2nd Marine Biodiversity Workshop: From the Sea to the Cloud

Held in Mexico in 2019, this second workshop continued the development of a community of practice dedicated to understanding change in marine biodiversity and generating knowledge and products that inform conservation and management strategies of marine living resources by engaging researchers, managers and policy-makers with interest in biodiversity monitoring and data synthesis and analysis. https://marinebon.github.io/p2p-mexico-workshop/

GOOS and BioEcoOcean Special Session

in events

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), the BioEcoOcean EU-project, the Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) and the Atlantic International Research Centre (AIR Centre) are organising a special webinar series focusing on the Biology and Ecosystems Essential Ocean Variables (BioEco EOVs) – the minimum set of variables needed to assess the state of the ocean and its biodiversity. This series brings together experts to share knowledge and discuss innovative approaches for biodiversity monitoring and the importance of having coordinated and standardized data collection and management.

Ocean Best Practices Workshop

in events, Trainings and Workshops, Data management and best practices

MBON, Marine Life 2030, GOOS and the AIR Centre will host two special sessions at the VIII Ocean Best Practices (OBPS) workshop ranging in different time zones. These sessions we will bring together the communities contributing to Biology and Ecosystem (BioEco) ocean observation and forecasting to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas and best practices, build capacity and promote synergies with ocean observation initiatives and projects, as well as with the overall biodiversity monitoring community, supporting common solutions for collective impact.

Terceira Island Workshop 2025

in events, Trainings and Workshops

**Workshop: Enhancing marine biodiversity data collection and publishing** **Date:** 10 – 14 November 2025 **Location:** Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal. **Instructors:** Carolina Peralta, Tylar Murray, Nuno Álvaro, Jacqueline Dearborn The Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) and the AIR Centre will host a small, hands-on, interactive workshop focused on mobilising marine biological observation datasets to the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS). The objective is to help data holders understand the value of following good practices for standardising biological data, using widely accepted biodiversity standards like Darwin Core.

Uruguay Rocky Shore Monitoring Workshop

in events, Trainings and Workshops

An MBON Pole to Pole Workshop for Rocky Shore Monitoring in Uruguay was held during the 1st-4th October, 20204, organized by the Forum for the Conservation of the Patagonian Sea and Areas of Influence, during a course coordinated by Karumbé and Vida Silvestre Uruguay at Santa Teresa National Park. Repeated monitoring with MBON Pole to Pole protocols will be coordinated in Uruguay by Dr. Gabriela Vélez-Rubio (FCIEN-CURE, Udelar). The monitoring focuses on capturing photo-quadrats in the rocky intertidal zone and analyzing them using deep learning tools.
