Coordination Board Meeting EMODnet BIOLOGICAL LOT Small Data Grants Program for the Black Sea V.Vladymyrov Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas Laboratory of the Marine Information Systems

Data of first stations done in the Black Sea

A data rescue action was started in July for the Black Sea, in cooperation between IBSS and VLIZ. Possible data providers are being contacted with the request to deliver metadata and an estimated cost of work to make their biological data available to EMODNET. By awarding mini-grants, the digitisation and quality control of these data can be accomplished and they can contribute to EMODNET.
