Enabling data to be collected and presented in a rigorous and validated way that can accepted by internationally recognised databases and hence used by scientists and decision makers. https://www.oceaninterface.com/ocean-habitats daily 0.75 2021-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1607593766431-ZI3JR84ZA1ESX2PCQO7L/Scotland-coast Ocean Habitats Scotland’s position at the edge of the continental shelf, it’s long coastline and the mixing of warm and coldwater currents combine to make its waters a special place for marine wildlife and ecosystems. With over 18,000 km of coastline, representing 13% of all European seas, the seas of Scotland are exceptionally important. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1607593817796-GU700A4B2PHCJZT0JN05/PMF-eelgrass_Scotland Ocean Habitats Priority marine features (PMFs) are features characteristic of the Scottish marine environment considered to be of special conservation importance. They may be species or habitats that occur in significant numbers in Scotland’s seas, that under threat or in decline or that play an important functional role in the eco-system. Knowledge of the location, extent and health of PMFs is vital as it informs marine conservation and planning and directs future research and education. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1607593852989-33YNXM5NII2ICJ6ZUMOJ/Native-oyster-ecosytem-engineer Ocean Habitats Underwater habitats are of immense value in supporting biodiversity, but also in providing eco-system services such as carbon sequestering. Mitigation of climate change makes the health of the marine environment crucial to the well being and future of our whole planet. The health of our oceans is everyone’s concern because it is everyone’s future. https://www.oceaninterface.com/marine-surveying daily 0.75 2021-04-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1617547588077-S7W98GE5TIYX878D9AOC/P8081225.JPG Marine Surveying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1617543754654-4J814VCZQBRNDFCD94ZD/Biodiversity_dive_survey.JPG Marine Surveying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1617543889078-UCJFNXFQ6XWD858MX6K7/Native_oyster_surveying.jpg Marine Surveying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1617544432590-E5A8770IZVYBMSJWFTY3/Beach_litter_survey.JPG Marine Surveying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1617544349818-1MZ50GD35IB5JAFPHUWU/PMF_mapping_2.JPG Marine Surveying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1617544503471-MTLXZ2DECS1D4REJTUIH/Marine_citizen_science.jpg Marine Surveying https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fafc1ab41a1673e3aab5690/1607593973364-9UEBJXA638TQC2VVY6EJ/Data-collection-dive Marine Surveying Speak with any coastal community and they will be able to tell you how their area of coast has changed over time. How areas that were once teeming with fish are now silent or how once lush eelgrass beds that supported vibrant underwater communities a generation ago have been lost. Data is the key to turning these observations into tangible evidence that can influence policy makers to instigate positive change for the oceans. https://www.oceaninterface.com/news daily 0.75 2020-12-10 https://www.oceaninterface.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-09
