Australia is a ‘marine nation’ – an island continent with the third largest ocean territory on the ‘Blue Planet’. Our borders are maritime and we generate massive wealth from marine industries. Most of our population lives in highly urbanised centres on or near the coast, and we are extremely sensitive to ocean-influenced climate and weather, through drought, flood, and tropical cyclones. Our ocean territory contains marine biodiversity of globally significant conservation and tourism value, ranging from the high tropics to Antarctica. These factors combine to establish the need for sustained ocean observing in the Australian context, for many uses and users. Despite this clear, national need, responsibility for ocean observing and management is fragmented and dispersed. A National Oceans Policy and independent National Oceans Office were established in 1998, but were subsumed into the Federal Environment portfolio by 2005. The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather agency, and while its role has expanded to encompass climate and water services over the last decade, it is only now beginning to consider an expanded role in marine services. Jurisdiction of the marine environment, including responsibility for marine monitoring, is shared across Federal, State and Territory Governments, across different Departments within those various Governments, and between industrial users and regulators in areas like offshore oil and gas and commercial fishing. It is also significant to note that Australia has no earth observation from space (EOS) capability of its own. Since 2006, Australia has put in place a national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). Established as a research infrastructure, IMOS routinely operates a wide range of observing equipment, making all of its data openly accessible to the marine and climate science community, other stakeholders and users, and international collaborators. It is integrated from open-ocean to coast, and across physical, chemical and biological ocean variables. This talk will focus on what has been learnt through the experience of building IMOS as a research infrastructure in a context where sustained ocean observations are needed by many users.

The COVID-19 pandemic unleashed during 2020 implied a change in the way of doing archaeology on a global scale. In Argentina, in particular, activities had to move to the domestic sphere and, most times, the possibility of carrying out fieldwork, material analysis and collection management in the usual workplaces was lost. This practice showed the need for repositories, libraries and online databases that would allow access to archaeological information. Suquía, the institutional repository of IDACOR, has been compiling and disseminating archaeological information since 2016, although it had not yet developed its capacity to include databases that would allow meta-analysis of the information hosted. So, the needs raised by the lockdown led to implementing an action aimed at incorporating data from 1938 archaeological sites in the Province of Córdoba (Argentina) together with IDACORDIG (an implementation of the Arches software) which links this set to a spatial database, creating a gazetteer of archaeological sites for the region. This integration is the first of its kind in Argentina, and fosters an increase in primary information and grey literature visibility, together with publications preprints and prints that allow continuity in the study of archaeology on a regional scale. In this presentation we will characterize this process and its technical aspects to aware on the potential of this type of platform for its integration into digital infrastructures of global impact.

Using geographic information systems for community and environmental responsibility. Public Participatory GIS provides a means for 'citizen scientists' to not only supply information but to participate in the consultation process. Geographic information technologies are used in participatory settings and to support information gathering. The value of PPGIS: * community inclusion and engagement are integrated * conservation and development * sustainable natural resource management * discussion of customary property rights The presentation shows examples of projects where information has been collected by community groups and how it made a difference.

Ireland's Environment an integrated assessment 2020 - key messages

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s rivers. Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. Three-quarters of these channels are very small streams that typically flow into larger rivers. Biological monitoring has been carried out in Irish rivers since 1971. The current national river monitoring programme covers more than 13,000 km of river channel. The national monitoring programme is run by the EPA and focuses on the main river channels rather than the smaller streams. The programme includes more than 2,800 sites sampled for biology, with almost half of these being sampled for physical and chemical parameters.

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring phytoplankton in Ireland's marine environment. The EPA and the Marine Institute sample phytoplankton in estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland. They carry out sampling three times during the summer and once during winter. At each location, they take water samples just below the surface and above the seabed. They use the samples to assess how much phytoplankton is in the water and what species are present. Phytoplankton are tiny, free-floating plants found suspended in the world’s oceans. Their name comes from Greek and means ‘plant drifter’. They are carried along by ocean currents and are usually found floating near the surface of the water. Like all plants they need sunlight to grow. The main sources of nutrients around Ireland’s coast are discharges from wastewater treatment plants and run off from agricultural land. Phytoplankton in the estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland are monitored by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and the Marine Institute. They monitor phytoplankton to assess the quality (status) of our marine environment. They must do this as part of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s marine environment. Ecologically healthy marine waters are a valuable natural resource. They support a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, habitats and species, and they are also a source of food – from wild fisheries and aquaculture. They are also important for recreational activities and tourism. Transitional and coastal waters are assessed under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Having coordinated frameworks for water quality for all the water bodies in Ireland, and across Europe, allows us to compare our results with other countries. It allows us to see what works to help us make sure all our water bodies achieve at least ‘good’ status, and no deterioration occurs.

This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s lakes. A total of 225 lakes are currently included as part of the national surface waters monitoring programme run by the EPA, this covers around 80% of the surface area of all lakes in Ireland. This includes: • all lakes greater than 50 hectares • lakes that are used for supplying drinking water • lakes that are of regional, local or scientific interest

EPA Lake Monitoring Fact Sheet

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This Plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring aquatic plants in Irish lakes. Aquatic plants are good at showing if the quality of the water is good or bad and play an important role in lake ecology by providing food and a habitat for many smaller plants, animals and birds. They also: • provide shelter for young fish • help to improve the clarity of the water • help stabilise lake shore banks • reduce the amount of sediment being suspended in the water The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors these aquatic plants at more than 10,000 sites in over 200 lakes once every three years.
