EMODnet, a network of organisations supported by the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy, has the core principle for data of ‘collect once and use many times’. This is right up our street. As well as using EMODnet data services, BoatingOS will reciprocate by providing a marine data delivery platform to EMODnet to augment current marine knowledge for everyone’s use.
We will thus become a cog in the ‘knowledge’ wheel to enable better data-driven decision making for policy and research for our oceans, in what is the UN Decade of the Ocean.
