In a study of 1,267 marine citizen-science initiatives, a team of researchers including some of the EU-funded Iliad project, concluded that insufficient openness of marine citizen science data and insufficient adherence to the FAIR principles (that data should be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) is limiting the application and overall usefulness of marine citizen science data. “Marine citizen science initiatives around the globe are on the increase, many are sustained over long periods of time, and they are of increasing relevance for marine science; yet the uptake of marine citizen science data is hampered by their ‘closedness’ and poor data management practices—they are far from being fully open and following the FAIR principles—as well as by difficulties with their appropriate categorisation, affecting all future uses (both intended and unplanned),” the researchers said. The study, titled “Past and present marine citizen science around the globe: A cumulative inventory of initiatives and data produced” and published on 3 February 2025 in the Ambio journal of environment and society, was carried out and authored by Uta Wehn of the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, together with Ane Bilbao Erezkano, Luke Somerwill, Torsten Linders, Joan Maso Pau, Stephen Parkinson of Earthwatch Europe, Christina Semasingha and Sasha Woods. 🌊 ⚓ 👉 https://lnkd.in/d9aiEbGp #Iliad #DigitalTwins #Ocean #CitizenScience #Marine #Biodiversity #Data #Management #DTOs #FAIR #Principles

Bland C2B2:s intressenter finns Nils Mårtensson vd på Swedish Kelp. En civilingenjör och licentiat i hydrodynamik som brinner för strukturerad oceanografisk data och som inledde sin bana på Arendalsvarvet. – Då byggde vi oljeriggar, och även isbrytaren Oden, säger han. I dag är det tångodling han jobbar med. Ett sätt att skapa mat som inte kräver vare sig sötvatten eller gödning. – Men salthalten måste vara rätt hög, säger han.

Skicka ett mejl till c2b2@gu.se Among C2B2's stakeholders is Nils Mårtensson, CEO of Swedish Kelp. A civil engineer and licentiate in hydrodynamics who is passionate about structured oceanographic data and who began his career at the former shipyard Arendalsvarvet. – Back then we built oil rigs, and also the icebreaker Oden, he says. Today he works with seaweed farming. A way of creating food that does not require either fresh water or fertilizer. – But the salinity must be quite high, he says.

Havsbaserad vindkraft har fått en hel del medial uppmärksamhet på senare tid, inte minst efter att försvarsskäl kom i vägen för etableringar i egentliga Östersjön. Den 17 mars (kl 10.00–12.00) är C2B2 med och arrangerar ett webbinarium kring en annan aspekt: kan vindkraftsparkerna leda till ökade koldioxidutsläpp när lastfartyg blir tvungna att navigera runt dem? I arrangemanget medverkar två forskare på Uppsala universitet – Rohan Kumar, PhD Uppsala, och Anna Rutgersson, professor i meteorologi. De ska presentera sitt projekt “Assessing the Carbon Trade-off of Shipping Routes due to Offshore Wind Farm Development”. Även Torsten Linders, programchef på C2B2, deltar, liksom Karim Fahssis, Head of Decarbonisation, China A.P.Moller-Maersk. Dessutom medverkar Ian Bergström, projektledare hos OX2 som är en aktör som utvecklar vind och solkraftsparker. Förutom föreläsningar blir det även diskussion kring hur olika aktörer kan samarbeta för att minska koldioxidutsläppen. Intresserad? Registrera dig för att delta här – https://lnkd.in/dP4x7vuX – sedan får du en länk till att delta via Teams, kommer den 14 mars. Mer information om webbinariet: https://lnkd.in/dYuyHqWw - - - Offshore wind power has received a lot of media attention recently, not least after defense reasons got in the way of establishment in the Baltic Sea proper. On March 17 (10:00–12:00), C2B2 is organizing a webinar on another aspect: can wind farms lead to increased carbon dioxide emissions when cargo ships are forced to navigate around them? Two researchers at Uppsala University are participating in the event – Rohan Kumar, PhD Uppsala, and Anna Rutgersson, professor of meteorology. They will present their project “Assessing the Carbon Trade-off of Shipping Routes due to Offshore Wind Farm Development”. Torsten Linders, program manager at C2B2, as will Karim Fahssis, Head of Decarbonisation, China A.P.Moller-Maersk. Ian Bergström who is project manager at OX2 – an actor that develops wind and solar power farms – will also participate. In addition to lectures, there will also be a discussion on how different actors can collaborate to reduce carbon emissions. Interested?

”We are all development countries when it comes to energy transition” Glad att få delta i panelen ”Navigating Security Challenges” på Mistra Conference on Geopolitics of Sustainability idag. Jag lyfte bland annat vikten av att titta både på processer och teknik när det kommer till möjligheter till samexistens. Tar särskilt med mig insikten om behovet av samarbete och datadelning, och att planeringen ibland är viktigare än själva planen. Tack till bra diskussion Mattias Rust, Hans Liwång, Karina Barquet och Magnus Wallhagen och till Robert Watt för utmärkt modererande

🌊 Marine Citizen Science: A Rising Wave of Change! 🌊 The ocean is facing unprecedented challenges, demanding robust scientific understanding to support sustainable management. But how is knowledge production evolving to meet these needs? 🌎🔬 Our latest paper dives into #marine #citizenscience, analyzing data from 1,260+ initiatives worldwide 🌍. While often seen as lagging behind terrestrial citizen science, our findings challenge this notion and highlight its growing influence. 📌 This study lays the groundwork for the MArine Citizen Science Initiatives (MARCSI) #inventory of marine #citsci initiatives, a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers alike. A big thank you to my co-authors and the supporting projects that made this work possible! 🙌🏼 Ane Bilbao Erezkano Luke Somerwill Torsten Linders Joan Maso Pau Stephen Parkinson Christina semasingha Sasha Woods CitiObs more4natureMistra Co-Creating Better Blue (C2B2) Iliad - Digital Twins of the Ocean Adlerbertska Stiftelserna Let’s keep expanding the frontiers of ocean knowledge together. 💙🐠 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eq49MJqd #MarineCitizenScience #OceanConservation #CitizenScience #SustainableSeas #MARCSI #OpenScience #FAIR
