MBON Portal Update Gabrielle Canonico April 30, 2019
Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) MBON is: A long-term, multi-sector (federal, academic, NGO, etc.) network to observe marine life and ecosystem interactions – how those are changing and how that affects us. Status: FY14-18 initial demos; new projects begin FY19 Courtesy: MBARI
MBON Core Activities Integrate existing monitoring, fill gaps Advance new approaches (Seascapes, eDNA, imagery) Meet user needs Build local to global partnerships Share methods, best practices and data
MBON Portal Vision MBON Portal: is a “one stop” for biological data, where federal, state, academic institutions and other users access biological information and integrate or extract it along with environmental data is a hub for biological data and biodiversity information serving the ocean observing and coastal management communities provides access to tools, products and data, and allows users to conduct cross-dataset analytics across regions and projects enables information assembly to visualize integrated ocean data in ways that have meaning for users
Value to RAs Biology DAC - like other DACs + bonus challenges (breadth of scope - no single platform, technology or data type) Catalyst to focus effort and progress on DMAC and capacity building for biology (e.g.Darwin Core, WoRMS (taxonomy) and metadata standards; new data types - imagery, eDNA, sound) In service of users and stakeholders, RAs can: • ‘Pull’ biological data into regional portals • ‘Push’ or contribute data directly to MBON Portal • Provide support to data providers for data cleanup, Darwin Core standards/metadata support, getting data into ERDDAP, etc.
Bringing Biology to DMAC MBON Portal V 2.0 launched Summer 2018 https://mbon.ioos.us/ Continued improvements planned (Axiom team, Steve Lockhart) Building a Community of Practice IOOS Biological Data Training, Feb 2018 IOOS-OBIS-ESIP Biological Data Standards Workshop, coming in 2020 Advocating Darwin Core Implementing EOVs Utilizing ERDDAP
Matt Howard Memorial Funds $15,000, to each RA, to: Advance IOOS Biology through biological data stewardship activities in the region, in coordination with the Program Office Contribute to an IOOS synthesis report articulating regional needs for and prioritization of biological observations and data Enable IOOS RA/DMAC teams to work with regional data providers to align biological datasets to the Darwin Core standard and make them available through ERDDAP servers and the MBON Portal.
MBON Suite of Tools MBON Data portal Infographics MBON Curated Data Views Audience: Scientists, technical experts Audience: public, managers, educators Audience: Advisory groups, researchers, teams
Curated Data View A web page that displays predetermined data, maps, images that are intended for display together Allows users some customization of graph appearance Feels more technical than interactive infographics Could be focused on specific management theme or topic Curated and developed with domain experts MBON Curated Data Views Audience: Advisory groups, researchers, teams
MBON, IEA, IOOS Interactive Infographics We are in the process of ‘webinizing’ the static conceptual models into live interactive infographics. Proof of concept starting with: • MBNMS pelagic habitat • FKNMS coral reef habitat • CINMS and MBNMS rocky reef habitat Sanctuaries MBON NEW biodiversity indices (Santora et al. 2017)
Early Warning System Prototype Early warning and alert system for Flower Garden Banks • Detection of anomalies in CHL, SST, Turbidity • FGBNMS, FKNMS, others • Dashboard and email alerts in real time • Similar prototype developed for Florida Keys User dashboard for FGBNMS is live. https://usf-imars.github.io/img-dash/index.html?date=2018-04-10T19:15:51.513Z
Future Plans Expand web-enabled tools for Sanctuaries, Integrated Ecosystem Assessment Program • For early warning; dynamically updated Sanctuary condition reports and Ecosystem Status Reports • Continuing in Channel Islands, Monterey Bay, Florida Keys; evolving in Olympic Coast, Flower Garden Banks • Products currently link from MBON portal to github • Moving to an open development environment better integrated with data in the Portal Refining work flow • Data providers, RAs publish to ERDDAP • Axiom ingest to MBON Portal • Catalogue at data.ioos.us • Automated NCEI archive pathway for MBON datasets New Tools and Datasets
