Hello,

 

I thought you might find the new EMODnet vessel density data potentially useful for analyses of the alien and invasive species, at least in Europe.

 

Many thanks.

Regards,

 

Dmitry Schigel

The IODE programme was established in 1961 to enhance marine research, exploitation and development, by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating Member States, and by meeting the needs of users for data and information products.

EMODnet established the Associated Partnership Scheme to enable interested stakeholders to contribute and fully benefit from the network’s broad range of tools and activities. The application procedure is straightforward, free of charge and provides many advantages for both associated partners and the network itself.   Become an EMODnet Associated Partner     Use case: EMODnet Biology contributing to marine global assessments The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) is now the world’s most comprehensive database on the diversity, distribution, and abundance of life in the ocean. The European contribution is significant with EMODnet playing a pivotal role: around 20 million (out of 50M) of these records are provided by EMODnet Biology, with source data collected by many data providers across Europe.   Read the full use case     Prepared and published by the EMODnet Secretariat       The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is financed by the European Union under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
