Future of the CMARegional atlasNational atlas development
Importance of access to environmental dataData Management for Policy Making
Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) Data required for planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluationRegional scale information availabilityCommunication with policy makers
Inter and intradepartmental data sharingNeed easy access to restricted dataData quality and metadata standardsImproved data sharingData and information warehousing
Communication with publicCentral access point for marine dataEnhance data and data product deliveryReduce product delivery overhead
African Marine Atlas
AMA ProjectODINAFRICA Initiative
1 Year startupHosted by IODECaribbean Project
Improved decision-making
Regional collaborationCapacity buildingImproved data accessImproved data delivery and communication
CMA Project Development1st Stakeholder Meeting for the Development of the CMA Project (October 8-10, 2007)
Regional information gathering workshop Participants from 6 Caribbean countriesCore initiative with scope for expansion
Workshop GoalsTo inform the participating countries of the potential benefits of a Caribbean Marine AtlasTo identify current national coastal zone management arrangementsTo identify national and regional coastal and marine issues that could be the focus of the Caribbean Marine AtlasTo identify the national resource requirements of the participating countries to enable full participation in a Caribbean Marine Atlas Pilot ProjectTo prepare a draft work plan of a Caribbean Marine Atlas Pilot Project, for submission to, and approval by the respective national governments

Workshop Conclusions
Regional Data Management IssuesLittle or no data quality control (geographic, range analysis)No established metadata schemesLack of institutional resources
Personnel and trainingEquipment
For the AtlasIdentify geographic Area of Interest (AOI) for the Atlas Agree the topic outlineGather available data according to the scope of topics, geographic limits and temporal considerations Describe metadata and source location URLs Review gridded datasets for data value rangesConvert all data to appropriate GIS formatsShapefiles for vector data ASCII ArcGrids for gridded data and satellite imagery Geo-referenced images to accompany most arrays Clip all GIS files to the AOI Convert data to required products (e.g. seasonal climatological grids/contours) Convert these products to the correct GIS formats Create a browser interface to the GIS files, with links to the metadata files and source location URLs Publish the atlas on the Internet with a interface using static HTML pages Publish the atlas as an interactive Map Service Publish the browser-based atlas on DVD for dissemination Produce a hardcopy publication
CMA Requirements
For the National Atlas Coordinating GroupIdentify national teamleaderIdentify required training to participate in Atlas project Detail equipment requirements (and send to IODE secretariat)Identify if data are available in electronic or paper form Identify restrictions on use of data Locate all historical records available nationally Perform data quality control on data Conversion of data sets into shapefiles Import layers into national mapserver system*
