Coordination and data management team

The coordination, data and IT management of Marine Regions is carried out by Flanders Marine Institute. You can contact us at info@marineregions.org. People involved are:

Collaboration Agreement

Marine Regions interacts with the user community through the establishment of Collaboration Agreements. Marine Regions depends on data and knowledge sharing from global, European, regional and national data providers and relevant experts. In turn data providers should benefit from belonging to the Marine Regions partnership as they would get increased visibility, gain access to a variety of data analysis services which will benefit from integration of several distributed spatial datasets, as well as enjoying the benefit of the creation of stable unique identifiers. The Collaboration Agreement would also foster a sense of ownership amongst the partners. An example template of a Collaboration Agreement can be found here. Please contact info@marineregions.org if your organisation is interested to explore this collaboration.

Editorial Community

The Marine Regions Editorial Community consists of volunteer editors and data providers dedicated to enhancing the Marine Regions database by contributing expertise and monitoring data quality. Members participate in annual workshops and provide feedback and data, concentrating on scientific matters rather than procedural ones. The community aims for balanced representation across disciplines, geography, and gender, operating primarily through electronic communication. You can apply for membership by sending your contact details, interest and proposed contribution.
