Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
The South African Marine Information Management System (MIMS) is an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) repository that plays a multifaceted role in archiving, publishing, and preserving marine-related datasets. As an IODE-accredited Associate Data Unit (ADU), MIMS serves as a national node for the IODE of the IOC of UNESCO. It archives and publishes collections and subsets of marine-related datasets for the National Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment (DFFE) and its regional partners. As an IOC member organization, DFFE is committed to supporting the long-term preservation and archival of marine and coastal data for South Africa and its regional partners, promoting open access to data, and encouraging scientific collaboration. Tasked with the long-term preservation of South Africa's marine and coastal data, MIMS functions as an institutional data repository. It provides primary access to all data collected by the DFFE Oceans and Coastal Research Directorate and acts as a trusted broker of scientific marine data for a wide range of South African institutions. MIMS hosts the IODE AFROBIS Node, an OBIS Node that coordinates and collates data management activities within the sub-Saharan African region. As part of the OBIS Steering Group, MIMS represents sub-Saharan Africa on issues around biological (biodiversity) data standards. It also facilitates data and metadata publishing for the region through the GBIF and OBIS networks. Operating on the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data principles, MIMS aligns its practices to maximize ocean data exchange and use while respecting the conditions stipulated by the Data Provider. By integrating various functions and commitments, MIMS stands as a vital component in the marine and coastal data landscape, fostering collaboration, standardization, and accessibility in alignment with international standards and regional needs.

Temperate Reef Base Portal

Subject(s)
Content type(s)
Country
TemperateReefBase is a resource for temperate reef researchers worldwide to use and contribute data. Unique in its role as a one-stop-shop for global temperate reef data, TemperateReefBase was initially established by IMAS in collaboration with the Kelp Ecology Ecosystem Network (KEEN). KEEN was instigated through a National Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group which assembled experts from around the world to examine the impacts of global change on kelp-bed ecosystem worldwide. The group has assembled significant global data for kelps, other seaweeds and associated species including fishes, and has embarked on unprecedented global experiments and surveys in which identical experiments and surveys are being conducted at sites in kelp beds around the world to determine global trends and examine the capacity of kelps to respond to disturbance in the face of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is an online discovery interface showcasing temperate reef data collected from around the globe. The portal aims to make this data freely and openly available for the benefit of marine and environmental science as a whole. The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is hosted and maintained by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia.
