Project description
Investigating the political aspects of marine biodiversity data
Marine biodiversity data will play a central role in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. However, not all countries have the capacity to develop and use data infrastructures. Conflicting perceptions of who benefits from marine biodiversity research represent a significant obstacle, but the political aspects of the ensuing data remain understudied. Based on observations on how biodiversity data is represented and used, the EU-funded MARIPOLDATA project will develop and implement a new multiscale methodology for the analysis of science–policy interrelations in empirical research. To achieve this goal, the project will combine ethnographic studies at intergovernmental negotiation sites, comparative analysis of national biodiversity monitoring policies and practices, bibliometric and social network analyses and oral history interviews.
