Animal Telemetry Network Data Assembly Center: Phase 1

Abstract

This project is part of a broader on-going collaboration between IOOS and the animal telemetry community. IOOS and ATN participants are currently updating a 5-year strategic plan that describes this collaboration, including the phased development of a sustainable ATN Data Assembly Center (or DAC) for data collected by the growing U.S. community of marine animal taggers or biologgers. The revised strategic plan presents a broad vision for an animal telemetry network as a core component of IOOS that will: Facilitate the organization of local animal telemetry systems into confederated regional nodes; Facilitate integration of animal telemetry instruments with existing observing systems; Improve data standards, management, sharing capability and establish a cyber- infrastructure for archiving and displaying telemetry data; Serve as a focal point for the development of new sensor technology; Bring permanence and sustainability to a national telemetry network; and Expand animal telemetry outreach and education programs.
