  1. SCAR-MarBIN 2005-2009Project Management

  2. SCAR – MarBIN objectives • Provide access to biodiversity data for • Science • Conservation • Sustainable management • Build a data portal on Antarctic Marine Biodiversity Information • Offer analytic tools and services

  3. Belgian Biodiversity Platform Belgian GBIF, EPBRS, DIVERSITAS node DATA coordinator (Hendrik S) RBINS Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences VLIZ (EUROBIS) Flanders Marine Institute Biodiversity of Antarctic Zoobenthos (RBINS UG ULB Ulg UB) Université Libre de Bruxelles SCAR – MarBIN management SCAR-MarBIN OBIS Antarctic Node Scientific coordinator (Bruno D) IT staff (n.) Sen. scientific advisor (Claude D) International Advisory Committee: AAD, AWI, BAS, CAML, CCAMLR, GBIF, JCADM, OBIS, SCAR, int. Reviewers,… National coordination Committee: BBPF, BelSPO, BIANZO2, MUMM, OBIS, VLIZ,…

  4. Belgian Biodiversity Platform:an • Information • Science data • Science metadata • Science policy data • (Enviromental policy: CBD-CHM) • Services • Communication • Science – Science • Science – Policy • (Science – stakeholders) • Services Initiative by the Belgian federal science policy office

  5. Belgian Biodiversity Platform Link with international programmes • National node of • DIVERSITAS, • European Platform on Biodiversity Research Strategy (EPBRS), • Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), • (IUCN) • Secretariat of EPBRS • Projects and networks: • Biodiversity digitisation project call (2006: € 40+17K, 2007: € 50K) • BiodivERsA ERA-net (FP7) WP1 • Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment (FADA) • LifeWatch (ESFRI), EDIT (FP7), Fauna Europaea (FP5) • SCAR-MarBIN

  6. Past of SCAR – MarBIN 2005 - April, 2006: • C. Debroyer & B. Danis (RBINS) • Funding: Alfred P. Sloan foundation, SCAR May 1, 2006 – June 30, 2007: • SCAR-MarBIN Phase I, full integration within the BBiodiversity Platform • B. Danis (RBINS) & D. Charbonneau (IT, ULB) • Funding: BelSPO, Sloan, SCAR

  7. Present of SCAR – MarBIN May – June 2007: • Project evaluation • Recommendations taken into Phase II contract June 2007 – September 2007: • Transition phase (extension of Phase I contract) • B. Danis (RBINS) • Hiring of new IT staff • Funding: BelSPO

  8. Future of SCAR – MarBIN September 2007 – September 2009 • Phase II • B. Danis (RBINS), n. (ULB, IT staff) • Funding: BelSPO Post – September 2009? Post – IPY: exploding data generation and flux

  9. Future of SCAR – MarBIN Funding • Seed money: • Alfred P. Sloan foundation (CoML – OBIS): € 55,850.- • SCAR: US$ 3,000.- (2x: 2005, 2006) • Phase I: • BelSPO € 220,000.- (2005-2007) • Alfred P. Sloan foundation (CAML): US$ 10,000.- • SCAR: US$ 3,000.- (2007) • Phase II: BelSPO € 271,500,- (2007-2009)

  10. Future of SCAR – MarBIN A long-term commitment…. Options: • Expansion of network and services • Business as usual (new linkages, support to new db) • Freeze (data storage, preservation) • Terminate

  11. Future of SCAR – MarBIN Needed: ca. € 130,000.y-1 • Funding from SCAR/JCADM • Charge for services • Contributing databases • New projects => SCAR data policy • Users • National Data Centers • Private funding • Contribution from Antarctic Treaty signatories (e.g., GBIF model) Strategy: share the burden

  12. Future of SCAR – MarBIN Increase clout: • SCAR-Marbin • Ant. Node for GBIF (+ terrestrial data, via SCAR, JCADM) • GEO(SS)? • Focus on utility for policy and SD (via CCAMLR, UNCCC, IPCC, CBD,…) • Promote strong demo analyses • Increase outreach

  13. A sustainable SCAR – MarBIN • Contribute to the network, data mass • Feedback • Opportunities • Funding
