What is the webinar about?
The webinar titled "Surveying Biodiversity Data Needs among Stakeholders" comes after MARCO BOLO conducted a survey to gain deeper insights into the challenges and requirements of various stakeholders (scientists, policy makers, etc.) engaged in observing ocean biodiversity.
Nicolas Pade, Executive Director of EMBRC, along with Arne Langlet, a postdoctoral researcher in the MARCO BOLO project, and Felix Wurm, a Bachelor student of political science, will delve into the shared challenges encountered by stakeholders as highlighted in the survey, such as data inconsistencies, accessibility issues, and inadequate metadata quality. They will also explore the solutions proposed to address these challenges, including the use of maps and effective tools for data integration. Additionally, the discussion will encompass the significance of stakeholder engagement in incorporating scientific research insights into policymaking processes.
What’s MARCO BOLO?
MARCO BOLO (Marine Coastal Biodiversity Long-term Observations) is an EU-funded project aimed at enhancing European coastal and marine biodiversity observation capabilities. Led by EMBRC, the project is dedicated to addressing the specific needs of policymakers, planners, and industry stakeholders to foster science-based decision-making.
