African Sea Level Network - Global Sea Level Observing System for Africa
A survey of the status of the African Sea level network was undertaken in 2005 in order to select potential locations for installation of new tide gauges, and also to assess which existing equipment required upgrade. This was done on the basis of a questionnaire sent to national contacts, as well as reports from previous surveys (GLOSS, GOOS Africa). The survey revealed the existence of at least 40 operational stations spread unevenly along the African coastline and island states. In the Indian several stations installed by the University of Hawaii within the framework of the TOGA project are still functioning. South Africa has an extensive network of gauges along its coastline. Other countries that have established national tide gauge networks include Morocco, and Mozambique. Large stretches of coastline did not have any operational gauges. There were gauges at eight (8) locations which were not working. Only two stations in the entire network met the specifications for tsunami early warning system (Rodrigues and Port Louis, both in Mauritius). The most common model of installed tide gauge was the OTT float gauge, followed by Handar encorders at stations that are installed and maintained by the University of Hawaii Sea Level Centre in the Indian Ocean.

Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy
Climate change is being felt acutely in Alaska and the Arctic. It is already altering seasons, landscapes and life in the North. These changes are impacting the safety and wellbeing of Alaska’s people, wildlife, and landscapes.
ACCAP, one of 11 NOAA funded Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) programs, was established in 2006. We conduct interdisciplinary and regionally relevant research to inform resource management, planning and public policy, and to build Alaskans' capacity to prepare for and adapt to climate change.
We work at the boundary between university research and decision makers. We strive to make complex climate science usable and applicable in a decision context and to facilitate the science being informed and driven by stakeholder needs and questions. We build downscaling models as well as develop, test, and evaluate research products and tools.

Arctic Research Consortium of the United States
The Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) has been connecting Arctic research and education since 1988. Guided by our Values, we bridge Arctic research across organizations, disciplines, geographies, sectors, knowledge systems, and cultures. Based in the United States, ARCUS serves a globally connected, diverse Arctic research community, with an emphasis on connecting U.S. researchers. We are supported by government agencies, foundations, and others who share our enthusiasm for Arctic research and education.
It is the intent of ARCUS to enhance the engagement of Arctic Indigenous communities, organizations, and peoples in research, recognizing that much research occurs within Indigenous communities, on their land, and/or utilizes Indigenous knowledge; that Indigenous Knowledge holds its own methodologies, validation, and evaluation processes; the need for Indigenous community-driven research; and that Indigenous communities are a vital part of the "research community".
ARCUS is a U.S. 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that serves the Arctic research community. Membership is open to all those organizations engaged in Arctic research or stakeholders to it, including academic, research, government, Indigenous, and corporations. Representatives of member organizations constitute the Council of ARCUS and elect the Board of Directors. ARCUS is also enabled by individual supporters who see the value of ARCUS' work to connect and advance Arctic research.

The Arctic System Science Program (ARCSS) funds proposals or groups of proposals that advance our understanding of the Arctic as a coupled system, and how the Arctic system interacts with the Earth System. ARCSS projects are often interdisciplinary and focus on the relationships among physical, chemical, biological, and human processes with emphasis on the interactions among system components. The cycles of carbon, water, and energy are important to consider in investigating the functioning of the Arctic system. Research that seeks to understand how humans drive or respond to environmental change are also encouraged.

Austral Earth Observation Alliance - South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (ODIS id: 1689)
Austral Earth Observation Alliance - South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute
Earth Observation (EO) is the collection of information about the earth’s surface (including aquatic environments) using remote sensing tools, e.g. satellite imagery, aerial photography, drone footage, radars, sonars. Through the generation of products (e.g. maps, data visualisation), Earth Observation data can then be used to measure and monitor different features of the environment over time, which can feed into management and decision-making processes from the regional to local scale. EO data has the potential to reduce long-term costs and can be used as a tool to bridge the gaps between science and decision-making.
The South Atlantic Environmental Research Institute (SAERI), together with its partners: the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, the Universidad de Magalleanes (UMAG); Universidad Santo Tomás (Santiago), Universidad de Chile and the University of Dundee, is developing a virtual centre of excellence to bring together providers and users of EO enabling them to work together on common problems to exploit EO in the South Atlantic and South American region. The Centre will include researchers, government bodies, NGOs, and the private sector.

Data Management and Cyberinfrastructure Subsystem - Integrated Ocean Observing System
A coherent strategy that enables the integration of marine data streams across disciplines, institutions, time scales, and geographic regions is central to the success of IOOS and other regional, national, and international ocean and coastal observing systems. The system that must be developed, while challenging, is within the scope of current information technology (IT). It can be developed by building upon existing capabilities through relatively straightforward software engineering. The greatest challenge to enhancing marine data integration is one of coordination and cooperation among the members of IOOS and its user communities.
The IOOS Program Office coordinates the infrastructure to enable the integration of marine data streams.
One of the primary goals of the Data Management and Cyberinfrastructure (DMAC) Subsystem is making discovery, access, and understanding ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes information for the public. To help IOOS researchers and partners make their data available online, the DMAC system enables the integration of marine data streams across disciplines, institutions, time scales, and geographic regions. Accessing IOOS data is possible through a suite of national and regional Data Portal and Viewers. The success of data integration with this distributed system is only possible through the use of common standards, formats, and data services. The U.S. IOOS Program Office maintains information on how to contribute data to IOOS and updates those steps and policies as new standards and technologies emerge.

Employee directory - Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries
The Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries was founded in 1930 as the first national scientific institution dedicated to marine research. The scientific activity of the Institute has been multidisciplinary from the beginning, encompassing biological, chemical and physical oceanography as well as sedimentology, fishery and mariculture.
Today, the basic orientation of the Institute’s work is fundamental scientific research in the framework of various projects funded by the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ). A significant part of this research aims at detecting complex interactions that shape the Adriatic marine environment, since understanding the ecosystem’s functioning represents a necessary prerequisite to creating measures for the protection of ecosystem and its biological resources, with a view to sustainable exploitation.
In addition, numerous projects funded by the European Commission or different commercial entities, enable us to carry out monitoring of populations and stocks of marine organisms, biotope mapping, initial assessments of the marine environment and various studies on environmental state and impacts. The physical, chemical and biological long-term data series collected by the Institute represent a valuable basis for the implementation of European directives, aiming at aquatic environment management and protection (MSFD, WFD).

European Ocean Biogeographic Information System
The European Ocean Biogeographic Information System – EurOBIS – is an online marine biogeographic database compiling data on all living marine creatures. The principle aims of EurOBIS are to centralize the largely scattered biogeographic data on marine species collected by European institutions and to make these data freely available and easily accessible. All data go through a number of quality control procedures before they are made available online [see standards], assuring a minimum level of quality necessary to put the data to good use.
The available data are either collected within European marine waters or by European researchers and institutes outside Europe [see scope]. The database focuses on taxonomy and occurrence records in space and time; all data can be searched and visualised through a set of online mapping tools. All data are freely available online and easily accessible, without requiring a login or password.
The regional approach and thematic focus of EurOBIS - the European marine waters - gives the system a number of advantages compared to its umbrella systems OBIS and GBIF. As EurOBIS is a European system, it can apply for (co-)financing on the European level. National, regional or European funding agencies can thus help cofinance the development and maintenance of the EurOBIS data system.
Due to the specific scope of EurOBIS, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) - the host institute of EurOBIS - can focus on the continuous gathering of additional data and information which cannot be captured in the data systems of e.g. OBIS and GBIF. The Flanders Marine Institute also invests in the development of relevant analysis tools and applications that can run on the EurOBIS data system.
The existence, continuation and growth of EurOBIS is only possible by contributions of a whole range of data providers from all over Europe. If you would be interested in contributing data, please go to ‘how to contribute?’.
EurOBIS was developed in 2004 and received funding from the MarBEF Network of Excellence ‘Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning’ which was carried out by the Sustainable Development, Global Change and Ecosystems Programme of the European community’s Sixth Framework Programme until 2009.
After 2009, financial contributions from EMODnet (2009-2012) were used by EurOBIS to fund specific mini data grant programmes. Researchers could apply for small data grants, to be used to finance the digitization of datasets that can contribute to EurOBIS. These mini data grants are profitable in two ways: (1) paper data at the risk of being lost are rescued through these data digitization actions and (2) the involved institutes and researchers are becoming aware of the advantages of publishing their data online, leading to additional datasets being shared.
From 2012 onwards, EurOBIS receives financial support through LifeWatch. EurOBIS is part of the central taxonomic backbone of LifeWatch which aims at standardizing species data and integrating the distributed biodiversity data repositories and operating facilities. During LifeWatch, EurOBIS will focus on:
A close cooperation with the European marine countries and regions for the identification and capture of marine monitoring and research data. The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) will be an important partner in this, as they will specifically focus on the identification and capture of long-term national monitoring data.
The development of a number of automated quality control procedures, which will help in the general assessment of the quality, completeness and fitness for use of the available occurrence records by the user.
Develop procedures for the management and quality control of the captured data in cooperation with the international OBIS community. These best practice procedures will help in streamlining the necessary quality control actions and the data transfer from regional nodes to the international OBIS system.
Further develop the link between (Eur)OBIS and WoRMS, with a focus on the taxonomy. All taxa present in (Eur)OBIS which are not yet present in WoRMS will be thoroughly screened and presented to the WoRMS taxonomic editors. In the end, each taxon name in OBIS should either be present in WoRMS, or an annotation should be given why the name cannot be added to WoRMS.

Data can be submitted to EurOBIS using different data formats.
The accepted data formats are:
Excel spreadsheet (.xls, .xlsx)
Access database (.mdb, .accdb)
Comma/tab separated values (.csv)
Text file (.txt)
Although one of the above data formats is preferred, it is not limited to the above. Data can also be submitted through the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) developed by GBIF. If you would like to submit data through IPT, please contact us.
When preparing your data for submission, it is important to pay attention to the field names you use. EurOBIS follows the OBIS Schema field names. As this slightly differs from the generally accepted Darwin Core Standard (e.g. used in IPT), the table below includes the term-by-term mapping of the currently used OBIS Schema field names and the Darwin Core Terms. Slight differences in definitions or recommended vocabularies may occur and are also documented in the table.
Data can be submitted using either one of the vocabularies, as they can easily be mapped to each other. The mapping between OBIS and DarwinCore can be found below.
The Darwin Core Occurrence format has a lot more terms available than the EurOBIS Schema: not all information from a DarwinCore file will be made visible in EurOBIS. The full list of DarwinCore fieldnames can be consulted on the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) website or in this Excel document.
If there would be doubt on the relation between field names, the data management team will contact you for clarification.

The ocean is a source of life for human beings. It gives us food, oxygen and energy. It is home to many species and acts as climate regulator. Understanding how we influence the ocean and how the ocean influences us is at the core of ocean literacy. This understanding allows us to make responsible choices to better protect our ocean and to use the opportunities it offers in a sustainable manner. This is what we are striving for in Europe, contributing to the improvement of the well-being of Europeans, as envisioned and recently confirmed in the European Green Deal.
The European Ocean Coalition (EU4Ocean) connects diverse organisations, projects and people that contribute to ocean literacy and the sustainable management of the ocean. Supported by the European Commission, this bottom-up inclusive initiative aims at uniting the voices of Europeans to make the ocean a concern of everyone!
This coalition will:
Contribute to enhancing awareness and the engagement of all parties involved in the sustainable management of our ocean and seas;
Help coalition members to become ocean advocates in their own field/role/region as well as agents of transition supporting changes in perception, values, attitudes and behaviour towards more sustainable practices, management of the ocean and blue economy opportunities;
Put ocean literacy high on the policy agenda, contributing inter alias to the implementation of the EU marine and maritime policies and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda 2030, in particular the SDG 14 Life below water.
The EU4Ocean coalition combines EU-wide activities with actions dedicated to the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean (including the North Sea), the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the global ocean.
The coalition is made up of three components: a Platform for organisations and individuals engaged in Ocean Literacy initiatives, a European Youth Forum for the Ocean and a Network of European Blue Schools.
Awards will be given to outstanding active individuals, organisations and initiatives from the three networks.

Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI) provides open access to finding species interaction data (e.g., predator-prey, pollinator-plant, pathogen-host, parasite-host) by combining existing open datasets using open source software.
GloBI continuously scans existing data infrastructures and registries and tracks the species interactions data they make available. Found species interaction data are then resolved and integrated. So, rather than being a giant centralized repository of species interaction data, GloBI is more of a search index that helps to find existing species interaction datasets in their native cyber-habitat.
To credit GloBI for more easily finding interaction data, please use to following citation to reference GloBI:

Global Cryosphere Watch - World Meteorological Organization
The World Meteorological Organization's Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW) is an international mechanism for supporting all key cryospheric in-situ and remote sensing observations. To meet the needs of WMO Members and partners in delivering services to users, the media, public, decision and policy makers, GCW provides authoritative, clear, and useable data, information, and analyses on the past, current and future state of the cryosphere. GCW includes observation, monitoring, assessment, product development, prediction, and research. It provides the framework for reliable, comprehensive, sustained observing of the cryosphere through a coordinated and integrated approach on national to global scales to deliver quality-assured global and regional products and services. GCW organizes analyses and assessments of the cryosphere to support science, decision-making and environmental policy. To meet these objectives, GCW implementation encompasses:
Requirements: Meet evolving cryospheric observing requirements of WMO Members, partners, and the scientific community, by contributing to the WMO Rolling Review of Requirements (RRR) process;
Integration: Provide a framework to assess the state of the cryosphere and its interactions within the Earth System;
Standardization: Enhance the quality of observational data by improving observing standards and best practices for the measurement of essential cryospheric variables;
Access: Improve exchange of, access to, and utilization of observations and products from WMO observing systems and those of its partners;
Coordination: Foster research and development activities and coherent planning for future observing systems and global observing network optimization.
The observing component of GCW is a component of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). Through WIGOS and the WMO Information System (WIS), GCW will provide a fundamental contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). GCW will organize analyses and assessments of the cryosphere to support science, decision-making, environmental policy and services through, inter alia, its foundational support to the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS).

Governance - Ocean Biodiversity Information System
After the successful decade-long Census of Marine Life project, for which OBIS was the data and information dissemination component, OBIS found a new home when in June 2009, the Member States of IOC-UNESCO adopted OBIS as part of its IODE programme. The IOC-UNESCO Member States had repeatedly identified the need to acquire biogeographic data for ocean and coastal resource management and agreed that knowledge of the ocean’s biodiversity is of such importance to national and global environmental issues that the responsibility for OBIS’ continuing success should be assumed by governments. The information below provides information on how OBIS fits into the mandates from the United Nations, UNESCO and IOC, and provide links to the decisions and recommendations and the workplan which are developed as part of the OBIS steering group and IODE.

Great Lakes Node - NOAA CoastWatch
CoastWatch is a nationwide National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) program within which the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) functions as the Great Lakes regional node. In this capacity, GLERL obtains, produces, and delivers environmental data and products for near real-time observation of the Great Lakes to support environmental science, decision making, and supporting research. This is achieved by providing access to near real-time and retrospective satellite observations and in-situ Great Lakes data. The goals and objectives of the CoastWatch Great Lakes Program directly support NOAA’s statutory responsibilities in estuarine and marine science living marine resource protection, and ecosystem monitoring and management.
The CoastWatch node at GLERL provides clients including Federal, state, and local agencies, academic institutions, commercial/industries and the public, both within and outside of the Great Lakes region, with access to near real-time satellite observations and in-situ data for the Great Lakes. CoastWatch data are used in a variety of ways, including near real-time observation and tracking of algal blooms, plumes, ice cover, wind, water intake temperatures at fish hatcheries, two and three dimensional modeling of Great Lakes physical parameters such as wave height and currents damage assessment modeling, research, and educational and recreational activities. In addition, through a cooperative project with Michigan Sea Grant, Great Lakes CoastWatch satellite-derived surface temperature imagery is contoured and made available via Michigan State Sea Grant’s web site. Great Lakes CoastWatch data and products benefit riparians as well as commercial and recreational users.
GLERL is currently receiving a product suite of 33 enhanced digital images including satellite-derived surface temperature (Fig. 1.1), visible and near-infrared reflectance, brightness temperatures, cloud masks, and satellite/solar zenith angle data from the NOAA/AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) series of satellites as well as GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) visible, near infrared, and water vapor data. These products are acquired by GLERL from NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) on a daily schedule via Internet. In addition, MODIS true color 250m resolution imagery (Fig. 1.2) of each Great Lake (received near real-time from the Space Science and Engineering Center at the University of Wisconsin), in-situ and modeled data, including marine and meteorological observations, buoy observations, water level gauge measurements from NOAA's National Ocean Service, and Great Lakes Surface Environmental Analysis (GLSEA) composite charts (Fig. 1.3), are routinely acquired or produced, stored, and made available to Great Lakes CoastWatch data users. Great Lakes Forecasting system (nowcast and forecast) products are also available to CoastWatch data users. Near real-time AVHRR satellite data for the past 2 weeks are available at GLERL, and access to a retrospective archive that begins in 1990 is available via an Internet link to the NOAA CoastWatch Active Access System at the NESDIS Satellite Active Archive.
CoastWatch is a nationwide National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) program within which the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) functions as the Great Lakes regional node. In this capacity, GLERL obtains, produces, and delivers environmental data and products for near real-time observation of the Great Lakes to support environmental science, decision making, and supporting research. This is achieved by providing access to near real-time and retrospective satellite observations and in-situ Great Lakes data. The goals and objectives of the CoastWatch Great Lakes Program directly support NOAA’s statutory responsibilities in estuarine and marine science living marine resource protection, and ecosystem monitoring and management.
The CoastWatch node at GLERL provides clients including Federal, state, and local agencies, academic institutions, commercial/industries and the public, both within and outside of the Great Lakes region, with access to near real-time satellite observations and in-situ data for the Great Lakes. CoastWatch data are used in a variety of ways, including near real-time observation and tracking of algal blooms, plumes, ice cover, wind, water intake temperatures at fish hatcheries, two and three dimensional modeling of Great Lakes physical parameters such as wave height and currents damage assessment modeling, research, and educational and recreational activities. In addition, through a cooperative project with Michigan Sea Grant, Great Lakes CoastWatch satellite-derived surface temperature imagery is contoured and made available via Michigan State Sea Grant’s web site.

HF Radar - Integrated Ocean Observing System (ODIS id: 1229)
High frequency (HF) radar systems measure the speed and direction of ocean surface currents in near real-time. Currents in the ocean are equivalent to winds in the atmosphere because they move things from one location to another. These currents carry nutrients as well as pollutants, so it is important to know the currents for ecological and economic reasons. The currents carry any floating object, which is why U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue operators use HF radar data to make critical decisions when rescuing disabled vessels and people stranded in the water.
These radars can measure currents over a large region of the coastal ocean, from a few kilometers offshore up to about 200 km, and can operate under any weather conditions. They are located near the water’s edge, and need not be situated atop a high point of land. Traditionally, crews placed current measuring devices directly into the water to retrieve current speeds. While these direct measurement systems are still widely used as a standard reference, HF radars are the only sensors that can measure large areas at once with the detail that is required for the important applications described here. Not even satellites have the temporal and spatial resolution for coastal ocean current measurement.

Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System
The Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System (HRECOS) is a robust environmental monitoring network operated and managed by a consortium of governmental, academic, and private institutions with shared interest in high-frequency monitoring in the Hudson River watershed. HRECOS monitoring stations are geographically distributed along the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, and are equipped with sensors that continuously record a suite of water quality and weather parameters every 15 minutes, with most stations operating year-round. Remote telemetry at each station transmits real-time data for the public to freely view and download using an easily-accessible interface at hrecos.org. HRECOS works to improve the capacity of regional river and estuary stakeholders to: understand the ecosystem and manage water resources, provide baseline monitoring data necessary for applied research and modeling, support the use of real-time data in educational settings, provide policy makers and emergency managers with data products to guide decision making, and provide information for safe and efficient commercial use and recreational activities.

Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology
The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) has been engaged in a variety of research and development activities as one of Japan’s research institutes covering a broad spectrum of marine science and technology.
Recent years have seen great and dramatic changes in Japan’s social circumstances. In particular, the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred on 11 March 2011, required a re-examination and re-evaluation of the entire concept of Japan’s future, including national disaster prevention/mitigation measures and approaches to global environmental problems.
On a more positive note, the research and development conducted by JAMSTEC during the past five years have significantly progressed beyond originally conceived domains. At the same time, immediate application of research results is demanded by society more than ever before, and thus, greater efforts are being made to satisfy such demands.
Taking this into account, and looking at the next 15 years, JAMSTEC has decided to reconsider its goals and approaches and to redefine them as a new vision.

Japan Ocean Biodiversity Information System (ODIS id: 2166)
JAMSTEC has served as a regional OBIS node for Japan for years with support from the Japan Oceanographic Data Center. It has gathered data on the distribution of marine species recorded by Japanese researchers, and made them openly accessible through the Biological Information System for Marine Life (BISMaL) – a database operated by JAMSTEC, and through OBIS. In recognition of such efforts, JAMSTEC was accepted as an Associate Data Unit (ADU) of IODE on January 19, 2015, giving JAMSTEC a much more important role as the regional OBIS node for Japan.
The regional OBIS node for Japan at JAMSTEC changed its name on April 1 from the Japan Regional OBIS Node (J-RON) to the Japan Ocean Biogeographic Information System Center (J-OBIS), and its secretariat was placed under JAMSTEC's Global Oceanographic Data Center (GODAC) located in Nago, Okinawa. And today, on July 1, the J-OBIS website was launched for Japanese researchers and data providers.
J-OBIS will continue its efforts to gather the marine geographical data from biological research in Japan and make them available through BISMaL and OBIS to researchers and data collectors in the world, with the cooperation of Japanese research institutions.

Marine Core Repository and Laboratory - Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (ODIS id: 2100)
Marine Core Repository and Laboratory - Taiwan Ocean Research Institute
By participating IMAGES (International Marine Past Global Change Study) program, Taiwanese scientists have used successfully the great capabilities of long coring system such as that on French R/V Marion Dufresne in the last decade by collecting very long cores (>40 m) in many important locations in the seas around Taiwan and the western Pacific. For the needs of marine geology and geophysics studies, a 2000-ton Research Vessel Legend of TORI equips with a giant CALYPSO coring system and deep-sea winch system, which is as well as R/V Marion Dufresne coring facilities. The sea trial of giant piston/gravity coring system onboard the R/V Legend (LGD-T31: 2019.12.10-12; LGD-T32: 2020.01.14-16) provides a good opportunity to examine the core quality on the recovered sediment. To perform continuous sequences of undisturbed sediments taken with the 8-m giant piston/gravity coring system, we compared several marine cores in the Kaoping shelf/slope offshore southwestern Taiwan. Overall, the recovery for these cores is ~25-28%. Based on AMS radiocarbon dating with mixed planktic foraminifera, we find the ages of 0-1 cm sediment sample at Core LGD-T31-B-PC1 and LGD-T31-B-PC2 are ~ 1 ka. It implies some coretop sediments are lack during coring. We further observe that LGD-T32 cores are severe stretched than others. The upper section of core LGD-T32-A-PC is stretched by up to 30 cm. Though sediment stretching and disturbances are existed at these giant piston cores, we consider the similarity of non-destructive measurements at downcore sediments confirmed that both cores record the same climatic and environmental changes. For having indispensable high-resolution records to unravel past ocean and climate dynamics, further sea trail and technology development are needed to improve recovery.

Marine Training - European Marine Biological Resource Centre
The Marine Training platform is a an EMBRC-ERIC service platform dedicated to Marine education and training. EMBRC-ERIC is a pan-European 'research infrastructure' for marine biology and ecology research. With its services, it aims to answer fundamental questions regarding the health of oceanic ecosystems in a changing environment. Training the next generation as well as re-training the current generation of Blue workers belongs to the key goals of the infrastructure. This Marine Training platfom hopes to give answer to trainees in search of a training and trainers looking for support.
MarineTraining.eu started in 2013 as one of the services of the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC) and it is hosted at Ghent University (UGent). Since its foundation more than 200 years ago, Ghent University is a centre of excellence in academic education and research. Maritime and Marine skills were ubiquitous in the history of the University and in its current research and education curricula. Within the principles of cross-disciplinarity, transferable skills, internationalization, industry collaboration, and lifelong learning, an interdisciplinary consortium within the university has been set up in order to generate innovative results, enhance technological innovation and boost Marine science training. Consequently, that vast expertise in Marine human capacity building allowed Ghent University to coordinate and to participate in numerous European Commission funded research projects and joint programmes for the enhancement of human potential to fully integrate higher education, research and industry.
In the light of this background, the Marine Training Platform has been initiated as one of the services of the ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) EMBRC project to facilitate and centralize access to Marine human capacity building opportunities in Europe.
Marine Training's main driver was the total lack of information and overview for finding Marine and Maritime Master programmes in Europe. As a result, the Marine Training Platform was born and is continuously expanding to showcase numerous programme and short course offers around the world.

Mediterranean Ocean Biodiversity Information System (ODIS id: 2176)
Mediterranean Ocean Biodiversity Information System
The Mediterranean Ocean Biodiversity Information System (MedOBIS) is a distributed system that allows you to search multiple datasets simultaneously for biogeographic information on marine organisms. An attempt to collect, format, analyze and disseminate surveyed marine biological data deriving from the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea region is currently under development at the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (HCMR, Greece). The effort has been supported by the MedOBIS project (Mediterranean Ocean Biodiversity Information System) and has been carried out in cooperation with the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki (Greece), the National Institute of Oceanography (Israel), and the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas (Ukraine). The aim is to develop a taxon-based biogeography database and online data server with a link to survey and provide satellite environmental data. In its completion, the MedOBIS online marine biological data system (http://www.medobis.org/) will be a single source of biological and environmental data (raw and analyzed) as well as an online GIS tool for access to historical and current data by marine researchers. It will function as the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea node of EurOBIS (the European node of the International OBIS initiative, part of the Census of Marine Life). The spatial component of data has led to the integration of datasets by means of the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. The latter is widely used as the natural framework for spatial data handling. GIS serves as the basic technological infrastructure for several online marine biodiversity databases available on the Internet today. Developments like OBIS (Ocean Biodiversity Information System, http://www.iobis.org/), OBIS-SEAMAP (Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertebrate Populations, http://seamap.env.duke.edu) and FIGIS (FAO Fisheries Global Information System, http://www.fao.org/fi/figis) facilitate the study of anthropogenic impacts on threatened species, enhance our ability to test biogeographic and biodiversity models, support modeling efforts to predict distribution changes in response to environmental change and develop a strong potential for the public outreach component. In addition, such online database systems provide a broader view of marine biodiversity problems and allow the development of management practices that are based on synthetic analysis of interdisciplinary data. Towards this end, a new online marine biological information system is developed. MedOBIS (Mediterranean Ocean Biodiversity Information System) intends to assemble, formulate and disseminate marine biological data for the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions focusing on the assurance and longevity of historical surveyed data, the assembly of current and new information, and the dissemination of raw and integrated biological and environmental data and future products through the Internet. To provide a taxon-based search capability to the MedOBIS development, the sampling data, as well as the relevant spatial data, are stored in the database, so taxonomic data can be linked with the geographical data by queries. To reference each species to its location on the map, the database queries are stored and added to the applet as individual layers. A search function written in JavaScript searches the attribute data of that layer displays the results in a separate window and marks the matching stations on the map. Finally, selecting several stations by drawing a zooming rectangle on the map provides a list with predefined themes from which the user may select more information. As more data will be assembled in time-series databases, additional future work will include the development of the MedOBIS data analysis phase, which is planned to include GIS modeling/mapping of species-environment interactions.

Mentor Database - Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (ODIS id: 1751)
Mentor Database - Association of Polar Early Career Scientists
Since its inception, APECS activities have aimed to help provide a continuum of knowledge in polar and cryospheric research. We are very grateful to the many senior researchers and professionals that have served as mentors for our many activities. In an effort to ensure a broad representation of mentors at our events, and to help young researchers around the globe develop relationships with senior mentors, APECS is creating a database of those people willing to serve as mentors to young researchers in a variety of ways. This may include meeting students at conferences, answering email enquiries and providing general career guidance for young scientists.
The key role played by mentors within APECS is sharing their knowledge and insights with APECS members through personal communication with early-career researchers or through presentations/participation in mentor panel discussions, career development workshops and APECS meetings/symposia. We hope mentors will be approachable; be able to respond to the occasional email, and be happy to comment on ideas or research proposals. However, we also understand that mentors may be unavailable for periods of time and will need to manage these activities in a sustainable way.

Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System - NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction
MADIS is a meteorological observational database and data delivery system that provides observations that cover the globe.
MADIS ingests data from NOAA data sources and non-NOAA providers, decodes the data then encodes all of the observational data into a common format with uniform observational units and time stamps. Quality checks are conducted and the integrated data sets are stored along with a series of flags indicating the results of the various QC checks. MADIS provides several methods for users to access the data to meet their needs. Users can request data from July of 2001, which is when MADIS was first available to the public, to the present.
To provide these services, MADIS leverages partnerships with international agencies; federal, state, and local agencies (e.g., states' Departments of Transportation); universities; volunteer networks; and the private sector (e.g., airlines, railroads) to integrate and quality check observations from their stations with those of NOAA.
MADIS runs operationally at the NWS National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Central Operations (NCO) as part of the Integrated Dissemination Project (IDP). All MADIS data is being added to NOAA's data archive that is run by the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Research and development efforts are being provided by NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) Global Systems Division (GSD).

Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources of Namibia
The vision of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources is for Namibia to be a leading nation with a well-developed aquaculture industry, to responsibly manage living aquatic and resources to continuously ensure a conducive environment for the fishing and aquaculture sector to prosper.
While environmental uncertainties must always be recognised as an issue in any strategy for the fishing industry, the government has accepted that some level of certainty for fishing companies must be in place. A clear statement of the government's intent in the development and management of the fisheries sector has thus been made and the mechanisms for long term rights and fish quotas established.
Critical main sector issues are as follows:
Maintaining stock recovery. This is required to ensure the sustainable utilisation of marine resources. This will be achieved by the promotion of stock recovery to long term sustainable yield levels through the conservation of marine resources and the protection of the Namibian EEZ. The current strategy is setting total allowable catches (TACs) at levels low enough to promote recovery of depleted stocks.
Compliance Control:
To protect the Namibian EEZ, the Ministry will continue to curb illegal fishing and harmful fishing practices. Monitoring, control and surveillance will become an even more important issue in the future, since the enhanced status of fish stocks will become an increasingly attractive target for illegal fishing.
Industrial development:
To ensure that gains in rebuilding fish resources are translated into economic gains in terms of increased private incomes, employment and government revenue, the industry must be given a viable economic environment. Furthermore, to ensure that the central importance of maintaining a policy environment that encourages investment is recognised. This is especially important in on-shore processing and in areas such as quality control and export promotion.
Namibianisation:
To be able to take up opportunities provided by development of the fisheries sector, Namibians must be able to acquire skills through training. In addition, to increase the role which Namibian businesses play in the sector, supporting policies and programmes are needed for the allocation of fishing rights and quotas. This goal will be achieved by strengthening the research and training capacities of the fishing industry.

National Oceanographic Data Committee of the Netherlands
The National Oceanographic Data Committee (NODC) of the Netherlands is the national platform for exchange of oceanographic and marine data and information, and for advisory services in the field of ocean and marine data management.
The speed and the ease with which users can identify, locate, access, exchange and use oceanographic and marine data, data products and information are vital for the success of marine research projects, for effective support of marine economic activities, and sustainable marine environmental management. Data are acquired for a wide range of disciplines, by in-situ and remote sensing observations, using a large variety of platforms, instruments and methods, and are processed and managed by thousands of institutes and agencies from all over the globe. Data are required by end-users and intermediate users at different time scales, from real-time with first level automatic quality indicators to long data series, validated through extensive quality control.
Ocean and marine data and information are very important for research, but also for monitoring, predicting and managing the marine environment, assessing fish stocks and biodiversity, offshore engineering, controling any hazard or disaster, and tourist industry. Data support the execution of international protocols, conventions and agreements, which have been signed by coastal states for protection of the seas, such as the OSPAR convention for the North Sea. Data are also essential for implementation of Europe’s environmental policy concerning Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), the Water Framework Directive, and the new Marine Strategy.
Users want easy identification, viewing, access and combination of data across disciplines, organisations and countries, using internet facilities.
Therefore the overall objective of the National Oceanographic Data Committee (NODC) of the Netherlands is to effect a major and significant improvement in the overview and access to marine and oceanographic data and data-products from government and research institutes in the Netherlands. This is not done alone and only with a national focus, but on a European scale as an active partner in the Pan-European SeaDataNet project and on a global scale as the Netherlands representative in major international organisations in this field, ICES and IOC-IODE.
SeaDataNet is the leading initiative in Europe, actively operating and further developing a Pan-European infrastructure for managing, indexing and providing access to ocean and marine data sets and data products, acquired via research cruises and other observational activities. SeaDataNet is coordinated by the National Oceanographic Data Centre’s from 35 countries around European seas. This is done as an EU Research Infrastructures I3 project, which was awarded in the FP6 programme and began in early 2006. It focuses on interconnecting the data centres to provide integrated on-line access to the most comprehensive sets of multi- disciplinary in-situ and remote sensing marine data, meta-data and products.
This underpins European directives and recent large-scale framework programmes on global and European scales (GEOSS and GMES), that urge provision of access to, and exchange of, environmental data and information. The Blue Paper on an integrated EU maritime policy strongly promotes an integrated and intersectorial approach to ocean affairs in Europe which requires reinforced cooperation and effective coordination of all sea-related policies at the different decision-making levels. As one of its measures it proposes the development of a European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODNet) to facilitate long-term and sustainable access to the interoperable, high-quality data necessary to understand biological, chemical and physical behaviour of seas and oceans.
The INSPIRE Directive aims for the creation of a European spatial information infrastructure that delivers integrated spatial information services to end-users. These services should allow users to identify and access spatial or geographical information from a wide range of sources, from the local level to the global level, in an inter-operable way for a variety of uses. The implementation is foreseen as ‘system of systems’, indicating that where possible use will be made of existing components, organisations and networks.

The National Oceanographic Data Committee (NODC) of the Netherlands undertakes a national project NODCi (2006 – 2009) for developing and implementing a national network, interconnecting the data centres of major marine institutes in the Netherlands.

Abstract
The National Oceanographic Data Committee (NODC) of the Netherlands is the national platform for exchange of oceanographic and marine data and information, and for advisory services in the field of ocean and marine data management.
The speed and the ease with which users can identify, locate, access, exchange and use oceanographic and marine data, data products and information are vital for the success of marine research projects, for effective support of marine economic activities, and sustainable marine environmental management. Data are acquired for a wide range of disciplines, by in-situ and remote sensing observations, using a large variety of platforms, instruments and methods, and are processed and managed by thousands of institutes and agencies from all over the globe. Data are required by end-users and intermediate users at different time scales, from real-time with first level automatic quality indicators to long data series, validated through extensive quality control.
Ocean and marine data and information are very important for research, but also for monitoring, predicting and managing the marine environment, assessing fish stocks and biodiversity, offshore engineering, controling any hazard or disaster, and tourist industry. Data support the execution of international protocols, conventions and agreements, which have been signed by coastal states for protection of the seas, such as the OSPAR convention for the North Sea. Data are also essential for implementation of Europe’s environmental policy concerning Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), the Water Framework Directive, and the new Marine Strategy.
Users want easy identification, viewing, access and combination of data across disciplines, organisations and countries, using internet facilities.
Therefore the overall objective of the National Oceanographic Data Committee (NODC) of the Netherlands is to effect a major and significant improvement in the overview and access to marine and oceanographic data and data-products from government and research institutes in the Netherlands. This is not done alone and only with a national focus, but on a European scale as an active partner in the Pan-European SeaDataNet project and on a global scale as the Netherlands representative in major international organisations in this field, ICES and IOC-IODE.

North Pacific Research Board
The North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) was created by Congress under Title IV of H.R. 2107, signed into law on November 14, 1997 as P.L. 105-83 and codified as 43 U.S.C. §1474d. The Board was established in 2001. The Board is authorized to recommend marine research to the Secretary of Commerce to be funded through a competitive grant program using part of the interest earned from the Environmental Improvement and Restoration Fund (EIRF) created under 43 U.S.C. §1474d. The EIRF was part of a large settlement by the U.S. Supreme Court pertaining to a land dispute in the Arctic known as Dinkum Sands. The enabling legislation requires the funds to be used to conduct research on or relating to the fisheries or marine ecosystems in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean. NPRB must strive to avoid duplicating other research and must emphasize research designed to address pressing fishery management issues or marine ecosystem information needs.

Oceans and Atmosphere - Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
Understanding Australia's variable and changing climate will allow industries and communities to increase their resilience, prepare and respond, particularly in relation to natural disasters. CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere provides information about the health of the atmosphere, from long-lived greenhouse gases and aerosols that change the heat stored in the atmosphere, right through to hazardous air pollutants that influence human and ecosystem health. We use this information to ensure that our climate and earth system models can accurately simulate the likely impacts of human behaviour on our earth systems into the future.
Sharing our ocean's wealth for the benefit of all Australians requires careful balancing of multiple uses and conservation through planning, management and cooperation. CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere provides the large-scale multidisciplinary science to inform this use of Australia's marine environment. We develop tools for decision making in coastal regions and provide scientific support to authorities and industries responsible for the sustainable management and use of Australian and international fisheries.

Oceanscape
Oceanscape is an effort of the Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO), initially created in partnership with the GEO Blue Planet Initiative, to identify the numerous organisations (including projects, programmes, and other structures) working in the “ocean space”, and to clarify the connections between them (as well as identifying opportunities to make connections where none exist).
POGO, a founding member of GEO Blue Planet, led the development of, and continues to maintain the Oceanscape portal. This portal, which was launched during Ocean Obs’19 in September 2019, is a community effort that aims to serve a variety of stakeholders:
the scientific community, who may not be aware of all the initiatives taking place in the “ocean space”, and who could benefit from identifying synergies, new collaborations and avoiding overlap or duplication;
NGOs, as well as the private sector, who may be looking for suitable organisations for collaboration;
governments and funding agencies, who may not have a clear picture of the “oceanscape” of organisations, what they are each doing and how they differ from one another.

POGO, a founding member of GEO Blue Planet, led the development of, and continues to maintain the Oceanscape portal. This portal, which was launched during Ocean Obs’19 in September 2019, is a community effort that aims to serve a variety of stakeholders:
the scientific community, who may not be aware of all the initiatives taking place in the “ocean space”, and who could benefit from identifying synergies, new collaborations and avoiding overlap or duplication;
NGOs, as well as the private sector, who may be looking for suitable organisations for collaboration;
governments and funding agencies, who may not have a clear picture of the “oceanscape” of organisations, what they are each doing and how they differ from one another.

The Ocean Tracking Network is a global aquatic animal tracking, data management, and partnership platform headquartered at Dalhousie University in Canada.
OTN and its partners are using electronic tags to track many keystones, commercially important, and endangered species at an international scale, across all ocean regions.
The OTN Data Centre is responsible for the collection, aggregation, cross-referencing, and dissemination (both public and private) of acoustic detection data. OTNDC also maintains linkages to sibling acoustic telemetry data centres all over the world and feeds global biogeographical information systems such as OBIS with animal tracking data as it is eventually made publicly available under the terms of the OTN Data Policy.

Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia
Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) was created with a clear mission—to foster and sustain healthy and resilient coasts and oceans, communities and economies across the Seas of East Asia through integrated management solutions and partnerships.
For over two decades, the organization has provided solutions for effective management of coasts and oceans across the shared seas of East Asia. As the regional coordinating mechanism for the Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA), a shared marine strategy among 14 countries in the region, PEMSEA works with national and local governments, companies, research and science institutions, communities, international agencies, regional programs, investors and donors towards implementation of the SDS-SEA. Crucial networks such as learning centers also contribute their expertise and coastal management skills to the shared goals of the SDS-SEA.
We aim to proactively build effective intergovernmental and intersectoral partnerships and expand the capacities of countries and other stakeholders with innovative, cross-cutting policies, tools and services for integrated coastal and ocean management. PEMSEA applies integrated coastal management (ICM) as our primary approach for generating and sustaining healthy oceans, people and economies.

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

Permanent Commission of the South Pacific
The Permanent Commission of the South Pacific (CPPS), constitutes a regional maritime system, an alliance, a strategic, political and operational option in the Southeast Pacific, to consolidate the presence of the coastal countries in said geographical area and its projection in an effective and coordinated, both towards the surrounding areas and the link with the Pacific Basin.
The origin of the CPPS dates back to 1952 when its founding document, the Declaration of Santiago, was signed. This manifestation was a visionary document whose content in the preamble states: "Governments have the obligation to ensure their peoples the necessary conditions of subsistence and to provide them with the means for their economic development" (Santiago Declaration of 1952).
The Permanent Commission of the South Pacific (CPPS) is an intergovernmental organization, created by agreement between Chile, Ecuador and Peru, to which Colombia subsequently joined in 1979. Therefore, the CPPS is a legal person under international law in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement of Paracas, Peru, of January 14, 1966.
The CPPS is the Executive Secretary of the 1981 Lima Agreement and the Action Plan for the Protection of the Marine Environment and Coastal Areas of the Southeast Pacific.
The CPPS has established a north and has defined the crucial actions to achieve it by incorporating in its philosophy a new strategic orientation that contemplates, in its development, the ability to understand the environment, in its context and the opportunities that derive from it. The institution has been managing the protection of its maritime resources for sixty years.
Today the CPPS is an organization that promotes and coordinates cooperation between its members and with other organizations of the international community in maritime affairs. Its main activities include carrying out scientific studies related to the El Niño phenomenon in order to timely forecast this phenomenon and alert their populations to the climatic risks associated with this event. This activity is carried out through research cruises carried out with the support of the research vessels of the four member countries, coordinated by the CPPS, constituting a joint action, unique at the international level.
Another important activity of the CPPS in the field of prevention is the coordination of the regional tsunami warning system in the Southeast Pacific, it promotes education for the population in order to reduce their risks and their effects on coastal populations and also helps in the adequate preparation of prevention institutions to face these phenomena.
The CPPS maintains support programs for artisanal fishing promoting the training of fishermen in order to guarantee sustainable fishing and avoid overexploitation of marine resources. In this same context, the CPPS supports the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, an activity that puts the resources of our region at risk and that requires a coordinated effort from its member countries. The CPPS and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Representation in Ecuador collaborate to promote the adoption of the port state governing agreement and its main criteria.
Another management coordinated by the CPPS is the support to its member states for an adequate assessment of their marine and coastal ecosystems in order to create awareness of their economic importance for the benefit of their population.
In addition, the CPPS, as Executive Secretary of the 1981 Lima Agreement and of the Action Plan, carries out activities to monitor and control marine pollution in each of the member countries, providing an updated overview of the state of ocean health in the Southeast Pacific region.

Platforms and Programs - World Ocean Council (ODIS id: 2245)
The World Ocean Council (WOC) is a global, cross-sectoral ocean industry leadership alliance committed to “Corporate Ocean Responsibility”, developed by and for the private sector, with a unique and multi-sectoral approach to address cross-cutting issues affecting ocean sustainable development, science and stewardship of the seas.
The WOC believes that responsible and coordinated Ocean Business Community efforts are essential to a healthy and productive global ocean and its sustainable use, development and stewardship by a responsible Ocean Business Community.
To this end, the WOC engages and brings together leaders from the various ocean industries, including shipping, oil and gas, fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, renewable energy (wind, wave, tidal), ports, dredging, cables, as well as the maritime legal, financial and insurance communities, and others to collaborate on responsible use of the seas. We ensure that the Ocean Business Community’s role in ocean sustainable development is understood by all relevant stakeholders (decision makers, policy makers, intergovernmental bodies etc.).
The WOC is growing steadily, as an increasing number and range of ocean industry companies from around the world are distinguishing themselves as leaders in “Corporate Ocean Responsibility” by joining the WOC. More broadly, the continually expanding global WOC network includes 35,000+ ocean industry and media stakeholders around the world.
The WOC is committed to advancing the development and implementation of industry-driven solutions to ocean sustainable development challenges. To this end, the WOC is bringing together the diverse Ocean Business Community and participants from other ocean stakeholders, to collaborate through cross-sectoral “Ocean Platforms” focused on ocean sustainability, science and the challenges of ocean stewardship.

Program - DigiShape
The DigiShape program is designed as a matrix of 4 horizontal data science program lines and 5 vertical program lines that match the most important societal challenges within the water sector. The focus within DigiShape is on innovating and experimenting with new data science techniques within the water sector. For that reason we do not apply strict limits to the program lines; for example, the vertical program line drought also includes projects that focus on, for example, water quality or climate adaptation.
The individual DigiShape projects are generally linked to several program lines (usually 1 vertical application line and several horizontal data science lines). In this way we guarantee optimal coherence within the program and we stimulate a broad exchange of knowledge about the various social themes.
Below you will find an overview of the different data lines. Clicking on this will take you to a specific page for these program lines with more information and an overview of all related projects.

This collection of RFBs summary descriptions was designed to facilitate users understanding of worldwide Regional Fishery Bodies.
Using a GIS approach, maps of area of competence for each Regional Fishery Bodies were prepared. When available, limits of the areas were extracted from the statutory documents of the Regional Fishery Bodies. In absence of established limits, a combination of geographic features from authoritative sources was used to assist in defining the approximate limits of the areas of competences.

Ships of Opportunity - Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System
The IMOS Ships of Opportunity (SOOP) Facility uses a combination of volunteer commercial and research vessels to collect data relating to physical, chemical and biological oceanography and ecology. As chartered vessels for equipment deployment are expensive and time consuming, the use of volunteer vessels, in addition to equipment especially designed to be deployed efficiently and without the need for high-level technical experience is at the core of the Ships of Opportunity Facility.
The use of vessels that undertake continuous transects between ports or regions allow seasonal and annual datasets to be established. The Ships of Opportunity Facility builds upon similar pre-existing programs, expanding to collect a wider variety of data and increasing the number of vessels fitted with the various sampling equipment. The Ships of Opportunity Facility consists of nine different sub-facilities.

Southern African Data Centre for Oceanography
The Southern African Data Centre for Oceanography (SADCO) stores, retrieves and manipulates multi-disciplinary marine information from the areas around Southern Africa.
SADCO has been in existence since the 1960's, and is now being hosted by the Department of Environmental Affairs: Oceans and Coasts (DEA:OC) after previously having been hosted by The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) South Africa. The history of SADCO can be read here.
All new data submitted to SADCO after March 2019 will be archived in the Marine Information Management System (MIMS) and will not be published in SADCO. The data held by SADCO will be slowly transferred to MIMS and once that is complete the old SADCO system will be decommissioned.
Thank you to CSIR, Namibian Ministry for Fisheries and Marine Resources, South African Environmental Observation Network and the South African Navy for their funding support up until March 2019, and to the members of the steering committee that guided SADCO, in particular the Chairs.

Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) are protected areas in the UK. the UK Government and devolved administrations are required to establish a network of important high-quality conservation sites that will make a significant contribution to conserving the habitats and species identified in Annexes I and II, respectively, of European Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, known as the Habitats Directive. The listed habitat types and species are those considered to be most in need of conservation at a European level (excluding birds). Of the Annex I habitat types, 78 are believed to occur in the UK. Of the Annex II species, 43 are native to, and normally resident in, the UK.

Underwater Gliders - Integrated Ocean Observing System
Gliders are a unique and important observing system used to serve a variety of subsurface observing missions. Gliders can monitor water currents, temperature, tagged animals and conditions that reveal effects from storms, impacts on fisheries, and the quality of our water. This information creates a more complete picture of what is happening in the ocean, as well as trends scientists, might be able to detect. These versatile vehicles collect information from deep water, as well as at the surface, at a lower cost and less risk than ever before. As scientists deploy more gliders, they are revolutionizing how we observe our ocean. These robots propel us closer to that revolution.
IOOS is now supporting an Underwater Glider User Group (UG2) as well as a glider Data Assembly Center (DAC).

By the resolution of the Council of Ministers of 04.12.1963 № 1188-437, the Resolution from 16.12.64 № 287), as well as on the orders of Chief of the Hydrometeorological Service of Academician E.K. Fedorov in Obninsk was founded Natinal Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). In 1971 NODC became a part of RIHMI-IDC. Creation of data center was a major decision to establish the scientific, organizational and legal basis for the formation of the State Fund of data (GOSFOND) for oceanography and agencies to ensure that data from all ministries and agencies engaged in the study of oceans and seas and their resources.
Main tasks of NODC are:
Development of concepts and projects to automate the collection, storage, processing and exchange of information on the marine environment, using modern information and communication technologies;
Development of technology integration;
Development of software application processing of oceanographic data;
Scientific and methodical management units Roshydromet for automating the processing of oceanographic data;
Participation in international activities.
Over the years the NODC has done a lot of organizational and methodological work to identify and record oceanographic data in the NIU various agencies of Russia, the development of formats and technologies entering the data on technical media, the creation of data processing software to meet user requests. Thus was developed a few technologies entry deep data on magnetic tape - the first with punch cards, which worked in 1965-1985., The second - with the tapes for the Seas of Russia (1970-1982 gg.), The third - for devices produce data on magnetic tapes ( 1985-1997 gg.) and PC (c 1995).
Along with identifying data that were collected, and after that - entering information on the technical media. In the mid-sixties, under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO, was launched the international exchange of oceanographic data on announced a national program with the National Oceanographic Data Centres USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and other countries. through WDC-A and B at the beginning in a tabular form, and from 1980 on tape, later on diskettes, compact disks, in the second half of the nineties by e-mail, and now through access to the databases online.
In 1970 NODC developed the first automated technology for data tables coastal observations, and in 1977 began recording the data on magnetic tape. Since 1981 RIHMI-MCD shall receive operational messages (BATHY, TESAC, buoys, ship),passed through the global telecommunication network.
Since 1974, data center staff began to participate in the work of teams of data management in the research vessels and put into practice the technologies developed RIHMI-WDC and AARI. As a result of purposeful activity in the data centerRIHMI-WDC was created by an array of national oceanographic data.
In NODC of RIHMI-WDC more than a dozen databases of background information on oceanographic data (cruises, an array of space - time coordinates of oceanographic stations, information about the observations of currents, marine coastal and estuarine stations and posts, observation platforms, formats, data storage morevedcheskih organizations; oceanographic data bases on technical media in various organizations are used. Supports common codes and classifiers (ships, countries, institutions, geographical areas, equipment, etc.) in a volume of more than 30 thousand parameters. more detail with reference information is available in a centralized database Metadata - http://www.esimo.ru/meta/.
To improve information services to scientists and engineers currently in the NODC of RIHMI-WDC widely used Web-based technologies, implemented in 1999-2012 as the subprogramme "United Information System of the World Ocean" Federal Target Program "World Ocean.
By the resolution of the Council of Ministers of 04.12.1963 № 1188-437, the Resolution from 16.12.64 № 287), as well as on the orders of Chief of the Hydrometeorological Service of Academician E.K. Fedorov in Obninsk was founded Natinal Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). In 1971 NODC became a part of RIHMI-IDC. Creation of data center was a major decision to establish the scientific, organizational and legal basis for the formation of the State Fund of data (GOSFOND) for oceanography and agencies to ensure that data from all ministries and agencies engaged in the study of oceans and seas and their resources.

The Western Channel Observatory (WCO) is an oceanographic time-series and marine biodiversity reference site in the Western English Channel. In situ measurements are undertaken weekly at coastal station L4 and fortnightly at open shelf station E1 using the research vessels of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Marine Biological Association. These measurements are complemented by PML's recognised excellence in ecosystem modelling and satellite remote sensing science. By integrating these different observational disciplines we can begin to disentangle the complexity of the marine ecosystem.
The WCO is a partnership between the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Marine Biological Association.

World Data System
The World Data System (WDS) is an Interdisciplinary Body of the International Science Council (ISC; formerly ICSU) created by its 29th General Assembly in Maputo, Mozambique in 2008.
In its Strategic Plan 2012–2017, ICSU has articulated its long-term vision of 'a world where excellence in science is effectively translated into policy making and socio-economic development. In such a world, universal and equitable access to scientific data and information is a reality and all countries have the scientific capacity to use these and to contribute to generating the new knowledge that is necessary to establish their own development pathways in a sustainable manner'
As an ISC Interdisciplinary Body, the mission of the World Data System is to support the ISC’s vision by promoting long-term stewardship of, and universal and equitable access to, quality-assured scientific data and data services, products, and information across all disciplines in the Natural and Social Sciences, and the Humanities. WDS aims to facilitate scientific research under the ISC umbrella by coordinating and supporting trusted scientific data services for the provision, use, and preservation of relevant datasets, while strengthening their links with the research community.
To fulfil its remit, WDS is building worldwide ‘communities of excellence’ for scientific data services by certifying Member Organizations—holders and providers of data or data products—from wide-ranging fields by using internationally recognized standards. WDS Members are the building blocks of a searchable common infrastructure, from which a data system that is both interoperable and distributed can be formed.
WDS brings its Member Organizations together to coordinate their activities and through that process, to achieve an overall capability that transcends individual ones. Membership in WDS provides the imprimatur of ISC—the leading international and multidisciplinary nongovernmental scientific organization—and increases local and international scientific recognition. Membership also increases exposure to potential users and collaborators internationally. It demonstrates that the Member Organizations have a strong and tangible commitment to open data sharing, data and service quality, and data preservation—all of which are increasingly considered prime requirements by science funders and are high on policymakers’ agendas since they benefit the scientific community, economy, and society in general.
The overall objectives of WDS are defined in its Constitution as follows:
Enable universal and equitable access to quality-assured scientific data, data services, products and information
Ensure long term data stewardship
Foster compliance to agreed-upon data standards and conventions
Provide mechanisms to facilitate and improve access to data and data products
The strategy for achieving these objectives is outlined in the current five-year Strategic Plan 2019–2023, structured around three major targets:
1. Improve the sustainability, trust in, and quality of open scientific data services.
2. Nurture active disciplinary and multidisciplinary scientific data services communities.
3. Make trustworthy data services an integral part of international collaborative scientific research.
