[uRAGwoU2-02]Turning biodiversity data into dynamic digital ecosystems
*Klaas Deneudt1 (1. VLIZ (Belgium))
Marine habitats present specific and one-of-a-kind issues when it comes to observing, mapping, and monitoring biodiversity in marine ecosystems. In spite of the fact that significant advancement has been made in Europe to collect, harmonise, and make available data on marine biodiversity, a large portion of the data that is currently being collected is unavailable and inaccessible.
The core mission of the DTO-BioFlow Project is to unlock those “sleeping” biodiversity data, enabling the sustained flow of these and new data via primary integrators and EMODnet into the EU Digital Twin Ocean. It is working to create a digital replica of marine biological processes, transforming new and existing data flows into evidence-based knowledge.
The project aligns with the EU's Biodiversity Strategy and Nature Restoration Law and with the mission "Restore our oceans and waters by 2030", both of which advocate for the protection and restoration of land and sea regions.
Over the four years, the DTO-Bioflow consortium has been working on consolidating standards, quality control, communication protocols, harmonisation pipelines, data products, data models, ingestion procedures and incentives for sustainable connection to improve the interoperability and digitisation of biodiversity data. The project will also test out various technologies that are both affordable and adaptable to carry out species monitoring on a massive scale. The end-to-end approach will be demonstrated via a number of science-based use cases and via mechanisms to monitor, measure progress and drive community action towards increasing biodiversity data flows.
