MBON POLE TO POLE: ROCKY SHORE BIODIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS

The MBON Pole to Pole effort seeks to develop a framework for the collection, use and sharing of marine biodiversity data in a coordinated, standardized manner leveraging on existing infrastructure managed by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS; IOC-UNESCO), the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), and the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). The MBON Pole to Pole aims to become a key resource for decision-making and management of living resource across countries in the Americas for reporting requirements under the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), Aichi Targets of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This collection corresponds to the species registered on intertidal rocky shores of Massachusetts, using the MBON Pole to Pole sampling protocol for Rocky Shores, with funding from the National Science Foundation (OCE-1635989)

跨极海洋生物多样性观测网络（MBON Pole to Pole）项目旨在依托全球海洋观测系统（GOOS；联合国教科文组织政府间海洋学委员会）、地球观测组织生物多样性观测网络（GEO BON）以及海洋生物地理信息系统（OBIS）所管理的现有基础设施，以协调统一、规范标准的方式，搭建海洋生物多样性数据的收集、使用与共享框架。该项目旨在成为美洲各国生物资源决策与管理的核心支撑资源，以满足生物多样性和生态系统服务政府间科学政策平台（IPBES）、《生物多样性公约》（CBD）爱知目标以及联合国2030年可持续发展议程（可持续发展目标，SDGs）的报告要求。本次数据集收录的是马萨诸塞州潮间带岩岸的登记物种，其采样遵循跨极海洋生物多样性观测网络的岩岸采样规范，项目资金由美国国家科学基金会（OCE-1635989）提供。
