Objectives:
DTO-BioFlow aims to enhance access to "sleeping" marine biodiversity data and enable the sustainable integration of
existing and new AI processed and automated data flows into the EDITO infrastructure serving the EU DTO.
Combining sustained data flows, models and new algorithms, DTO BioFlow will develop and integrate the biological component of the DTO, including new digital tools and services.
ICES role:
- Increasing the flow of relevant biodiversity data with a focus on identifying existing barriers and develop pathways for sustained access.
- Building the biodiversity component with other relevant biodiversity data sources and especially data from official reports as part of MSFD, the Birds and Habitats Directives, connections with the WISE Marine - Water Information System
This project has received funding from the European Commission - Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 101112823.
