Pioneering the management and provision of data and information
The MBA has a rich data portfolio with time series data running from 1903 to present day; including phytoplankton, zooplankton, rocky shore species and larval and adult demersal fish. The time-series data from the MBA contributes to the Western Channel Observatory. The MBA has pioneered the management and provision of data and information through flagship projects such as the National Marine Biological Library (NMBL), the Marine Life Information Network (MarLIN) and the UK Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data (DASSH). Since 2018 the MBA has been accredited as the UK Node for the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS), the global data and information clearing-house for marine biodiversity data.
