OTTERS - Social Transformation for Water Stewardship through Scaling Up Citizen Science

Ootters将致力于促进和扩大在海洋和淡水领域成功的公民科学(CS)倡议，方法是：1)加快共同创建数据收集、语义、数据质量和数据管理方面的标准，确保遵守所有伦理和法律标准；2)通过将成功的与水有关的CS倡议归类到共同设计的海洋之春运动之下，促进和扩大与水有关的CS倡议，以促进机构和提高海洋素养；3)将公民产生的数据与欧盟资助的其他项目和门户网站连接起来，包括欧洲海洋观测和数据网络(EMODnet)和数字海洋双胞胎(Iliad)，以确保数据的可获取性和重用性，并遵守所有公平原则；4)展示公民科学在参与性研究、环境监测和改变人们行为方面的有效性，以确保水生态系统的可持续性，并实现欧盟水框架指令和联合国海洋十年的目标。

OTTERS will aim at promoting and scaling up successful citizen science (CS) initiatives in the marine and freshwater domains via 1) accelerating the co-creation of standards in data collection, semantics, data quality, and data management making sure to abide by all ethical and legal standards; 2) promoting and scaling up successful water-related CS initiatives by clustering them under co-designed Spring-to-Sea campaigns to foster agency and increase ocean literacy; 3) connecting the citizen-generated data to other EU-funded projects and portals, including the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) and Digital Twins of the Ocean (ILIAD) to ensure the accessibility and reuse of the data and abide by all FAIR principles; 4) demonstrating the effectiveness of citizen science in participatory research, environmental monitoring and changing people’s behaviors to ensure the sustainability of water ecosystems and reach the goals of the EU Water Framework Directive and UN Decade of the Ocean.
