Project Background



The platform is a replacement for the old "Marine Recorder" desktop application, which is at end-of-life and no longer sustainable for business use. It is used by all of the UK SCNBs (JNCC, Natural England, NatureScot, Natural Resources Wales, DAERA), along with key marine NGOs, who provide high quality marine benthic survey evidence.

The old Marine Recorder was developed in the 2000s and was showing its age in both the software used, and data model, making maintenance and support unsustainable in the long term, in addition to the quantity of stored data nearing software limitations within Microsoft Access itself. A review of the current system was carried out in 2016, under the Streamlining Marine Advice innovation lab.

The geospatial biodiversity and accessory data within the platform will be curated under the custodianship of a closed list of custodian organisations, the only route for data into the system being via one of these organisations who will provide the overall responsibility of quality control and data entry.

Data within the system is key to a wide variety of UK and international marine and conservation reporting objectives and forms the backbone of many policy decisions and further informative datasets across all countries in the UK. As such, it contains a reporting application, to provide key stakeholders the ability to query and extract final data in the system for their public task needs, and to their level of data access....
