Abstract

A significant proportion of Florida's population lives on the coast and is directly impacted by alterations to the coastal zone, weather disasters (e.g., hurricanes, erosion, flooding), or changes to ecosystem services. Data collected in Florida waters (including water quality, habitat health, bathymetry, and fisheries data) are important for the maintenance of coastal waters, communities, and ecosystems. Yet benthic data collected by a variety of stakeholders are often not shared or openly available, with little metadata to ease data reuse, and are often stored in incompatible formats. To assess the needs of government agencies, private companies, academic researchers, and data managers, we conducted a survey and organized an expert focus group to determine the current state of coastal and marine data usage and distribution in Florida. Through the survey, we asked participants to describe the types of data they use or collect, how they use that data, what limitations they encounter with data sharing, how and when they share their data, and what sorts of metadata standards they use in their work. We determined that many data producers and users are unaware of data standards and often do not follow best management practices for data collection and sharing. The sector of activity of the individual respondent (government, academic, non-profit) determined how data users were interacting with or collecting data and what standards they followed when sharing data. Our expert panel largely echoed our findings, with consistent, well-documented, and standardized datasets being the most important components for data integration in projects. To advance accessibility and reusability of benthic data, our project highlights the need for additional training of stakeholders on data standardization, collaboration and integration, which needs to be applied across institutions. A major need that was identified is tools that make data sharing and metadata creation easier and more efficient.

确定佛罗里达州使用海洋底栖生物数据的社区做法
佛罗里达有相当一部分人口生活在沿海地区,他们直接受到沿海地区变化、气象灾害(如 飓风、侵蚀、洪水)或生态系统服务变化的影响。在佛罗里达水域收集的数据(包括水质、生境健康、水深测量和渔业数据)对维护沿岸水域、 社区和生态系统非常重要。然而,各种利益相关者收集的底栖生物数据往往不能共享或公开,几乎没有元数据来方便数据的再利用,而且通常以不兼容的格式存储。为了评估政府机构、私营公司、学术研究人员和数据管理人员的需求,我们开展了一项调查,并组织了一个专家小组,以确定佛罗里达州沿海和海洋数据的使用和分布现状。通过调查,我们要求参与者描述他们使用或收集的数据类型、他们如何使用这些数 据、他们在数据共享方面遇到的限制、他们共享数据的方式和时间,以及他们在工作中 使用的元数据标准类型。我们发现,许多数据生产者和使用者并不了解数据标准,而且往往不遵循数据收集和共享的最佳管理实践。受访者的活动部门(政府、学术界、非营利组织)决定了数据用户如何与数据互动或收集数据,以及他们在共享数据时遵循哪些标准。我们的专家小组在很大程度上赞同我们的结论,即一致、有据可查和标准化的数据集是项目数据整合的最重要组成部分。为了提高底栖生物数据的可访问性和可重用性,我们的项目强调需要对利益相关者进行更多有关数据标准化、协作和整合的培训,这些培训需要在各机构间进行。已确定的一个主要需求是使数据共享和元数据创建更容易、更高效的工具。

期刊介绍: Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
