How can we maintain and maximise the value of long-term monitoring datasets
while ensuring their integration and consistency with new technologies and
approaches?

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.
