What’s in it for you?? Unifying the fragmented data of Africa

What is my contribution?

Four major databases

SADCO (Southern African Datacentre for Oceanography)

SADCO Temperature, Salinity, Oxygen depth profiles VOS data (historical data) Currents Waves Weather stations

SADCO National oceanographic database of Southern Africa The only one

WASA (Wind Atlas of South Africa)

WASA Network of ten 60m masts – multiple sensors - 5 levels Map of masts

WASA Modelling wind pattern

EDM (Environmental Data Management)

EDM Waves Weather Currents

AfrOBIS (sub-Saharan African node of OBIS)

AfrOBIS Marine species database Around Africa

Highlights

Submitted most data of all nodes

African data Kenya Madagascar Nigeria Tunisia

Warm and cold current on same continent – very high biodiversity

Challenges

Funding – inflation a big problem

Data from Africa

Networking in Africa

Language barrier

Getting data – flagged

Red tape - government

Procrastination

Busy with other projects

Collaboration

Aphia database AfReMaS WoRMS

Collaboration Aphia database AfReMaS WoRMS Species Lists Taxonomic editors

Collaboration Taxon match – extra flag

Complete datasets Data set AfrOBIS AfReMaS Collaboration

Complete datasets AfrOBIS AfReMaS Collaboration

Collaboration – steps forward

Where to get me Availability of data Some successes Some challenges Suggestions – steps forward
