WP3 Biomapping summary WP3: NRM, CDF, CEFAS, DINARA, WCS Additional input: WP1, AquaMaps workgroup
WP3 aims • Provide access to point data* • Combine this with environmental parameters to create standard maps for all species* • Establish expert verification system* • Provide species inventories based on above* • Using climate change and other factors predict potential changes, with attention to algal blooms, invasive species* and predator prey interactions * - publicly available through AquaMaps
AquaMaps status • 7,200 species now
AquaMaps status • New tools
AquaMaps status • Beginning to be cited • Environmental data now online and available to other researchers
AquaMaps new features • Expert review changes • Rating • Notes • Sort by
AquaMaps new features • Global clickable map with Native/Invasives
AquaMaps new features • Transects
For further consideration • Climate change tools – e.g. future proofing of MPAs • Expansion to Fresh Water fishes ongoing (some examples available already)
