Presentation Transcript

  1. Development of a Marine Biological Data Portal within the framework of EMODNet Simon Claus, Leen Vandepitte and Tjess Hernandez Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ)

  2. Outline Presentation • Summarise progress • Demonstrate prototype portal • Indicate timetable for rest of project • Feedback from potential users? • Unexpected difficulties? • Information from other ur-emodnet projects EMODnet

  3. Summarise progress • WP1 Project Management • WP2 Technical Development • WP3 Data Digitisation, Standardisation, Analysis & Delivery • WP4 Data Management, QC/QA & Integration EMODnet

  4. WP1 Project Management • The Contract: • Signed 15/05/2009 between VLIZ and Commission • Consortium Agreement signed by all partners, first payments ok • Project Meetings • Kick Off Meeting in Brussels (04/06/2009) • Project Kick Off Meeting Ostend (all biological partners, 15/06/2009) • Second general EMODNet Meeting (24/11/2009) • Reports: • Five bi-monthly progress reports • First interim technical report (13/05/2010) EMODnet

  5. WP2 Technical Development • Development phase (M1-M12) - Launch prototype Portal • A project website with information on the progress of the project • Portal Functionalities • Metadata catalogue • Querying of the Data: • Taxonomic Query - Temporal Query - Geographic Query - Depth Query • Mapping of the data/GIS layers • Downloading of the data • OGC Compliancy, linked with WorMS and Seadatanet metadata compliant EMODnet

  6. WP3 Data Standardisation, Analysis & Delivery & WP4 Data Management, QC/QA & Integration • First year: focus on gap analysis EurOBIS and marine biological data inventory • First data products • Organisation workshop on biological data products EMODnet

  7. Gap analysis • Gap analysis and marine biological data inventory • Carried out end 2009 (207 datasets) • Based on public available data in EurOBIS

  8. EurOBIS EurOBIS ? • EurOBIS – European Ocean Biogeographic Information System (2004) • Biogeographic data on marine species: taxon-name, latitude, longitude, date • Freely available • Quality controlled data • International data flow • Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) • Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

  9. EurOBIS International data flow

  10. EurOBIS Available data 13,317,646 distribution records – 223 datasets

  11. EurOBIS EMODnet

  12. EurOBIS Gaps: temporal coverage

  13. EurOBIS Gaps: geographical coverage Analysis grid representing the number of distinct larger taxonomic groups (Mammals, Aves, Crustacea, Rotifera, Tunicata...) per grid-cell

  14. EurOBIS Gaps: taxonomic coverage 7078 Number of species per higher taxon group in EurOBIS compared to ERMS

  15. Data inventory Starting from known initiatives and networks • Goal of inventory • Identify existing marine biological datasets • How to accomplish? • Contact partner networks • EurOBIS, OBIS and GBIF (see gap analysis) • MARS Network (European Biological Research Stations and Institutes) and data legacy FP6 MarBEF • ICES data centre • Pangaea World Data Centre • IBSS and Black Sea Biological Network • SeaDataNet

  16. Data inventory MARS Network and data legacy FP6 MarBEF • Data collected through • FP5 Biomare (2000-2002) • FP6 MarBEF (2004-2009) • MARS partners (2009-2010) • Data inventory: • Total of 257 datasets • Sent to over 100 people • Question 1: knowledge of additional data? • Question 2: data available for EurOBIS-EMODNet? • Average response (±30%) Location of MARS member institutes

  17. Data inventory ICES • Data centre • DATRAS trawl surveys, 45 years • Biological community & contaminants and biological effects, 30 years • Predator-prey, 12 years • All will contribute to EMODNET, over 6 million records • Working groups • … on benthos ecology • … on zooplankton ecology => Partly available

  18. Data inventory World Data Centre MARE / PANGAEA • 1.5 million distribution records • Important plankton contribution => Already available to EMODnet

  19. Data inventory IBSS and ‘Black Sea Marine Biological Network’ • Data inventory: Total of 17 Black Sea datasets • IBSS historical data from different cruises (1877- …) • Zooplankton (1954 - …) • Phytoplankton (1968 - …) • Cetacea (1988 - …) • Black Sea Mnemiopsis leidyi and Beroe ovata database • Stock assessments Black and Azov Sea • Sebastopol Bay plankton monitoring • NATO TU – Black Sea (1954-1996) => Some data already available

  20. Data inventory SeaDataNet • FP6 Network of NODC’s • 49 partners (European NODC’s) • Link to physical-chemical data • Metadata inventory: in progr.

  21. Data inventory Identifying long-term marine monitoring datasets • Additional search for long-term biological data series • Two approaches • National marine biological monitoring • Regional marine biological monitoring • Work in progress

  22. Data inventory Focus • Area • Bay of Biscay • Iberian coast • Greater North Sea, including • Kattegat • English Channel • Groups • Benthos • Plankton • Macro-algae • Reptiles • Birds • Mammals Indication of the focal area of the Biological lot (blue)

  23. Data inventory Identified national marine biological monitoring data

  24. Data inventory Denmark • The Danish national database for marine data – MADS • National Environmental Research Insitute (NERU) • From 1979 onwards: 700 sites, 1,000 species • Plankton, benthos, algae and plants • Online available phytoplankton macro-algae & plants benthos

  25. Data inventory Identified regional marine biological monitoring data

  26. Gap analysis • Initial Data products Birds sampling effort – ES50 Annual anomalies of copepod abundance Mammals sampling effort – ES50 Mean seasonal chlorophyll a values

  27. Workshops: • Biological Data Products Workshop (25-26/02/2010) • Aim: • To define a set of derived data products (a.o. target species maps) relevant for private bodies, public authorities and researchers • Discuss the marine biological (monitoring) data availability in Europe and gaps • Present protoype portal to wide(r) community of European Biological Experts and capture feedback EMODnet

  28. Biological Data Products Workshop (Participants) • MARE, DG Research, OSPAR, ICES, HELCOM, Black Sea Commission, coordinators of the other lots, project partners and advisory board • Greece, France, UK, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Russia, Ukraine, US, New Zealand EMODnet

  29. Biological Data Products Workshop (Outcomes): • Workshop report in progr. recommendations for future work (data products, analysis) • Data products: • Species attributes (Identify species by tags: invasives, HAB’s) • Species distribution maps (maps based on actual data + prediction and possible range) • Time-related maps (map growth, biomass, size-structures on yearly, seasonally, monthly) • Sensitivity and vulnerability maps (Abiotic parameters needed, expert judgement necessary) EMODnet

  30. Conclusions – data inventory Discuss the marine biological (monitoring) data availability in Europe and gaps • Good progress towards complete biological data inventory for EU • Ongoing => more information expected • Need to bring actual data together Keep in mind… • Embargo period for research data • Regional reporting of national data => double entries! • Presence versus abundance/biomass data • Certain information needed for good integration

  31. Conclusions • Biological national monitoring data • Very few monitoring programmes cover all groups (benthos, plankton, birds, …)= Gaps in taxonomic coverage • Temporal span: start 70’s, 80’s, 90’s = no real historical data (pre-50’s) • Comparison between national programmes? = e.g. sampling methodologies identical or comparable? • Fine-tuning of national programmes on European level? EMODnet

  32. Demonstrate prototype portal EMODnet

  33. Indicate timetable for rest of project • Test and upgrade portal • Organization of data –analysis workshops for creation of specific data-products and data layers • Interoperability and OGC/INSPIRE compliancy - link to other portals • Formulate recommandations for future (worskhop report,...) EMODnet

  34. Indicate timetable for rest of project EMODnet

  35. Feedback from potential users? • Who will test the portal and provide feedback – workshop participants • Unexpected difficulties? • Nothing unexpected: Incomplete inventories, unwillingness to participate, inertia • Information from other ur-emodnet projects • Specific needs in data products that will be developped EMODnet

  36. THANK YOU! EMODnet
