Integration of biodiversity monitoring data into the Digital Twin Ocean

Projektbeschreibung

KI-gestützte Integration von Daten zur biologischen Vielfalt in den Digital Twin Ocean

Das Ziel der Mission im Rahmen von Horizont Europa ist es, die Ozeane und ihre biologische Vielfalt bis 2030 zu schützen. Dafür soll ein digitales Wissenssystem einschließlich eines digitalen Zwillings des Ozeans (Digital Twin Ocean) eingerichtet werden, das auf präzisen Daten zu Meereslebewesen und Umweltbelastungen beruht. Diese Datenerhebung ist von zentraler Bedeutung, damit aus dem Digital Twin Ocean Erkenntnisse für evidenzbasierte Strategien hervorgehen. Über das EU-finanzierte Projekt DTO-BioFlow soll der Zugang zu bisher ungenutzten Daten zur biologischen Vielfalt der Meere erleichtert werden. Zudem soll die nachhaltige Integration bestehender und neuer Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen gefördert werden. Zu den Projektaufgaben gehört die Ausarbeitung der biologischen Aspekte für den Digital Twin Ocean, einschließlich Datenflüssen, Modellen und Algorithmen.

Ziel

"The ocean and its biodiversity are essential to life on this planet. Comprehensive data on biodiversity, and related human and environmental pressures are crucial to understand its current state and how this may change. Protecting and restoring biodiversity is one of three objectives of the Horizon Europe Mission to restore our oceans and waters by 2030, enabling the EU to reach its Green Deal and Biodiversity 2030 targets. Identified as one of the Mission ""enablers"", the EU will build on “a digital knowledge system” to include a Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) allowing simulation of ‘what if’ scenarios, advancing ocean knowledge, informing evidence-based policy and offering a range of societal applications. To effectively replicate the ocean’s ecology, the DTO requires sustained flows of data on biodiversity and associated pressures. Despite myriad actors collecting biodiversity data, and the development of novel cost-effective monitoring technologies, much of these data are inaccessible or unusable for a variety of reasons, hampering the development of the DTO biological component and limiting its efficacy.
DTO-BioFlow will activate access to (""sleeping"") marine biodiversity data and enable the sustainable integration of existing and new Artificial Intelligence processed and automated data flows from various sources to EMODnet and into the EDITO infrastructure serving the EU DTO. Combining sustained data flows, models and new algorithms, DTO-BioFlow will develop and integrate the biological component of the DTO, including new digital tools and services. Policy-relevant use cases, will demonstrate the benefit for marine ecosystems of continuous data streams flowing through EMODnet and usable by the EU DTO infrastructures and ultimate end-users. Mobilising the marine biodiversity community towards increasing the availability of biodiversity monitoring data into 2030, DTO-BioFlow and its outputs will support the Mission’s actions to protect and restore biodiversity."
