  8. But why do we need marine data… Now, for the first time, key marine base mapping and thematic data will be available direct to users within Higher and Further Education…. Via institutional subscription and user registration to Marine Digimap… Due to a licence agreed between JISC Collections and SeaZone Solutions Ltd. Ocean and Earth Sciences | Coastal Planning | Oceanography | Biology/Ecology |Resource Management (fisheries, environmental, economic) | Engineering & Technology| Marine Navigation | Marine Sports Technology | Maritime and Intermodal Transport | Maritime Leisure Management | Remote Sensing/GIS

  9. What data will be available?

  10. Who supplies the data? • Data provided by SeaZone Solutions Ltd (http://www.seazone.com) • wholly-owned by Admiralty Holdings Ltd (AHL), one of many companies wholly owned by Government. • At the cutting edge of development and supply of quality data about the marine environment.

  11. Hydrospatial – “Marine Mastermap” • Value added marine GI, derived from electronic navigation charts (S57) and other sources (SNH, EH, BGS etc) • Cookie cut to 2 degree tiles, so no overlaps • Mapinfo TAB and ESRI Shapefile format • Also gridded bathymetry in ASCII Grid and ArcInfo Grid formats • 7 “topic” layers, each containing several “theme” layers • Not all 2 degree tiles contain all “theme” layers

  12. Hydrospatial: Bathymetry & Elevation The nature and shape of the Earth’s surface on land (elevation) and under the sea (bathymetry).

  13. Hydrospatial: Natural and Physical Features • The natural topography of the coastal and marine environment including the biological, physical and chemical features within it. • Themes include • Land Cover, • Fauna & Flora, • Geology, • Hydrology, • Sea Cover.

  14. Hydrospatial: Structures & Obstructions • Human, physical structures and obstructions. • Themes include: • Wrecks, • Offshore Installations, • Shoreline Constructions, • Navigational Aids, • Obstructions.

  15. Hydrospatial:Socio Economic and Marine Use • Specified areas where one or more activities have been designated, are known to occur or are restricted. • Themes include • Admin & Regulation, • Activity & Licence Areas, • Aquaculture & Fisheries, • National Limits, • Transportation and Routes.

  16. SeaZone Hydrospatial: Conservation & Environmental Protection Designated boundaries for the purposes of conservation and environmental protection of natural and cultural heritage.

  17. SeaZone Hydrospatial: Climate & Oceanography Climate and weather information, tides and currents or locations where measurement and monitoring is or has been know to occur.

  18. SeaZone Hydrospatial: Metafeatures & Cartography • Spatial metadata, including information on: • survey extents, • non-surveyed areas, • quality of data, • survey reliability • etc.

  19. Charted Raster… NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATION

  20. Charted Raster: Many scales, many extents, many overlaps
