Developing the Next Generation Marine Mammal Information Center for Integrated Ocean Observing: OBIS-SEAMAP 2.0

能否减轻与海洋哺乳动物和其他受保护海洋物种的不利相互作用，取决于能否直接获得高质量的数据集、生态模型和专家知识。海洋生物地理信息系统-巨型脊椎动物种群空间生态分析方案是专门为向研究、教育和管理界提供这类信息而设计的。在过去的四年中，OBIS-SEAMAP成功地开发了一个多功能信息系统，为NOPP计划下的科学家，管理人员和教育工作者提供关键数据。PI要求为OBIS-SEAMAP提供更新资金，以继续提供信息系统服务，并扩大我们计划的范围和深度，以更好地满足海洋科学和管理社区面临的日益复杂的需求。他们计划在新出现的综合海洋观测系统的范围内，集中新的努力，开发技术上更先进和完全可互操作的海洋动物信息管理系统。OBIS-SEAMAP系统将继续成为为CoML和国际海洋观测系统开发新技术和数据传输系统的主要原型。更广泛的影响该项目提供了分析工具和信息传播系统，以支持基础研究和应用保护物种管理举措。根据该方案开发的所有数据、工具和服务将通过数据门户在开放环境中迅速传播。PI将开发新的网络服务方法，以便以无缝的方式将信息从信息系统动态链接到其他应用程序。他们正在积极设计该项目的产品和成果，以满足重要的社会和研究需求。

The ability to mitigate adverse interactions with marine mammals and other protected marine species is dependent on direct access to high-quality data sets, ecological models and expert knowledge. The Ocean Biogeographic Information System - Spatial Ecological Analysis of Megavertebrate Populations (OBIS-SEAMAP) program was designed specifically to make such information available to the research, education and management communities. Over the past four years OBIS-SEAMAP has successfully developed a multi-function information system to provide critical data to scientists, managers and educators under the NOPP program. The PIs request renewal funding for OBIS-SEAMAP to continue to provide information system services and to expand both the scope and depth of our program to better meet the increasingly complex demands facing the ocean science and management communities. They plan to focus new efforts on developing a more technically advanced and fully interoperable marine animal information management system within the context of the emerging integrated ocean observing system. The OBIS-SEAMAP system will continue to be a leading prototype for the development of new technologies and data delivery systems for CoML and the International Ocean Observing System (IOOS). Broader ImpactsThe project provides both the analytical tools and an information dissemination system to support fundamental research and applied protected species management initiatives. All data, tools and services developed under this program will be rapidly disseminated in an open environment through a data portal. The PIs will develop novel web services approaches to allow for dynamic linkage of information from the information system into other applications in a seamless manner. They are actively designing the products and outcomes of this project to fulfill important societal and research needs.
