What approaches best support data accessibility and comparability while allowing
for innovation in data collection methodologies?

Background

Effective management of Scotland's marine and freshwater environments requires robust,
timely, and accessible data and evidence. This research area focuses on developing and
implementing new approaches for monitoring, data collection, analysis, and curation and
sharing to support evidence-based decision-making and adaptive management.
