  1. MedOBISBiogeographic Information System for the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Seafunded by:Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education (CORE) Valavanis VD, Arvanitidis C, Eleftheriou A, Costello M, Faulwetter S, Kitsos MS, Kirmtzoglou I, Petrov A, Galil B, Papageorgiou N Hellenic Center for Marine Research, Greece Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, Ukraine National Institute of Oceanography, Israel University of Auckland, New Zealand

  2. MedOBIS OBJECTIVESCreation of a new online data/product; dissemination of taxon-based search marine biological information system(currently under development, URL will soon be dedicated) • Secure of historical biological data • Assembly of current biological data • Development of online database • Analysis of data through GIS • Data and product online dissemination

  3. MedOBIS: 4 MAIN PHASESOF DEVELOPMENT • DATA ASSEMBLY • DATA FORMATTING • DATA ANALYSIS • DATA DISSEMINATION

  4. MedOBIS: DATA ASSEMBLY Currently: • Ionian Sea: 100 stations • Aegean Sea: 570 stations • Black Sea: 106 stations

  5. 776 stations • 4500 benthic taxa • Period covered: 1937-2004

  6. MedOBIS: DATA FORMATTING Data conversions: • STATION LOCATION/ID in GIS SHAPEFILE • STATION ATTRIBUTES in MS ACCESS • AVHRR SST in GEOREF. GIS GRIDS • SeaWiFS Chl-a in GEOREF. GIS GRIDS

  7. MedOBIS: DATA ANALYSIS On-going GIS and Spatial Analyses: • BIOGEOGRAPHY OF BENTHIC TAXA • MARINE PRODUCTIVITY HOTSPOTS • MESOSCALE OCEANIC THERMAL FRONTS • SPECIES DISTRIBUTION MAPS

  8. MedOBIS: DATA DISSEMINATION • ALOV Map • Free online GIS shapefile viewer • Online MS Access connectivity • Client-server architecture • MedOBIS-ALOV Map Development • Taxon-based search • Predefined zoomin selection

  9. Taxon-based search (shown for Abra spp in red)

  10. Predefined zoomin selection (user-defined zoomin area where stations are pre-selected for viewing and downloading further information)

  11. MedOBIS: Current status/Future works • On-going data assembly • Integration of analytical products into the MedOBIS online data viewer • Identification of species-environment interactions • Migration to client-server architecture (as more data becomes available)

  12. MedOBIS: the way forward EurOBIS ERMS v2 PROPE-taxon (MARBEF) Data User MedOBIS Excellence of HCMR In Marine Biodiversity Data Provider
