Objective
This transnational project aims to develop a model Environmental Records Centre, designed for improved decision-making for replication anywhere in Europe. The principal results will be the establishment of three fully functioning regional Records Centres, the extension of the application of the CORINE project, and the demonstration of real data exchange between regional, national and European wildlife databases.
An Environmental Records Centre collects, processes and provides to users records of flora, fauna and habitats for the geographical area that it covers. The project will examine the varying requirments for Records Centres in EC Member States, develop the Somerset Environmental Records Centre as a model for replication elsewhere and implement and test the model in regions of Spain and France.
Improving access to existing biodiversity data has been widely recognised as a priority. Through this project the exchange of wildlife data between regional, national and European databases will become a reality, extending the application of the CORINE project.
The emphasis in Records Centre design will be on systems of recording, information processing and dissemination that are of optimum use for decision making in land-use planning and management. The project will include the establishment of a land management advice system based on Records Centre data, assisting the implementation of EC environmental policy including the Agri-Environment Regulation 2078/92.
Innovative in combining all professional and volunteer data sources, and having a local focus with national and European compatibility, the model Records Centre will become a dynamic information support system for decision making.
