[ESIP-all] Marine Biodiversity Data Mobilization Workshop

[Tylar Murray]

Hi everyone,

Join us for the fourth Marine Biodiversity Data Mobilization Workshop - a
contribution to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development
and the Marine Life 2030 Decade Action <https://marinelife2030.org/>. The
workshop is jointly hosted by CIOOS <https://catalogue.cioos.ca/>, Hakai
<https://hakai.org/>, IOOS <https://ioos.noaa.gov/>, MBON
<https://marinebon.org/>, OBIS-USA
<https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/science-analytics-and-synthesis/obis-usa>,
and OTN <https://oceantrackingnetwork.org/>.

This workshop is intended to be a small hands-on, interactive, virtual
workshop focused on mobilizing marine biodiversity observation datasets to
the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS). The primary objective of
the workshop is helping data providers standardize their data according to
Darwin Core. This includes species observations from any type of sampling
methodologies (e.g. visual surveys, net tows, microscopy, fish trawls,
imaging, ‘omics, acoustics, telemetry). The workshop will be held
virtually November
4 - 6, 2025 from 1300 - 1700 ET.

Given the setup of the workshop, participants must come prepared with their
own dataset to work on. Please provide the title, a description and the
blockers you are facing by creating a GitHub issue following this template:

To apply, please fill out this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SpWMiYQQE5THaDICQJEVC0EhUpmY23FQqFLwlNb0mOQ/edit>.
Application deadline: September 15, 2025. Accepted applicants will be
notified no later than October 1, 2025.

Accepted participants will receive details about workshop logistics shortly
after being notified. Please forward to colleagues who may be interested in
this event.

We look forward to seeing you online!

Kind regards,

The Standardizing Marine Biological Data Working Group
