agencies, NGO's and other institutions.
The FAO GeoNetwork site is powered by GeoNetwork opensource.
FAO and WFP, UNEP and more recently OCHA, have combined their research and mapping expertise to develop GeoNetwork opensource as a common strategy to effectively share their spatial databases including digital maps, satellite images and related statistics. The three agencies make extensive use of computer-based data visualization tools, known as Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) software, mostly to create maps that combine various layers of information. GeoNetwork opensource provides them with the capacity to access a wide selection of maps and other spatial information stored in different databases around the world through a single entry point.
GeoNetwork opensource has been developed to connect spatial information communities and their data using a modern architecture, which is at the same time powerful and low cost, based on the principles of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and International and Open Standards for services and protocols (a.o. from ISO/TC211 and OGC).

Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network Data Portal
GOA-ON works to improve our understanding of global ocean acidification conditions and ecosystem responses by making ocean acidification data easily accessible.
The GOA-ON Data Explorer provides access and visualization to ocean acidification data and data synthesis products being collected around the world from a wide range of sources, including moorings, research cruises, and fixed time series stations. Layers contain contoured world-wide data; Platforms include icons for various observing assets, some of which display real-time data and many of which include links to data and metadata. For a given asset measuring carbonate chemistry, metadata includes information on which parameters are measured, links to data providers, and other useful details. The inventory of GOA-ON assets can be searched interactively by region, platform type, and variables by using the Filters tool.

The Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) is an international archive of data up to 200 years old and fosters multinational and global long-term hydrological studies. Originally established three decades ago, the aim of the GRDC is to help earth scientists analyse global climate trends and assess environmental impacts and risks. Operating under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) the database of quality controlled “historical” mean daily and monthly discharge data grows steadily and currently comprises river discharge data of more than 9500 stations from 161 countries.
The exchange of hydrological data and information on a global scale is the principal reason for operating GRDC. National Hydrological and Hydro-Meteorological Services as primary providers of river discharge data and associated metadata and the scientific research community utilising this unique data collection are partners connected by GRDC. Positioned as a facilitator for exchanges between data providers and data users, the GRDC has become a focal point for international cooperation. Researchers, universities and other organizations make use of the facilities available for research programmes and projects.

The Mediterranean is one of the busiest seas in the world in terms of traffic. Even if it covers only 0.7% of the total sea surface in the world, it hosts 30% of the overall international maritime traffic. Sea pollution by oil, hazardous & noxious substances can happen at any time and any place, especially along the main maritime routes, and loading and unloading terminals, where the likelihood of marine environment pollution is the highest. On average, there are annually 60 accidents on the Mediterranean, out of which 15 result from maritime accidents of tankers transporting petroleum or chemicals. In this context, the Adriatic Sea is no exception, especially since it represents a narrow and shallow basin along which petroleum transport is directed towards transit ports mainly situated in the northernmost part of Adriatic. According to statistical data, tankers sail into the Adriatic Sea almost 5,000 times a year, out of which 3,500 times into the port of Trieste alone, where more than half of the total petroleum cargo designated for the Adriatic maritime route is unloaded yearly. To date, numerous studies shows the exposure of the Adriatic Sea to accidents which showed that the pressure from the merchant navy is higher here than in areas with heavy maritime traffic. Over the past 15 years, a total of 174 accidents has been recorded on the Adriatic, none of which was of catastrophic proportions, but nevertheless some of the accidents have made a mark on the maritime traffic & served as a warning that a joint cooperation at all levels is necessary for a prompt and efficient response. One of those accidents took place in 2008 and involved a Turkish vessel UND ADRIYATIK. It ended without serious environmental consequences, but this was more due to a series of fortunate circumstances than the successful performance of the Adriatic response teams. Lack of preparedness of regions and counties on the Adriatic was evident not only in the insufficient equipment and poorly trained personnel, but also in the delayed deployment to the site of the accident which can be attributed to the poor coordination between the competent bodies involved in the implementation of contingency plans on the Adriatic, which in turn stems from the fact that response procedures within contingency plans both at the national and regional level are not harmonized. The basic problems in the cross-border area lie in the facts that the general and specific regulations are not harmonized and that response teams for contingencies at sea are not adequately trained nor prepared. Furthermore, only 4 out of 6 Adriatic states have adopted their own national contingency plans in event of accidental sea pollution by oil, hazardous & noxious substances, while regional contingency plans are practically non-existent. Finally, education and training for the staff involved in the national or regional response mechanism is demanding basis of any good and efficient contingency planning at sea
Main objectives of the HAZADR projects are:
Upgrade the knowledge framework on the estimated environmental and socio-economic risks in the most vulnerable Adriatic areas due to natural and human-induced factors.
Support decision-making process in preventing, reacting and overcoming emergencies (also for the benefit of countries not directly involved in the project but treated by oil spillage contamination in case of shipwrecks or collisions).
Harmonize, improve and shorten deployment time of the cross-border reaction capacity in the toxic and hazardous substances spill by enhancing the coordination / reaction capacity in the Adriatic EUROREGION.
Set up a common database on the state of readiness and spatial distribution of pollution preventing equipment along the Adriatic coasts as well as the improvement of the operational instruments and oil spill mitigation programs to cope with the environmental and technological hazards.
Improve, through cross-border joint exercises in Adriatic and the establishment of an Adriatic Training and Research Centre, the cross-border coordination reaction capacity.
Improve an early warning system through a joint radar monitoring program based on a set of radar systems and VHF devices, leading to an advanced capacity of the entrusted Euroregion actors to identify potential sources of risks menacing ecosystems.

INA Seismic Microzonation Information System - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (ODIS id: 661)
INA Seismic Microzonation Information System - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics
The Indonesian territory has a high level of vulnerability to earthquakes because it is located in the junction area of 3 large plates, namely the Eurasian Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, the Pacific Plate and also the number of faults that stretch across the region causing Indonesia. One of the efforts to mitigate earthquake disasters is to conduct earthquake hazard microzonation efforts. The Center for Research and Development of BMKG has carried out ongoing research in the field of earthquake microzonation with the aim of obtaining information on the level of earthquake hazard in an area based on measured microtremor parameter values, among others carried out in the Sukabumi area (2009), Bantul (2010), Padang (2011) ), Cilacap (2012), Kulonprogo (2014), Tasikmalaya (2017), and Garut (2018). This study tries to make a prototype of the seismic microzonation information system research results from the BMKG Research and Development Center in a web-based spatial information system called InaSMIS (Indonesia Seismic Microzonation Information System). InaSMIS contains information on the analysis of microtremor survey results, including the value of the dominant period (fo), the amplification factor (Ao), the Seismic Vulnerability Index (Kg), Vs30, the Probability Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) which states the level of earthquake hazard in an area. InaSIMS is still being developed in the research stage and is not yet an operational service for BMKG. In the future, InaSMIS is expected to be a source of public information to determine the level of earthquake hazard in Indonesian territory.

Indonesia In-house Radar Integration System - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (ODIS id: 662)
Indonesia In-house Radar Integration System - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics
In 2017, BMKG has 41 weather radars covering most of Indonesia region and most of its data are automatically sent to the BMKG headquarter every 10 minutes. There are four different weather radar brands with its specific data format and software analysis. In recent years, the weather radar community has developed open-source software to handle several radar data formats. Based on this, BMKG has developed the Indonesia In-House Radar Integration System (InaRAISE) of BMKG using the open-source weather radar software. InaRAISE has been developed using Python-based libraries Wradlib and Py-ART for processing weather radar data. BMKG radar data have been successfully extracted and transformed into Cartesian coordinates for post-processing. The multiple radars have been successfully composited by comparing column-maximum reflectivity. Web-based near real-time radar images has been experimentally operated, but not officially launched. The main constraint is the susceptible communication network between radar sites and BMKG headquarter causing real-time data transfer problems. InaRAISE serves feasible data radar extraction for data assimilation in the numerical weather prediction model. InaRAISE could serve as a supporting of the existing radar integration system or possibly as a replacement.

Integrated Mapping for the Sustainable Development of Ireland’s Marine Resource
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.

JCOMM in situ Observations Programme Support Centre
The global ocean observing system delivers more than 1 million daily observations to a rapidly growing number of users and stakeholders, including most major ocean, weather, and climate prediction centers around the world. The analyses, forecasts, and products based on these ocean observations are the bedrock of decisions across an increasing swath of socio-economic sectors, especially in marine transportation, coastal communities, climate, agriculture, and healthy oceans.
The global ocean observation system has significant complexity, including full depth oceanic and atmospheric observations, requiring tools and resources to coordinate within and amongst communities of observers from over 100 countries around the world. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)-Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Joint Centre for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology in situ Observations Programmes Support (OceanOPS, formerly named JCOMMOPS), grew out of the need for improved technical coordination across a number of such communities, e.g. to assist in deploying observing programs (such as Argo floats and drifters); assist in developing and tracking timely exchange of data and metadata; and to monitor the status and growth of the system. OceanOPS has grown in prominence and visibility over the past 10 years. It has become increasingly central to the coordination of the global ocean observing enterprise, leading to ever-increasing interests and expectations amongst current and potential stakeholders.
OceanOPS acts as a focal point for implementation and operation of relevant observing platforms. The Centre which is located in Brest (France) is funded thanks to voluntary contributions from IOC/UNESCO and WMO Member States, through the marine observing programmes and panels such as Argo, DBCP, OceanSITES, GO-SHIP, SOT, GLOSS, OceanGliders.

Large Marine Ecosystems
The LMEs produce about 80 of the annual world s marine fisheries catch. Globally they are centers of coastal ocean pollution and nutrient overenrichment habitat degradation e.g. sea grasses corals mangroves overfishing biodiversity loss and climate change effects. Large Marine Ecosystems LMEs are relatively large areas of ocean space of approximately 200 000 km or greater adjacent to the continents in coastal waters where primary productivity is generally higher than in open ocean areas.

LITTERBASE - Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research
LITTERBASE provides information about the amount and distribution of litter and microplastic and interactions between aquatic life and marine litter. LITTERBASE summarises results from 1 960 scientific studies in understandable global maps and figures and opens scientific knowledge on marine litter to the public.
Large amounts of litter have accumulated across all parts of our oceans in less than fifty years. Litter has thus become a serious threat to the marine environment, aquatic life and humankind, whose welfare is closely linked with ocean health. Research on marine litter is currently taking a great leap forward and has substantially increased our knowledge of the amount and composition of litter as well as its impacts on the marine environment, aquatic life and people. However, the sheer number of studies scattered all around the globe has rendered this topic increasingly intangible making it difficult for policy makers, public authorities, media and the general public to unearth important information needed to address the urgent questions. LITTERBASE summarises results from 2,044 scientific studies in understandable global maps and figures and opens scientific knowledge on marine litter to the public.

LOBOViz 3.0 - LOBO Network Data Visualization - Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
The Land-Ocean Biogeochemical Observatory (LOBO) consists of robust moorings that can withstand tidal currents and weather. The moorings are highly configurable, can be deployed in waters as shallow as 0.5 m, are relatively easy to maintain, and accommodate a complete array of standard and novel sensors. The sensors communicate with an on-board controller which relays data to shore in near-real time: LOBOViz 3.0 - LOBO Network Data Visualization. Up to five LOBO moorings have been simultaneously deployed and maintained in Elkhorn Slough, California, since November 2003. Continuous hourly data of biological, chemical, and physical properties are relayed to shore, processed, and disseminated to users through a web interface in near-real time.
The instrumentation in the LOBO project is a combination of commercially available and ‘in house’ technology. Combined with a mooring system that allows for long term deployment and rapid data transmission through a wireless LAN, the sensors can return near-real time information for extended deployment periods.

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.

Maps - International Seabed Authority
Shapefiles of the maps are grouped by minerals polymetallic nodules (PMN), polymetallic sulphides (PMS), and cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts (CFC). Area maps show the complete list of contractors, individual contractor maps by mineral and the relevant ocean.
The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is an autonomous international organization established under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1994 Agreement).
ISA is the organization through which States Parties to UNCLOS organize and control all mineral-resources-related activities in the Area for the benefit of mankind as a whole. In so doing, ISA has the mandate to ensure the effective protection of the marine environment from harmful effects that may arise from deep-seabed related activities.
ISA which has its headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica, came into existence on 16 November 1994, upon the entry into force of UNCLOS. ISA became fully operational as an autonomous international organization in June 1996, when it took over the premises and facilities in Kingston, Jamaica previously used by the United Nations Kingston Office for the Law of the Sea.
In accordance with article 156 (2) of UNCLOS, all States Parties to UNCLOS are ipso facto members of ISA. As of 1 May 2020, ISA has 168 members, including 167 member States and the European Union.
The Area and its resources are the common heritage of mankind. The Area covers around 54 per cent of the total area of the world’s oceans.

Maps and KML Tools - International Ocean Discovery Program
IODP provides pdf, jpg, and eps maps of drilled sites from all scientific ocean drilling programs through the JOIDES Resolution Science Operator. To add and visualize data in Google Earth, IODP also maintains the following kml files:
The Drilled Holes file shows the location of all holes drilled during the scientific ocean drilling programs. Clicking a borehole location in Google Earth provides links to the related expedition publications. This file was last updated with available data in March 2021.
The Scheduled Expeditions file reflects decisions as of March 2021 and shows the location of all proposed sites for planned expeditions. The data is collected from the expedition’s Scientific Prospectus or, if the Scientific Prospectus was not available, the drilling proposal. Clicking on a site location in Google Earth reveals the expedition name, site name and coordinates, planned expedition dates, original proposal number, platform, co-chiefs, and a link to the expedition website. Once the Preliminary Report for the expedition is published, the expedition is moved to the Drilled Holes file.
The Proposed Sites file shows the location of all sites in Active Proposals under review or awaiting schedule as of March 2021. Sites from declined proposals are not included. Clicking on a site location in Google Earth reveals the proposal name, site name and coordinates, lead proponent, review stage, and proposed platform. Sites from revisions, updates, and addenda might not be included.

Maps and spatial information - International Council for the Exploration of the Sea
Maps and spatial layers are used in ICES to aid in the organization of data into something more than a collection of numbers and coordinates. ICES manages a number of maps related to the Northeast Atlantic, these are used extensively by the expert groups for the planning of data collection and the visualization of data. We also work closely with the regional sea conventions to offer a selection of their map products through our spatial facility.
Maps can be downloaded as digital shape files.

Map Server - Pacific Marine Arctic Regional Synthesis Data Archive
PacMARS is the Pacific Marine Arctic Regional Synthesis project, a research synthesis effort funded by the North Pacific Research Board whose goal is to provide guidance for scientific research needs in the region, as well as to serve stakeholder needs for understanding this important ecosystem and its vulnerabilities.
PacMARS focuses on facilitating new synergies in the understanding of the marine ecosystem in the greater Bering Strait region, extending from Saint Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea through the Bering Strait into the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Existing data sets which are critical for evaluating the current state of knowledge of this marine ecosystem, including human dimensions, are identified and synthesized into this data archive.
The PacMARS effort will contribute to NPRB's overall mission to promote the understanding of north Pacific ecosystems in order to help enable effective management and sustainable use of marine resources, from subsistence use to fisheries to industrial exploration and development. PacMARS is working in collaboration with other knowledge synthesis efforts, such as Arctic Research (SOAR) that is underwritten by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
This data archive provides access to all PacMARS data. Welcome to the archive!
The PacMARS project area in the Pacific Arctic region extends from St. Lawrence Island in the northern Bering Sea over the Chukchi Sea westward to 180° and eastward in the Beaufort Sea to 135°W. The northern limit extends to 75°N. The PacMARS raw data sets will sometimes include data in the Pacific area beyond those boundaries (e.g. south of St. Lawrence Island and into the Eastern Siberian Sea), but the core project area is as described above.
The PacMARS mapserver contains a layer indicating the project area as represented with a bounding box. This layer is turned on by default. To turn off this layer, uncheck the layer labeled “PacMARS Study Area” under the “Base Layers” group in the left-hand side of the page.

Mapviewer - European Marine Observation and Data Network Physics
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.
Acquisition of these physical parameters is largely an automated process based on a “federated” network infrastructure linking data providers and other marine data aggregating infrastructure. In particular, EMODnet Physics is strongly federated with two other European data aggregating infrastructures. One is the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service - In Situ Thematic Assembly Centre for operational data flow, while historical validated datasets are organised in collaboration with SeaDataNet and its network of National Oceanographic Data Centres. The NRT data go through a stricter quality control before NODCs validate the datasets for long-term storage and stewardship. This validation process ends when the metadata of the processed dataset are published in a CDI (Common Data Index). CMEMS-INSTAC and SDN-NODC subsets are integrated with other available sources to make the most comprehensive physical parameter data catalogues available. Thanks to international collaborative relationships to provide data access to – and preview for – coastal data in non-European areas (e.g. NOAA platforms for the US, IAPB platforms for the Arctic area, IMOS for Australia and others), EMODnet Physics catalogues are going beyond European borders to offer an even more exhaustive entry point to global-ocean physical observations.

Marine Litter Viewing and Downloading Service - European Marine Observation and Data Network Chemistry (ODIS id: 498)
Marine Litter Viewing and Downloading Service - European Marine Observation and Data Network Chemistry
The first pan European Marine Litter Database (MLDB) has been developed by EMODnet Chemistry. The database contains data of beach and sea floor litter from a variety of sources, including existing International and Regional Sea Conventions, and data submitted by EU Member States, EMODnet partners and external research or monitoring projects. A majority of datasets were provided by existing monitoring projects which have published their data in project specific databases (i.e., OSPAR, ICES DATRAS). These databases may hold more and differently formatted information than is provided here, so direct comparison with these sources is not always possible.
Marine Litter Visualization Products are available through the Viewing and Downloading Service. The first release of the products include maps showing beach and sea floor surveys locations and summarized metrics of the MLDB content. Beach litter maps include temporal coverage of surveys, beach litter distribution (mean abundance per year) and beach litter composition (litter material categories in percentages). Sea floor litter maps show information about the fishing gear used, litter distribution along trawls (density as items/km2) and litter composition (material categories in percentages). Maps illustrating the distribution of relevant litter types are available for both beach litter (cigarette related items, fishing related items and plastic bags) and sea floor (fishing related items and plastic bags).

Marine Minerals - European Geological Data Infrastructure
EMODnet Geology’s marine minerals layers include all types of naturally occurring geological raw materials, metals and hydrocarbons known to accumulate in European sea regions. The 12 different types of marine minerals mapped for EMODnet Geology vary widely in types. Differing geological environments are reflected in the varied types of mineral accumulates found in the European marine environment.
Mapping the spatial extent of marine mineral occurrences within European waters allows us to communicate their extent visually, using one common data standard and at one common scale. It is hoped that these seabed mineral deposit maps will be useful to policy makers, planners, industry and society.

Marine Minerals Mapping and Data - Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
Whether we are talking about offshore oil and gas, offshore renewable energy, or offshore sand and gravel for coastal restoration projects, BOEM's mandate to manage 2.5 billion acres on the Outer Continental Shelf is no small task. Sometimes offshore sand resources are not extractable because of the presence of offshore ocean energy infrastructure, archaeologically sensitive areas, and/or biologically sensitive areas.
BOEM depends on data to make its decisions on how to reduce and avoid multiple use conflicts -- whether within the agency or with other ocean users, such as national security, ocean energy facilities, commercial and recreational fishing, ocean aquaculture, maritime commerce and navigation, tribal interests, critical undersea infrastructure and other ocean uses.
Below are links to data portals, maps and other information BOEM uses and contributes to in managing the Marine Minerals Program.

Marine Monitor (M2) is a lower cost solution for monitoring near-shore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), that uses off-the-shelf radars to provide 24/7 situational awareness.
Preserving marine protected areas (MPAs) is challenging since poaching and other activities can occur at night, in the early hours of the morning, and far offshore. Marine Monitor (M2) combines commercial-off-the-shelf marine radar hardware with a custom software solution written using open-source tools to track boat activity and illegal fishing in nearshore waters (out to 5 miles) at a fraction of the cost of traditional military-grade systems. The M2 software downloads radar data and mirrors it in a friendly user-interface that can be stored and replayed via the cloud. The M2 software can further improve MPA monitoring with the optional integration of a Automatic Identification System (AIS) sensor and high-definition pan-tilt-zoom video camera.

Marine Regions
Geographic Information Systems have become indispensable tools in managing and displaying marine data and information. However, a unique georeferenced standard of marine place names and areas was not available, hampering several marine geographic applications, for example the linking of these locations to databases to integrate data. The purpose of Marine Regions is therefore to create a standard, relational list of geographic names, coupled with information and maps of the geographic location of these features. This will improve access and clarity of the different geographic, marine names such as seas, sandbanks, ridges and bays and display univocally the boundaries of marine biogeographic or managerial marine areas.
Marine Regions is an integration of the VLIMAR Gazetteer and the VLIZ Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase. The VLIMAR Gazetteer is a database with geographic, mainly marine names such as seas, sandbanks, seamounts, ridges, bays or even standard sampling stations used in marine research. The geographic cover of the VLIMAR gazetteer is global but initially focused on the Belgian Continental Shelf and the Scheldt Estuary and the Southern Bight of the North Sea. Gradually more regional and global geographic information was added to VLIMAR and combining this information with the Maritime Boundaries database, representing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the world, led to the creation of marineregions.org.
Marine Regions is managed by the Flanders Marine Institute. Funding for the creation of the VLIMAR gazetteer was provided initially through the EU Network of Excellence MarBEF, but also other European initiatives such as Lifewatch provide the necessary funding for the maintenance and management of Marine Regions.
Marine Regions depends on data and knowledge sharing from global, European, regional and national data providers and relevant experts. By setting up Collaboration Agreements, data providers will benefit from belonging to the Marine Regions partnership as they would get increased visibility, gain access to a variety of data analysis services which will benefit from integration of several distributed spatial datasets, as well as enjoying the benefit of the creation of stable unique identifiers. An example template of a Collaboration Agreement can be found here. Please contact info@marineregions.org if your organisation is interested to explore this collaboration.

Marine Spatial Atlas for the Western Indian Ocean
MASPAWIO (Marine Spatial Atlas for the Western Indian Ocean) provides access to a range of marine spatial datasets, presenting layers valuable for marine spatial planning, management, and research. These datasets originate from a mix of primary and secondary sources, with MASPAWIO compiling and contributing information to regional and global repositories.
Founded in 2015 through a partnership with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and funded by the French Development Agency (AFD), MASPAWIO has received ongoing support from various projects, including those financed by WIOMSA and, more recently, by Norad. Under the Norad project, MASPAWIO aims to enhance knowledge management and promote marine spatial planning (MSP) within the Western Indian Ocean region. Each project contributes to the collection, compilation, or analysis of primary and secondary data, with outputs made accessible as spatial data layers on MASPAWIO.
The MASPAWIO portal also integrates ArcGIS Online applications, accessible at CORDIO East Africa, which enhance the diversity and delivery of spatial products in multiple formats.

Content developed on MASPAWIO will be pushed to end-user regional and global resources such as the Africa Marine Atlas, Nairobi Convention Clearing House Mechanisms, OBIS and GBIF, to maximize access to data from the WIO for multiple purposes. Mechanisms for accomplishing this will include the use of the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), generating data publications, and making this workflow accessible to researchers and partners within the WIO to improve visibility and use of their data.

Mid-Atlantic Ocean Data Portal - Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean
The Mid-Atlantic Ocean Data Portal is an online toolkit and resource center that consolidates available data and enables state, federal and local users to visualize and analyze ocean resources and human use information such as fishing grounds, recreational areas, shipping lanes, habitat areas, and energy sites, among others.
The portal includes Maps as well as a Data catalogue and links to other data resources.
The Governors of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia in 2009 signed the Mid-Atlantic Governors’ Agreement on Ocean Conservation. The Agreement established the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) as a partnership to address shared regional priorities and provide a collective voice.
With competing demands on our oceans at an all-time high, finding ways to engage all stakeholders in coastal and marine planning has never been more important. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) recognizes that a robust ocean data and information management system that includes a wide range of human use, environmental, socioeconomic and regulatory data will provide the building blocks for multi-use, regional-scale ocean planning.
The Portal serves as a platform to engage all stakeholders in ocean planning from the five-state Mid-Atlantic region-putting essential data and state-of-the-art mapping and visualization technology into the hands of the agencies, industry, and community leaders.

NASA Earth Observations: Ocean
One of the best places to study Earth is from space. NASA satellites continually orbit the globe, collecting information about Earth’s ocean, atmosphere, and land surfaces. Satellites can even monitor the activity of life forms, such as phytoplankton, from their remote vantage points. Satellite imagery provides the greatest benefit to the most people when it can be analyzed by anyone with an interest. NEO strives to make global satellite imagery as accessible as possible.
Our mission is to help you picture climate and environmental changes as they occur on our home planet. Here you can browse and download the imagery of satellite data from NASA's constellation of Earth Observing System satellites. Over 50 different global datasets are represented with daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, and images are available in a variety of formats including JPEG, PNG, Google Earth, and GeoTIFF.
NEO is part of the EOS Project Science Office located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

National Tsunami Alarm System - Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Chilean Navy
The Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Navy (SHOA) is the technical, permanent and official body of the State, responsible for the operation, operation and maintenance of the National Tsunami Alarm System (SNAM).
As a fundamental element of support to its operational task, the SHOA has begun in 1997 the execution of the CITSU Project, elaboration of Tsunami Flood Charts for the coast of Chile, tools that allow to define the maximum flood levels expected for the main urban and port areas of the Chilean coastline, in the event of near-field tsunamigenic seismic events.
To quantitatively evaluate the risk of tsunami of tectonic origin in coastal areas, it has been necessary to carry out interdisciplinary studies in seismology, geology, geophysics and oceanography, including the review of historical sources. Within this context, tsunami modeling has been used to discriminate between different possible scenarios (ie source location and rupture mechanisms) that may affect a particular region, preparing a Flood Chart for the most extreme seismic event, either known or probable.
Currently, numerical simulation is the best geophysical and hydrodynamic analysis technique available to study tsunami risk in areas where historical records are insufficient. The model that has been applied to develop the CITSU project, COMCOT (Cornell Multi-grid Coupled Tsunami Model) designed by Dr. SN Seo based on the model of Shuto's (August 10, 1993) and Yongsik Cho (August 10, 1993) at the Cornell University School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

NIB MBS HF radar - European Marine Observation and Data Network Physics (ODIS id: 189)
NIB MBS HF radar - European Marine Observation and Data Network Physics
HF radar represents a new tool for waves and surficial currents assessment as well as a potential resource for monitoring the impact of wave energy on the marine environment. Although the technology we use to measure ocean currents is typically called "High-Frequency Radar" or "HF Radar", a more accurate name would be the "HF Radio". Ocean current transmitting antennas operate at similar frequencies to broadcast radio and TV, but at much lower power levels (0.1% or less). The transmitted energy, comparable to the power of a household light bulb, is harmless to humans and animals. Besides measuring waves and currents this technology offers the application of the results to multiple fields of marine activities. These measurements in Near real Time (NRT) can serve as an excellent monitoring tool for oil spill movements once they occur as well as in search and rescue operations. Furthermore, the measurements can be of great use for fishermen and tourism activities. Co-financed by the IPA ADRIATIC (EU) project ”Strengthening common reaction capacity to fight sea pollution of oil, toxic and hazardous substances in Adriatic Sea – HAZADR” (http://www.hazadr.eu/) two HF radar systems WERA were set up along the coast of the Gulf of Trieste. The National Institute of Biology, Marine Biology Station (NIB) in cooperation with the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO) placed a 12 channel system in the city of Piran (Slovenia), while the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS) set up its system in Aurisina (Italy). Working in pairs thus they cover the Gulf of Trieste and the Bay of Piran as well. The NRT results are available to the public, local stakeholders and the scientific society in a graphical and digital form.

Co-financed by the IPA ADRIATIC (EU) project ”Strengthening common reaction capacity to fight sea pollution of oil, toxic and hazardous substances in Adriatic Sea – HAZADR” (http://www.hazadr.eu/) two HF radar systems WERA were set up along the coast of the Gulf of Trieste. The National Institute of Biology, Marine Biology Station (NIB) in cooperation with the Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO) placed a 12 channel system in the city of Piran (Slovenia), while the Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale (OGS) set up its system in Aurisina (Italy). Working in pairs thus they cover the Gulf of Trieste and the Bay of Piran as well. The NRT results are available to the public, local stakeholders and the scientific society in a graphical and digital form.

NOAA Fisheries Distribution Mapping and Analysis Portal
The Distribution Mapping and Analysis Portal (DisMAP) is a user friendly and interactive website designed to provide visualization and analysis tools to better track, understand, and respond to shifting distributions of marine species. It allows users to examine changes in species distributions over time by looking at both location maps as well as graphs of key indicators of a species distribution (changes over time in latitude, depth, range limits). Our mission is to improve ease of access to and exploration of fish and invertebrate species distribution data and support the use of spatial data for insight and informing marine resource management decisions.

Microplastics (<5 mm) pollution is a growing problem affecting coastal communities, marine ecosystems, aquatic life, and human health. The widespread occurrence of marine microplastics, and the need to curb its threats, require expansive, and continuous monitoring. While microplastic research has increased in recent years and generated significant volumes of data, there is a lack of a robust, open access, and long-term aggregation of this data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) now provides a global open access to marine microplastics data on an easily discoverable and accessible GIS web map and data portal (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/microplastics). The objective of this data portal is to develop a repository where microplastics data are aggregated, archived, and served in a user friendly, consistent, and reliable manner. This work contributes to NCEI’s efforts towards data standardization, integration, harmonization, and interoperability among national and international collaborators for monitoring global marine microplastics. This paper describes the NOAA NCEI global marine microplastics database, its creation, quality control procedures, and future directions.

The collection of oceanographic data not only enables us to understand the ocean and the climate system but also helps us make the proper decisions for sustainable development and management of ocean resources. This is especially crucial for Small Island Developing States, including the Republic of Mauritius that rely heavily on their ocean resources themselves threatened by changes in climate and ocean conditions. Similarly, the development of sustainable ocean-related business activities including a mariculture industry, which is a growing sector in many developing countries, also requires a good understanding of the ocean.
Following the Budget Speech 2016-2017, the Government has reiterated its strong intent of making the Ocean, a pillar of its Economy and has tasked the MOI with the responsibility of fully characterizing the aquaculture sites around mainland Mauritius. MOI has therefore re-aligned its Strategic Plan with the Government Vision, and its prime focus is now on the characterization of coastal and open waters of the Mauritian EEZ.
After its establishment in 2000 and through the various projects initiated since the MOI has been generating large amounts of oceanographic data. These data include physical, biological and chemical measurements derived from in situ oceanographic observations. The parameters include: temperature, conductivity, salinity, pH, turbidity, current/sea surface current pattern, water density and pressure, wave and tide, bathymetry, beach topography/relative elevation, total dissolved solids, cations/anions, 222Radon concentration, nutrient concentrations, heavy metals, fluorescence, genetic information on selected marine organisms (DNA), information on sponges, etc.

Abstract
The Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array Program is a multi-national effort to provide data in real-time for climate research and forecasting. Major components include the TAO/TRITON array in the Pacific, PIRATA in the Atlantic, and RAMA in the Indian Ocean. The major phenomenological foci of this array are: (i) El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific; (ii) The interhemispheric dipole mode, equatorial warm events, and hurricane activity in the Atlantic; (iii) The monsoons, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and intraseasonal variability in the Indian Ocean.

Ocean Tool for Public Understanding and Science
The Ocean Tool for Public Understanding and Science (OcToPUS) is a research initiative
at the University of Oxford located at the Department of Zoology and initiated through
the Oxford Martin School Programme on Sustainable Oceans
(http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/research/programmes/sustainable-oceans). We aim
to support scientific study, monitoring, policy and decision-making related to the
management of the oceans.
TECHNOLOGY: OcToPUS relies on established free and open-source geospatial technology to provide
interactive access to dynamically updated, multi-dimensional data on the marine
environment. A retrospective approach to big data archives allows us to present
information on temporal trends and variability in ocean phenomena and to identify
hotspots of change in the oceans.
INPUT:
OcToPUS dynamically harvests open data from a large variety of sources
(/data#sources). Our servers are constantly being synchronized and in case new
datasets become available at any of the sources, they are being harvested,
preprocessed and ingested into the OcToPUS database and analysis engine.
Preprocessed datasets are presented with harmonized spatial and temporal
specifications and unified metadata to allow for direct usability in the analysis. Whenever
possible datasets are preprocessed "on-the-y" upon request.
All datasets are served with global extent (bounding box: -180, 180, -90, 90) using a
united coordinate reference system (WGS84), with a resampled spatial resolution of
0.09 degrees (approximately 10km), at various temporal resolutions (1 month, 1 year,
10 years, 50 years), 137 standard depth levels (if applicable) and spanning over a time
range of up to 52 years (1964 – present). Metadata are ingested into the le headers
and a unified coastline is applied to all datasets. Vector datasets are provided with an
adaptive scale-dependent coastline.

PORTO is an integrated featured online service of met-ocean information delivered to especially aid harbour masters, port authorities and operators in the shipping and maritime services in the proximity of the Maltese Islands and south of Sicily. The initiative follows the trail of efforts to deliver services deriving from operational oceanography and meteorology to dedicated users. PORTO online gives the user a direct handle to view, analyse and compare different datasets online such as through user-selected geographic sub-domains, transects, inter-comparison of sites and overlaying of data layers.
The novelty of PORTO is that it delivers featured data services, providing routine data-derived products to support targeted users in their operational day-to-day activities. This is achieved by allowing the user to combine data employing augmented web features to customise the use of the online data. A drawing board allows the user to adapt the viewing the content. The interface is a work in progress, as more features will be added as they become available. Future additions include early warning alerts on extreme events such as gale winds, high waves or strong currents, serving as important indicators to operators who can avail of such information to mitigate adverse conditions.
Data for the interface comes from various sources, including both observations and numerical model data. Key data in PORTO are real time observations from ten meteorological stations, four sea level gauges and seven HF radars belong to the CALYPSO network; numerical model data for atmospheric parameters, waves, currents sea surface temperature and salinity; satellite data from different platforms. The raw model data outputs are further elaborated to extract secondary data, which is also available to the user.
The PORTO Online concept and design has been developed by Prof. Aldo Drago within the CALYPSO South project. The setting up, operational running and routine publishing of data on the system is done by the team of the Physical Oceanography Research Group of the University of Malta.

The PAIM Virtual Research Environment (VRE) provides the user with tools to visualize, analyze and report on a range of ecologically important seafloor features within marine protected areas - a key component of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). The interface is built around an interactive map viewer that provides visualization of a range of seafloor features. The interface utilizes cloud computing to analyze the representation of seafloor features within marine protected areas for a selected exclusive economic zone or marine ecoregion. Finally, the interface presents the results of this analysis in an interactive report, with options to download the report or the results of the analysis. The interface will assist users in understanding which seafloor features occur in an area and how these are currently represented in marine protected areas. This information can be used to prioritize future planning of protected areas to include seafloor features that are poorly represented.

The ProtectedSeas Navigator offers not just a guide to the location of Marine Protected Areas, but also a guide to the actual regulations for marine protection. Regulations and mapping data are sourced directly from management authorities and summarized, and whenever possible reviewed. Additionally, as available, we extract 26 gear and activity codes that indicate whether activities are restricted or allowed, enabling the generation of maps and analysis of protection related to each activity listed here.
While many countries designate MPAs according to the IUCN definition, they also may have other measures that are not formally designated as MPAs. ProtectedSeas' first goal is to map MPAs and then when resources and information are available, to go beyond country MPA designations to include a wider set of restrictions that impact marine life, including other measures to protect habitat and ecosystems (e.g. fishery management, water quality, health, safety and resource extraction).
Our thought is to include as comprehensive a list as possible of protections for marine life. As a guide to the regulatory seascape, the ProtectedSeas Navigator not only helps fishers and boaters on the water stay aware of rules and regulations but also helps inform the international ocean conservation community on the state and coverage of ocean protection.
With over 11,000 areas and growing, the ProtectedSeas Navigator includes marine protected areas for over 70 countries. The ProtectedSeas team has generated electronic maps for approximately 1/4 of all locations and donated them back to governing entities.

ReefBase - WorldFish Center
A great part of the coral reef resources in the world are in danger of destruction due to over exploitation, degradation of habitat, and, possibly, changes in global climate. Globally, the resulting loss of income from fisheries is estimated to be billions of dollars a year and affects many millions of people.
Few figures are available to indicate the sustainable yields that might be extracted for different reef types, current and potential yields of different reef species, how yields are affected by declining reef health and loss of productive capacity and the value of non-extractive uses of reefs (such as tourism).
Sophisticated methods to quantify the deterioration of coral reefs have been initiated in some areas, while hardly any assessment or monitoring activities exist in others. Information from these activities is usually published in the primary scientific literature and may not be readily available or understood by a non-technical reader.
A larger body of information has been compiled in technical reports, which are generally for limited distribution. This makes it difficult for the people tasked with managing coral reefs to obtain the information needed for good management even when comprehensive information exists.
ReefBase gathers available knowledge about coral reefs into one information repository. It is intended to facilitate analyses and monitoring of coral reef health and the quality of life of reef-dependent people and to support informed decisions about coral reef use and management.
ReefBase is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), as well as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The ReefBase Project is housed at the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, with funding through ICRAN from the United Nations Foundation (UNF).

Reef Life Survey (RLS) aims to improve biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of marine resources by coordinating surveys of rocky and coral reefs using scientific methods, with the ultimate goal to improve coastal stewardship. Our activities depend on the skills of experienced and motivated recreational SCUBA divers, partnerships with management agencies and university researchers, and active input from the RLS Advisory Committee.
RLS data are freely available to the public for non-profit purposes, so not only managers but also groups such as local dive clubs or schools may use these data to look at changes over time in their own local reefs. By making data freely available and through public outputs, RLS aims to raise broader community awareness of the status of Australia’s marine biodiversity and associated conservation issues.
The Reef Life Survey Data Portal is hosted and maintained by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
This site provides access to metadata, mapping, and download of data sets.

ReefTemp Next Generation - Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ODIS id: 2421)
ReefTemp Next Generation - Australian Bureau of Meteorology
ReefTemp Next Generation is a set of high resolution mapping products that provide information on coral bleaching risk for the Great Barrier Reef region. High ocean temperatures are the primary cause of mass coral bleaching events. Bleaching is a stress response of corals during unfavourable conditions, whereby they expel their symbiotic phyotosynthetic algae (zooxanthellae), giving rise to the typical white colouration observed.
Bleaching has been observed on the Great Barrier Reef since 1982, with severe bleaching events occurring in the summers of 1998, 2002 and 2006. Coral mortality appears to increase with the intensity of the bleaching event, which is determined by how much and for how long temperatures remain above the maximum mean summer temperatures.
With future climate change projections indicating increased frequency and severity of mass coral bleaching events, ReefTemp Next Generation improves our ability to monitor heat stress on the Great Barrier Reef.
The new ReefTemp Next Generation system was developed by the Bureau of Meteorology for eReefs, under the National Plan for Environmental Information (NPEI) initiative. A research Version 1 (V1) system, available from 2007, was the result of a collaborative project between the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
There are several related operational products produced by the Bureau of Meteorology that are also used in reef management, including seasonal reef outlooks for coral bleaching, ENSO wrap ups and tropical cyclone outlooks.
The system was developed by the Bureau of Meteorology for eReefs, under the National Plan for Environmental Information initiative.

Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Metadata Portal
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.

Satellite images from the Himawari-8. It is a new Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite with optical sensors
significantly higher in radiometric, spectral and spatial resolution than previous geostationary orbit
such as MTSAT. There are 16 observation bands with 0.5 or 1 km spatial resolution for visible and
near-infrared bands and 2 km for infrared bands. The shortened revisit times around 10 minutes for
full-disk provide new levels of capacity for identification and tracking of rapidly changing weather
phenomena and for the derivation of quantitative products.

Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool - Sea Turtle
The "Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool" is the engine that works behind the scenes to make everything go. Each night STAT logs in to the Argos servers and retrieves any new or updated data and inserts them into the database. It then sends a summary of the update to e-mail addresses designated by each program manager and regenerates all of the maps to reflect the new or updated data.
STAT is also where you set up projects to be shared on the satellite tracking website. Simply create a new project, give it a name and description, select each of the tags that should be included in that project, and even upload sponsor and partner logos to be displayed on the project page. You can set-up as many projects as you like. You can then configure each of your tags by entering an animal's name and background information and choose from a number of options that control the appearance of your maps. You can preview all of your pages before making them public, and simply check a box to make a project public when you are ready. You are not required to share your tracks to take advantage of STAT, but it is preferred that at least some of your tracks are made public.
Also under development are a suite of data management and analysis tools. Currently, you are able to review and export your data, including bathymetry data extracted from the GEBCO 1-minute global bathymetry dataset. Additional tools include data filters, summary reports and maps, additional export functions and a direct link to SEATURTLE.ORG's Maptool for on-the-fly mapping of your data.

Scientific Collections - Marine Biodiversity of Yucatán
Marine Biodiversity of Yucatán is a working group of the Faculty of Sciences of the UNAM made up of professors, researchers, students, and collaborators that make observations in the field, models and syntheses that seek to quantify and understand life in the sea and how is changing, providing strategies to observe biodiversity and biological processes on a small and large scale while developing advanced methods for the observation, characterization, and monitoring of biodiversity.
Scientific collections are important repositories of biological data that can be transformed into useful information for society. There are different types, purposes, and sizes of biological collections. Their relevance is highly correlated with the number of lots, registered biological diversity, and the geographic scope they cover. They tend to support the creation and dissemination of new knowledge, store historical information, and are the basis for the training of human resources.

Sea-floor Geology - European Geological Data Infrastructure (ODIS id: 2414)
Sea-floor Geology - European Geological Data Infrastructure
Within EMODnet Geology, the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) is leading the workpackage “Seafloor Geology” to compile and harmonize the European marine geology map data as detailed as possible for the themes
– pre-Quaternary and
– Quaternary geology;
– geomorphology.
These three data layers on Seafloor Geology show the underlying geology from Earths ancient past (more than 2500 Million years ago) to modern Quaternary deposits and geomorphological features. From it we can read the story about Earths Evolution in the European, marine part of our planet Earth, i.e. from the oldest rocks and how they form, to the youngest rocks and geomorphological features representing the most recent geological and environmental changes.
Users can find in particular Information on scientifically valuable geological and geomorphological structures, on geological material (lithology), its age (stratigraphy) and its forms (geomorphology) on the seafloor in Europe. This contains information on structures on the seafloor important for geoscience research and investigations of future exploration of mineral and energy resources, but also of biologic resources. It is also a source of knowledge to show features of the seafloor geomorphology valuable for habitats of numerous species (Fishery, tourism). In addition, the layers provides information on the sea floor conditions to plan building infrastructures (such as windparks, or a pipeline or a protection area for endangered species).

Seabed Substrate map - European Geological Data Infrastructure (ODIS id: 2413)
Seabed Substrate map - European Geological Data Infrastructure
Seabed substrate map of the European sea areas (e.g. the Baltic Sea, the Barents Sea, the Greater North Sea, the Celtic Sea, the Iberian Coast, the White Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea within EU waters). The map is collated and harmonized from seabed substrate information within the EMODnet-Geology project.
The map is collated from data from Partners and generalized data at smaller scales. Where necessary, the existing substrate classifications (of individual maps) have been translated to a scheme that is supported by EUNIS. This EMODnet reclassification scheme consists of altogether five seabed substrate classes.
Four substrate classes are defined on the basis of the modified Folk triangle (mud to sandy mud; sand; coarse sediment; and mixed sediment) and one additional substrate class (rock and boulders) was included by the project team. If the original seabed substrate dataset has enabled more detailed substrate classification, classifications with 7 and 16 substrate classes might be available. The seabed substrate maps were produced March 2019.
Note: The data may include some errors e.g. overlays, topological gaps and data discontinuities.

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.

SeaMap Australia - University of Tasmania
The Australian National Data Service (ANDS) High Values Collections (HVC) program has funded the establishment of an Australian seabed habitat classification scheme and spatial database, which we have named “Seamap Australia”.
Seamap Australia represents a number of outcomes a) the collation of all national benthic habitat mapping data into one location on infrastructure provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network (AODN) complete with metadata records, b) the syntheses of these datasets into one spatial data product using a newly proposed national benthic marine classification scheme for the Australian continental shelf and c) visualisation capacity via a web interface of the Seamap Australia spatial layer including a sample of biological data overlays.
The University of Tasmania has been well positioned to develop this spatial project. Previous IMAS projects like ‘SeaMap Tasmania’, ‘RedMap’ and ‘Reef Life Survey’ have generated awareness of what is possible when spatial data are made publicly available. We anticipate that Seamap Australia will enable national scale cross-disciplinary studies of continental shelf habitats. We hope that by bringing all of the marine habitat mapping data sets into one portal, and through highlighting the custodians of these data, that institutions are encouraged to work collaboratively to address nationwide solutions.
We look forward to this High Value Collection (HVC #19) inspiring researchers to share their marine habitat data through the AODN into the future, so that as the resource grows, we can continuously improve our knowledge of our marine estate.

Sea Surface Temperature - Oceanographic and Antarctic Institute of the Ecuadorian Navy
The sea surface temperature (SST) data were provided by the United Kingdom Meteorological Service (UKMO), and correspond to the Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis System (OSTIA), which is part of the data set of the GHRSST project -PP (GODAE High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Pilot Project). The OSTIA system uses data from a combination of infrared and microwave satellites, as well as in-situ data to allow effective skew correction. The estimated RMS error is 0.6K in high resolution, in quasi-real time (Stark et al., 2007).
The Oceanographic Institute of the Ecuadorian Navy post-processes these daily data (L4), at a resolution of 4km, and generates, as an INOCAR oceanographic product, the SST and SST anomaly charts averaged over 7 days in the Southeast Pacific domain. considering a week of analysis from Monday to Sunday. For the anomaly fields, the Levitus climatology from the 2005 Marine Oceanic Atlas (WOA05, Locarnini et al., 2006) was used.
The anomaly chart shows the difference between the current sea temperature and the expected value for the date based on historical records (Levitus climatology). Values above the average are known as a positive anomaly, and those below the average are known as a negative anomaly.

Seismic data Network Access Point - National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics
SNAP is the data web portal and framework that allow to access all geophysical data acquired by National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS).
SNAP hosts approximately 91,073 km of seismic lines and 351,000 square kilometers of Multibeam data, mostly in the Mediterranean and Black sea and is complemented by the Antarctic Seismic Data Libray (SDLS) that under the auspices of the SCAR committee gathers all the seismic data (approx 300,000 km) acquired by all the international research centers in Antarctica.
SNAP is the tip of the iceberg of OGS geophysical data management. Data sources at OGS are OGS-Vessel OGS-Explora and the large asset of vintage data OGS owns. All these data are properly handled using ISO, SEG and OGC standards and made available to internal use through commercial and open-source processing and interpretation software. The OGS geophysics data space can be accessed through the SNAP portal.
Major revisions to the technologies led to the current version that no longer needs plug-ins and can be run on any web browser.

Sharktivity provides realtime public beach closures and white shark sightings and detections on the east coast with a focus on Cape Cod. Sharks are automatically detected via acoustic and satellite tags bolstered by human observations from trained beach observers, AWSC's survey team, and the public. Public sightings are reviewed and moderated by AWSC staff prior to distribution.
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy Sharktivity App was developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries, the Cape Cod National Seashore, and officials from Cape Cod and South Shore towns to raise awareness of the presence of white sharks off our coast.
The App sightings are fed by researchers, safety officials, and users that upload photos for confirmation. By enabling App users to report shark sightings and upload photos for confirmation, we are effectively crowd-sourcing critical data points on where sharks are spotted so as to reduce encounters and promote safety. Data from sharks with acoustic tags and Smart Position and Temperature Tags (SPOT) are also available on the App.

Spatial Temporal Oceanographic Query System (STOQS) Data Server - Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
Advances in sensor and platform technology enable the collection of massive amounts of diverse types of data, making subsequent analyses increasingly difficult. The Spatial-Temporal Oceanographic Query System (STOQS) addresses this issue. This open-source software program provides new capabilities for scientists to gain insight from oceanographic data. STOQS uses a geospatial database and a web-based user interface to allow scientists to explore large data collections. The user can see a quick overview of measurements in both space and time, as well focus on a specific parameter or instrument. A user may zoom into a feature of interest, then filter which data to include in the analysis. Different types of visualizations include graphs as well as two- and three-dimensional images and animations.

Welcome to SponGIS, the dedicated data portal for deep-sea sponge data built as part of project SponGES.
The SponGIS database has been designed to follow international standards for biodiversity data (i.e. Darwin Core, Dublin Core) and closely follows the schema of the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). In SponGIS, we use an additional extension of the Darwin Core (MeasurementOrFact) to capture data and datasets that extend beyond just biodiversity data. In SponGES, these can be data that captures physical or chemical variables, and can even hold maps. This resource explains the structure of the SponGIS database, and provides guidance on how participants or external collaborators can contribute datasets.
See Contribute on the SponGIS website if you wish to contribute data to SponGIS, and below for an overview of the data available. Note, SponGIS is in development and data is not yet accessible.

The storm catalogue is an archive of the spatial footprint and associated storm track of extreme wave events (defined by the 1 year return period Hs) captured by the wave buoy network operated by the National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England since 2003. It is the result of an effort by the Channel Coastal Observatory to synthesise the wave data collected by the network, and is updated on an annual basis. Although the rationale behind the location of each buoy is to provide site-specific wave information, the number of buoys currently deployed means that they can produce a consistent, spatially-representative, shallow water wave climate of the English coast.
The catalogue is organised so that the user can browse extreme wave events either by storm season or by the region that was impacted by a storm. There are two maps for each storm; one showing the spatial footprint of the event and the other the associated storm track.
The maximum Hs measured at each wave buoy site during an extreme wave event are given in the following spreadsheet. This document will be updated annually.
The method of extremes analysis that underpins the storm catalogue is described in TN03, available from http://www.channelcoast.org/reports/

Strait of Georgia Data Centre
The Strait of Georgia Data Centre (SGDC) is a collaborative program between the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) and the Fisheries Centre, UBC, to build a secure data archive for marine ecosystem information on the Salish Sea (Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait and Puget Sound) and more generally in the nearby Pacific Ocean. Subsidiary sites hold metadata and data. Tabs on this site access these subsidiary sites as well as accessing animated oceanographic information. There is an extensive listing of researchers and projects.
The PSF Data Centre provides three direct access methods for data. Access method 1 is the simplest method and is set up for those that want manual access to data (viewing and downloading data), while Access method 2 and Access method 3 are for GIS users. See “Data Access” below for detailed instructions.
We aim to provide a “one-stop shop” for data. To this end, we provide information on Strait of Georgia data that can be found within this Data Centre, as well as in other existing databases and locations. Clicking on the different categories will allow you information on 1) all the data that is within this SoG Data Centre, 2) links to custodians that can provide other data sets that cannot be directly downloaded from our Data Centre, as well as 3) links to other existing data search engines where data can be immediately downloaded. See “Data Sets” below.
We have also developed a map-based video and photograph library. This provides data in the form of historical and current photographs from around the Strait of Georgia, and videos from the First Nations Ecological Knowledge Project and from the Community Perspectives project. See “Photograph and Video Resources” below.
The Pacific Salmon Foundation, founded in 1987, is a federally incorporated non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the conservation and restoration of wild Pacific salmon and their natural habitats in British Columbia and the Yukon. Operating independently from government, The Foundation facilitates dialogue and undertakes positive initiatives in support of Pacific salmon amongst all levels of government including First Nations; as well as industry, communities, individual volunteers, and all fishing interests.

Submerged Landscapes - European Geological Data Infrastructure (ODIS id: 2418)
Submerged Landscapes - European Geological Data Infrastructure
Sea level is known to have fluctuated by more than 100 metres over repeated glacial cycles resulting in recurring exposure, inundation and migration of coastlines not only across Europe, but worldwide. Landscape response to these changes in sea level, and the preservation of these features on continental shelves around Europe, are an invaluable resource for improving our understanding of human history and environmental change over geological time.
More than 10,000 features representing 26 classes of submerged landscape and palaeoenvironmental indicator ranging from mapped and modelled palaeocoastlines, evidence for submerged forests and peats, thickness of post-Last Glacial Maximum sediments and submerged freshwater springs have been collated.

Temperate Reef Base Portal - Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (ODIS id: 679)
Temperate Reef Base Portal - Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies
TemperateReefBase is a resource for temperate reef researchers worldwide to use and contribute data. Unique in its role as a one-stop-shop for global temperate reef data, TemperateReefBase was initially established by IMAS in collaboration with the Kelp Ecology Ecosystem Network (KEEN).
KEEN was instigated through a National Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group which assembled experts from around the world to examine the impacts of global change on the kelp-bed ecosystem worldwide. The group has assembled significant global data for kelps, other seaweeds and associated species including fishes, and has embarked on unprecedented global experiments and surveys in which identical experiments and surveys are being conducted at sites in kelp beds around the world to determine global trends and examine the capacity of kelps to respond to a disturbance in the face of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors.
The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is an online discovery interface showcasing temperate reef data collected from around the globe. The portal aims to make this data freely and openly available for the benefit of marine and environmental science as a whole.
The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is hosted and maintained by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia.

Tsunami Case Flood Chart - Hydrography and Navigation Directorate of Perú
Natural phenomena are frequent and the damage they cause, although unavoidable, can be mitigated through a set of pre-established procedures and actions. In the specific case of Tsunamis, this set of rules and actions constitute the Flood Letters drawn up by the DHN, which were made available to the competent authority of the coastal localities. These were used for the design and planning of evacuation routes and refuge areas, as well as the formulation of an evacuation plan, which the authorities of the coastal localities must have.
For the Determination of the Maximum Flood Limit in case of Tsunami, it is obtained considering oceanographic aspects, such as: height and direction of the waves and tidal heights (tidal reference levels), in addition to information on the geomorphological characteristics, slope and tachymetry of the front and back beach areas. The aforementioned information comes from the National Tsunami Warning Center (CNAT), which is complemented with cadastral data provided by the municipalities, in order to assess and identify evacuation routes and refuge areas. The methodology adapted for the determination of Run-Up and post-tsunami surveys is in accordance with the specifications of the IOC / ITSU / 13 manual.

The Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Navy (SHOA) is the technical, permanent, and official entity of the state, responsible for the functioning, operation, and maintenance of the National Tsunami Warning System (SNAM).
As a fundamental element of support to its own operational duties, SHOA started the implementation of the Project CITSU in 1997 (Flood Maps for the Coasts of Chile). This tool allows defining the maximum flood levels expected for the main urban and port areas in the coasts of Chile, in the occurrence of an earthquake with tsunamigenic characteristics.
In the field of prevention and mitigation of the impact of tsunamis, the flood charts are directly linked to urban planning, carried out by the municipal authority, and also to the development of evacuation, and civil protection plans. These tasks are supervised by the National Emergency Office of the Ministry of Interior (ONEMI) in every city, through the Regional Offices for Civil Protection and Emergency (OREMI), and Local Emergency Committees, following basic methodology for the elaboration of a Community Plan for Response in the event of a Tsunami.

Tuna Atlas - Fisheries and Aquaculture statistical collections
This interactive version of the Atlas presents the global distribution of catches by gear from 1950 to 2012, at 5° latitude by 5° longitude resolution, of those tuna and tuna-like species for which this distribution is generally well known on the global scale. These species consist of the so-called principal market tunas and some billfishes.
The atlas of tuna and billfish catches is an interactive web-based mapping tool. It uses geographic information system (GIS) technology to enable users to map and display global catches of major tunas and billfishes by fishing gears an 5° by 5° degrees resolution.

FIGIS.
To select the range of years and quarters, use the sliders available along bottom and right edges of the map. Select at least one gear types and one species and the preferred aggregation method. Click the Map button to see results. Subsequent changes to one of the time slider are immediately reflected on the map. Due to the amount of data, it may take some time to obtain the result, please be patient. The animations panel allows creating an animated sequence of maps of catches by year or quarter.
Each cell in the map is defined through a 6 digits number: "XYYZZZ". X is the Quadrant (1=NE, 2=SE, 3=SW and 4=NW), YY is Latitude and ZZZ is Longitude. Latitude and longitude define the corner of the cell nearest to the point where the Equator is crossed by the Greenwich Meridian. For further information please refer to Section G in CWP Handbook of Fishery Statistical Standards.
Disclaimer: The designations employed and the presentation of material in the map(s) are for illustration only and do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of FAO concerning the legal or constitutional status of any country, territory or sea area, or concerning the delimitation of frontiers or boundaries.

The vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) concept emerged from discussions at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and gained momentum after UNGA Resolution 61/105. VMEs constitute areas that may be vulnerable to impacts from fishing activities.
The vulnerable marine ecosystems database was developed in collaboration with the regional bodies with mandates to manage deep-sea fisheries in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). It is a compilation of information on management measures taken to reduce current or potential impact on areas where VMEs are known or likely to occur.
The database is designed to facilitate the work of scientists and managers working on these fisheries and also to promote transparency and accessibility of work that has been done in relation to VMEs to the general public.
The content of the database is linked to the data providers (e.g. RFMOs and other multi-lateral bodies) and users have access the primary source of the information through direct links.
This database was developed specifically in response to a request from the UN General Assembly (61/105, paragraph 90) to create a database of information on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) in ABNJ. It has been developed within the FAO Deep-sea Fisheries Programme to promote the use of the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-Sea Fisheries in the High Seas that provides guidance to States and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations or Arrangements (RFMO/As) to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of marine living resources in the deep seas. This includes preventing Significant Adverse Impacts on vulnerable marine ecosystems.

Weather Radar Images - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics
Weather radar imagery depicts the potential rainfall intensity as detected by weather radar. Measurement of rainfall intensity (precipitation) by weather radar is based on how much radar energy emission is reflected back by the water droplets in the cloud and is represented by the Reflectivity product which has a unit dBZ (decibel). The greater the reflected energy received by the radar, the greater the dBZ value, and the greater the dBZ reflectivity value, indicating the greater the intensity of rain that occurs.
The maximum range of the Reflectivity product from the BMKG radar is about 240 km from the radar location.

Abstract
Weather radar imagery depicts the potential rainfall intensity as detected by weather radar. Measurement of rainfall intensity (precipitation) by weather radar is based on how much radar energy emission is reflected back by the water droplets in the cloud and is represented by the Reflectivity product which has a unit dBZ (decibel). The greater the reflected energy received by the radar, the greater the dBZ value, and the greater the dBZ reflectivity value, indicating the greater the intensity of rain that occurs.
The maximum range of the Reflectivity product from the BMKG radar is about 240 km from the radar location.

Western Mediterranean Operational Forecasting System - SOCIB (ODIS id: 2032)
Western Mediterranean Operational Forecasting System - SOCIB
The Western Mediterranean OPerational forecasting system (WMOP) is a high-resolution ocean forecasting system implemented over the Western Mediterranean Sea. It is run operationally on a daily basis, producing 72-hour forecasts of ocean temperature, salinity, sea level and currents (Juza et al., 2016(1), Mourre et al., 2018(2)).
Systematic validation procedures based on the inter-comparison of model outputs and satellite and in-situ observations are implemented to continuously assess the accuracy of the model. Model indicators (volume transports, average temperature, salinity, kinetic energy and heat content, maximum mixed layer depth) are also computed every day to monitor the system.

Whale Alert App
Whale Alert is a network of non-profit institutions, government agencies, shipping and technology companies focused on reducing lethal ship strikes of whales.
Whale Alert helps reduce the chance of fatal ship strikes by large vessels by displaying active whale management areas, required reporting areas, recommended routes, areas-to-be-avoided and near real-time warnings in shipping lanes along both coasts of the United States and Canada. This information allows vessel operators to avoid collision with whales by slowing down and heightening their visual awareness.ore waters (out to 5 miles) at a fraction of the cost of traditional military-grade systems. The M2 software downloads radar data and mirrors it in a friendly user-interface that can be stored and replayed via the cloud. The M2 software can further improve MPA monitoring with the optional integration of a Automatic Identification System (AIS) sensor and high-definition pan-tilt-zoom video camera.
Whale Alert now supports reporting of whale sightings by the maritime community and the broader public. This information is shared in real-time with leading whale researchers and state and federal management authorities. In some cases, whale sightings will trigger confirmation “over-flights” by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) or the United States Coast Guard (USCG) who will then determine whether or not temporary speed restrictions should be created (Dynamic Management Areas).

A number of map viewer layers are now available as a Web Map Service (WMS) in ArcMap and QGIS. WMS layers request georeferenced images from a server and display them, but do not download or store the data they are displaying on the computer. This means you can use www.coastalmonitoring.org data directly in a GIS and overlay it with your own data, without having to download individual tiles first. All that is needed is an internet connection and an account on the CCO website (create an account here).
Note that "Image" is the keyword here; the data are viewable (and even query-able with the QGIS and ArcGis identify tools) but it is not possible to change the symbology or use the layers for calculations. For image analysis, raster analysis, creating difference models etc., you would still need to download the data from the map viewer first.

The WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment) Carbon Data Management Project started in 1993 when CDIAC (the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center) became a member of the DOE/NOAA Ocean Carbon Science Team with data management and permanent archive responsibilities for the WOCE CO2 measurements. The WOCE was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WHP cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final data set covers approximately 170 WOCE cruises.

The World Ocean Database 2018 (WOD18) was pre-released on September 20, 2018 and now it is in its final form. It contains all data in the World Ocean Database up to unique cast 18,604,996, roughly all data added up to December 31, 2017. There are some plankton tows added after that date (and unique cast number). These plankton tow data are from accession numbers 0051894, 0051914, and 0046299. There are also 3,209 casts from the Argo program with latter unique casts higher than the above cast number. It is important to note the exact data set of WOD18 (version) as it is the input, both data and quality flagging for the World Ocean Atlas 2018 (WOA18).
Some major additions for WOD18 are the inclusion of BioArgo data, the addition of more than one million glider cycles, and the change of oxygen, nutrient, and tracer units from per liter to per kilogram.

World Ocean Database - Mirror site
The World Ocean Database (WOD) is the world's largest publicly available collection of subsurface ocean profile data. It is a powerful tool for oceanographic, climatic, and environmental research, and the end result of more than 20 years of coordinated efforts to incorporate data from institutions, agencies, individual researchers, and data recovery initiatives into a single database. WOD data spans from Captain Cook's 1772 voyage to the contemporary Argo period, making it a valuable resource for long term and historical ocean climate analysis. Original versions of the 20,000+ datasets in the WOD are available through the NCEI archives.
The WOD is an NCEI product and an IODE (International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange) project.
This work is funded in partnership with the NOAA OAR Ocean Observing and Monitoring Division.
The WODselect retrieval system allows a user to search World Ocean Database and new (quartely updated/added) data using a user-specified search criteria. A distribution map and cast count of these search criteria will give the user the option to have the data extracted and placed on the NODC FTP site in the WOD native, 'csv', and netCDF data formats.

The aim of a World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy. While the highest priority goes to valid names, other names in use are included so that this register can serve as a guide to interpret taxonomic literature.
The content of WoRMS is controlled by taxonomic and thematic experts, not by database managers. WoRMS has an editorial management system where each taxonomic group is represented by an expert who has the authority over the content, and is responsible for controlling the quality of the information. Each of these main taxonomic editors can invite several specialists of smaller groups within their area of responsibility to join them.
This register of marine species grew out of the European Register of Marine Species (ERMS), and its combination with several other species registers maintained at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ). Rather than building separate registers for all projects, and to make sure taxonomy used in these different projects is consistent, VLIZ developed a consolidated database called ‘Aphia’. A list of marine species registers included in Aphia is available here. MarineSpecies.org is the web interface for the marine taxa available in this Aphia database. WoRMS combines information from Aphia with other authoritative marine species lists which are maintained by others (e.g. AlgaeBase, FishBase), the so-called 'externally hosted and managed species databases'.
Resources to build MarineSpecies.org and Aphia were provided mainly by the EU Network of Excellence ‘Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning’ (MarBEF), and also by the EU funded Species 2000 Europe and ERMS projects.
Aphia contains valid species names, synonyms and vernacular names, and extra information such as literature and biogeographic data. Besides species names, Aphia also contains the higher classification in which each scientific name is linked to its parent taxon. The classification used is a ‘compromise’ between established systems and recent changes. Its aim is to aid data management, rather than suggest any taxonomic or phylogenetic opinion on species relationships.
Keeping WoRMS up-to-date is a continuous process. New information is entered daily by the taxonomic editors and by the members of our data management team. Often data also come in from contributions of large datasets, such as global or regional species lists. No database of this size is without errors and omissions. We can’t promise to make any errors, but we do promise to follow up and give feedback on any communications pointing out errors. Feedback is very welcome!

Abstract
The aim of a World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy. While the highest priority goes to valid names, other names in use are included so that this register can serve as a guide to interpret taxonomic literature.
The content of WoRMS is controlled by taxonomic and thematic experts, not by database managers. WoRMS has an editorial management system where each taxonomic group is represented by an expert who has the authority over the content, and is responsible for controlling the quality of the information. Each of these main taxonomic editors can invite several specialists of smaller groups within their area of responsibility to join them.

Images are by default open-access under the terms of the CC BY-NC-SA license, unless stated otherwise.
Re-distribution of the entire database is not permitted, unless by prior written agreement. This is mainly to avoid circulation of (quickly) outdated copies of WoRMS, accessible through different pathways which can lead to confusion for our many users.
In exceptional cases, institutes may request a copy of the database (using this form), which will be assessed by two WoRMS Steering Committee members and the Data Management Team.
These data downloads consist of the taxonomic data only, and do not include additional data such as distributions, traits, notes, etc.
We strongly encourage the use of the on-line tools and available webservices instead of data requests, as the on-line database and webservices can guarantee continuous updates.
The WoRMS Editorial Board maintains this Register, but is aware that the content can have omissions and errors.
If you come across any error or incomplete information or you are willing to contribute to this initiative, please contact the Data Management Team or check out our Contribute page.
The majority of the photo gallery drawings used at the first and second level of the gallery are reproduced on WoRMS with permission of the Linnean Society of London. The DMT is grateful to them for granting permission for use, thereby giving us the opportunity to make the central entry-point of our photo gallery more uniform. Where images are taken from other resources, this is clearly mentioned on the image.

WorldView - Earth Observing System Data and Information System (ODIS id: 559)
WorldView - Earth Observing System Data and Information System
This app from NASA's EOSDIS provides the capability to interactively browse over 900 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and then download the underlying data. Many of the imagery layers are updated daily and are available within three hours of observation - essentially showing the entire Earth as it looks "right now". This supports time-critical application areas such as wildfire management, air quality measurements, and flood monitoring. Arctic and Antarctic views of many products are also available for a "full globe" perspective. Geostationary imagery layers are also now available. These are provided in ten minute increments for the last 30 days. These full disk hemispheric views allow for almost real-time viewing of changes occurring around most of the world. Browsing on tablet and smartphone devices is generally supported for mobile access to the imagery.
Worldview uses the Global Imagery Browse Services to rapidly retrieve its imagery for an interactive browsing experience. While Worldview uses OpenLayers as its mapping library, GIBS imagery can also be accessed from Google Earth, NASA World Wind, and several other clients. We encourage interested developers to build their own clients or integrate NASA imagery into their existing ones using these services.
