[Medin_partners] Call for volunteers - MEDIN STAG to develop a Data Strategy Implementation Plan for the UK Marine Monitoring and Assessment Strategy (UKMMAS) community.

[Miskin-Hymas, Charlotte]

Dear Colleagues,

The Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) are looking for volunteers to help develop a Data Strategy Implementation Plan for the UK Marine Monitoring and Assessment Strategy (UKMMAS) community.  This will be done using a Short-Term Activity Group (i.e. Task and Finish Group). This group will be short lived and will focus entirely on this discrete activity.

Background

The UKMMAS community have developed a high-level marine data strategy<https://medin.org.uk/sites/medin/files/documents/UK_marine_monitoring_and_assessment_data_strategy_final_2022.pdf> and require separate guidance on how to implement it. This will include templates and training resources/crib sheets for each area covered by the strategy. The guidance will also include a steer on where to focus effort, noting current obstacles and challenges to progress in this area. Further consideration will be given to cross referencing the strategy with other relevant strategies and initiatives e.g. the National Data Strategy and the UK's Geospatial Strategy, amongst others.  However, there are specific challenges unique to working with marine data, such as the complexity of the marine environment and the high cost of data collection and archival/storage, which makes it essential to have a tailored data strategy implementation plan for the UKMMAS community.

If you or any of your colleagues are interested in helping to develop this plan, please reply to this email by 1st August 2022. A member of the MEDIN Core Team will then be in touch to arrange a virtual meeting.

Best wishes,

Charlotte
