1 Rome (26 Nov 2009) D4Science World User Meeting Moi Khim TAN The WorldFish Center Strengthening Information Access and Dissemination in Support of Effective Coral Reef Conservation and Management

2 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Introduction A global online information system on coral reefs Provides information on location, status, threats and management of coral reefs in over 130 countries and territories Houses >26,000 References, including >6,000 downloadable publications Thematic data includes coral bleaching, monitoring sites, Marine Protected Areas, etc.

3 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Lesson Learned in Database Development & Information Management Lack of skills in resources management Poor database design No standard format No Metadata Lack of online access to information No interest to share the data Common problems No digitization of publications No backup / contingency plan

4 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs What does ReefBase do? To improve sharing and use of data, information, and knowledge in support of research and management of coral reef resources  Provides easy access to relevant information on key issues related to coral reefs  Provides database & web support to projects / organizations in developing countries

5 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs ReefBase website: Global database Serves as the central database for the Serves as the central database for the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) and International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN)

9 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) Proceedings

10 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs reefgis.reefbase.org ReefBase Online GIS (reefgis.reefbase.org) Created using Demis Mapserver. Fast performance, workable even with slow dial-up modems.

11 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Interactive maps via Internet (Web browser) Display data “live” from database (monitoring sites, coral bleaching, photos, etc.) Can search & query data using map tools ReefBase Online GIS

12 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project High-resolution coral reef polygons based on global mapping project (Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project), funded by NASA.

13 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs ReefBase: NOAA DHW Monthly updated maps from NOAA showing sea surface temperature anomalies, together with coral bleaching observations (linked to sea water temperature). Works as an early warning system.

14 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs What does ReefBase do? To improve sharing and use of data, information, and knowledge in support of research and management of coral reef resources.  Provides easy access to relevant information on key issues related to coral reefs  Provides database & web support to projects / organizations in developing countries

15 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Locally Managed Marine Area Network ReefBase is providing technical assistance, by developing an easy-to-use database system, to ensure that LMMA data is properly and safely strored, and that the LMMA partners can produce standardized site reports by a click of the button.

16 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Locally Managed Marine Area Network

17 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Database (SocMon)

18 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs SocMon

19 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs SocMon

20 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs SocMon

21 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Online Data Collection System

22 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Online Progress Tracking Report Help to manage and keep track the progress of data collection

23 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Offline Tool

24 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Spatial Data repository / Metadata http://ctatlas.reefbase.org

25 REEFBASE: Global Information System on Coral Reefs Future directions / Activities  Portfolio of information on coral reef and relevant ecosystem - online database (status, threat, management of coral reef) - Reef Fisheries information - biological monitoring data - socioeconomic monitoring data  Enhance our ReefGIS features and dataset  Establishment of partnerships with other organizations to promote effective management coral reef and reef fisheries related information
