three years and beyond

three years and beyond

iMarine Objective

Launch an Initiative aimed at establishing and

operating a data Infrastructure supporting the

implementation of the principles of the

Ecosystem Approach

to Fisheries Management and Conservation of to Fisheries Management and Conservation of

Marine Living Resources

iMarine components


EA Community of

Practicee-Infrastructure

CoP: main interest/ motivation

data sharing & re-use (interoperability, synchronization of solutions,

shared standards and policies, coordinated re-

use, etc.)

Not only row data, but also more elaborated

information.

statistical models, map generation, …….)

……. and beyond

• iMarine uniqueness is in its global, cross-domain and cross-

dimensional support to the EA

• The underlying and generic system gCube, the D4Science

infrastructure and iMarine have the potential to serve similar

science based policy frameworks, such as domains within the science based policy frameworks, such as domains within the

Blue Growth

• We are happy to offer what we have developed and to

support other needs through the acquired experience
