These data are often collected with limited spatial and temporal scope and are scattered over different organizations in small datasets for a specific species group or habitat. Therefore there is a continuous need to assemble these individual datasets, and process them into interoperable biological data products for assessing the environmental state of overall ecosystems and complete sea basins. One of the main objectives of EMODnet Biology is to allow public access and viewing of data, metadata and data products of marine species occurring in European marine waters through the EMODnet Biology Data Portal. marine biodiversity regional data mapping tool data management environmental monitoring biogeography WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/biology 2015-04-09 license EMODnet Biology Data Management Team
