To this end MBO will establish and engage with a Community of Practice (CoP) to determine end-user needs with the aim of optimising marine data flows, knowledge uptake, and improving governance based on biodiversity observations. By exploiting synergies with concurrent projects MBO will develop and demonstrate new autonomous technology for biodiversity mapping and monitoring, and data streams from remote sensing, eDNA, robotics, optical and acoustic observations. Protocols for eDNA-based biodiversity observations are established and validated across applications, taxa and ecosystems. The sequence of the analytical and technical processes for the different use cases will be incorporated into operational Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and included into online reusable workflows, contributing to the free and open access of EU and global biodiversity information facilities, and to support major EU biodiversity directives and global initiatives. The project partnership will leverage its international activities (MBON, GOOS, OBIS) and participation in UN Ocean Decade Programmes (Marine Life 2030, OBON, ODIS, Ocean Practices for the Decade) to align the MBO work programme to global CoP, ensuring European participation and leadership in global biodiversity monitoring and global science. MBO results will be designed to build upon existing capability and infrastructures, and to be relevant to existing frameworks so that outputs can be easily integrated into national, regional (EU and adjacent sea basins), and global observation systems, with no delay ensuring the reusability of the investments Europe is already making in data generation. Template-Seagrass_site_result.csv CSV latitude Latitude The decimal latitude (World Geodetic System 84 - WGS84 format). longitude Longitude The decimal longitude (World Geodetic System 84 - WGS84 format). seagrass_species Seagrass species name The list of European seagrasses. - Cymodocea nodosa - Halophila stipulacea - Posidonia oceanica - Zostera marina - Zostera noltei - Zostera marina and Cymodocea nodosa - Zostera marina and Zostera noltei. bottomT_p95_C_closest Bottom water temperature The sea water potential temperature at sea floor bottom. uo_mean_1.5m_m_s_closest Eastward seawater velocity The horizontal speed of water moving toward the east, with negative values indicating westward motion. vo_p90_1.5m_m_s_closest Northward seawater velocity The meridional component of the horizontal ocean current vector, representing the speed at which seawater is flowing directly to the north. po4_mean_1.5m_mmol_m3_closest Phosphate The chemical compound containing phosphorus and oxygen, measured to study water quality and marine life. pH_mean_1.5m_closest pH The numeric value of the pH. wave_height_VHM0_p95_m_closest Sea surface wave significant height The height of ocean waves in a given sea state. It is defined as the average height (trough to crest) of the highest one-third (33%) of all waves over a specific time period. Surf_fgco2_p95_molC_m2_yr_closest Surface downward flux of total CO2 It measures the net amount of carbon dioxide passing from the atmosphere down into the Earth’s surface (land or oceans). It quantifies the rate at which carbon is absorbed or sequestered by ecosystems and oceans, often expressed in grams of carbon per square meter or petagrams globally per year. KD_closest Diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm to the study location It measures how rapidly blue-green light is absorbed and scattered as it travels downward through a water column. In simpler terms, it is a key metric for determining ocean water clarity and turbidity. RRS443_closest Remote sensing reflectance at 443 nm to the study location It provides the remote sensing reflectance at wavelength λ - the ratio of water-leaving radiance to downwelling irradiance just above the surface, it supports algorithm development, validation, water-quality, and ecosystem applications. carbon_stock_Mg_ha_upper30cm Carbon stock in the upper 30cm of the sediment The carbon stock in the topmost 30cm depth layer of the sediment, Mg/ha. carbon_stock_Mg_ha_upper100cm Carbon stock in the upper 100cm of the sediment The carbon stock in the topmost 100cm depth layer of the sediment, Mg/ha.
