Accredited MEDIN Data Archive Centre (DAC) The UK archive for marine species and habitats data Launched 2005 Centre of excellence for the management of marine biological data Provides data to the NBN, EMODnet, GBIF, OBIS and MESH Provides metadata to MEDIN portal DASSH
Currently ~2 million records Includes: Species point or polygon Species attribute data, e.g. length, weight, mark recapture etc. Habitat point and polygon Image data (still and video) MEDIN: Standards group MEDIN Metadata Help Desk Fish DAC DASSH
DASSH accepts data from providers in a variety of formats from paper records to complex databases No barriers to archiving – but the more complex the data structure the more costly the archiving process. If in MEDIN format and recommended file structure there is unlikely to be a cost to ingest data. Encouraging and recommending the use of MEDIN data guidelines for data exchange DASSH
Supports Marine Spatial Planning and Environmental Impact Assessments Provides the evidence base to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Assists in meeting the reporting requirements of UK Marine Monitoring and Assessment Strategy, which in turn addresses the reporting for more than 40 national and international obligations (inc OSPAR, WFD and other marine environmental directives).
