EMODNET pilot biological lotFrancisco Hernandez, Simon Claus, Leen Vandepitte
Overview • Work done • Project Management • Technical Development • Summary of data-inventory, data collected and gap analysis • Specific questions • Choice of parameters (eg chemical; biological species) • Assessment of accuracy or precision • Difficulties encountered • Needs from other projects • Timescale for going on-line with portal
Work done • Project Management • Project between EU & VLIZ signed 15 May 2009 • Consortium agreement (signed by 8 out of 9 partners!) • Kick Off Meeting Ostend: 8-9 June 2009 • Discussions and agreement on work plan Biological Lot EMODNet • Bi-monthly progress reports https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/iwt/index.php?q=node/418 • Organisation Biological Data Products Workshop
Work done • Project Management • Organisation Biological Data Products Workshop (25-26 February 2010) • Invited 50 experts from different user groups to discuss: • define a set of derived data products relevant for private bodies, public authorities and researchers • marine biological (monitoring) data availability and gaps in Europe • select biological parameters and biological species (~choice of parameters) • Result in key-recommandations that will be implemented for Biological EMODNet • Based on recommandations data analysis workshops wil be organised
Work done • Technical Development • Outline of the technical functionalities of the EMODNET Bio Portal • Database system/databasescheme • Background/Foreground data • Functionalities interface (select, map, download, time series graph) • Start technical development of EMODNET Portal • Based on EurOBISBiogegeograhic System • Distributed system, uses DIGIR Protocol & OBIS Scheme • First part; system OGC Compliant! • Prototype willbepresentedat Data Products Workshop • Possibility to receive feedback during workshop • Version 1 online June 2010 (on Schedule)
Work done • Summary of data-inventory, data collected and gap analysis • Data inventory for EMODNet • Data inventory and gap analyse will be presented and discussed at workshop • Based EurOBIS, FP6 MarBEF, FP 5 BIOMARE Project (n=472 of which 155 monitoring datasets) • Sent to the Coordination Board for review and update (received 4/8) • ICES (Biol. community ;Contaminants and biol. Effects, Fish trawl survey datasets, 10 866 953) • GBIF Datasets (181 datasets ,11 114 9101, global, largely covered by OBIS and EurOBIS) • Black Sea Datasets (18 datasets) • PANGAEA, MARS Network, SeadataNet: in progress
Work done • Summary of data-inventory, data collected and gap analysis • Data inventory for EMODNet • In contact with Regional Sea Commissions: • HELCOM (HELCOM COMBINE, HELCOM FISH, Baltic Sea Protected Areas, Alien species, Integrated thematic assessment on biodiversity) • Black Sea Commission (Contact persons: Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine) • OSPAR: in progress • EEA & MedPol: so far no feedback
Work done • Summary of data-inventory, data collected and gap analysis • Data collected and data integration • 23 datasets • 19 mammals, birds & reptiles: SeaMaps • 3 Benthic datasets (DanBIF) • Historical dataset Black Sea: IBSS • Data standardisation & quality control • Taxonomy (linked with WorMS) • Geography (linked with VLIMAR)
Work done • Summary of data-inventory, data collected and gap analysis • Data collected and data integration (EurOBIS: n=211, 6,973,214) Start EMODNet Bio
Work done • Summary of data collected, data-inventory and gap analysis • Gap analysis EurOBIS (will be published) • Phase I: Gap analysis based on EurOBIS data Analysis grid representing the number of distinct larger taxonomic groups (Mammals, Aves, Crustacea, Rotifera, Tunicata...) per grid-cell
Work done • Summary of data collected, data-inventory and gap analysis • Gap analysis • Phase I: Gap analysis based on EurOBIS data Total number of distribution records collected per year
Work done • Summary of data collected, data-inventory and gap analysis • Gap analysis • Phase I: Gap analysis based on EurOBIS data Geographic Cover #species # distribution records # stations # species, distribution records and stations in EurOBIS for the Focus of the EMODNet Biological Portal
Specific questions • Choice of parameters (biological species & parameters) • To be decided after completion data inventory and gap analysis • Discussed during data products workshop • Assessment of accuracy or precision • Ongoing • Difficulties encountered • Nothing unexpected: Incomplete inventories, unwillingness to participate, inertia • Needs from other projects • Standardization of regions: • Done, ICES ecoregions + EEZ shapefiles provided to project https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/iwt/index.php?q=node/315 • Additional environmental data : to be discussed later • Chlorophyll (Chemical lot?),Habitat info (Geological Lot?),Bathymetry (Hydrographical Lot?),Salinity, temperature (??) • Timescale for going on-line with portal • On schedule
