WP3 aims
• Provide access to point data*
• Combine this with environmental parameters to
create standard maps for all species*
• Establish expert verification system*
• Provide species inventories based on above*
• Using climate change and other factors predict
potential changes, with attention to algal blooms,
invasive species* and predator prey interactions
* - publicly available through AquaMaps
AquaMaps status

• Transects
For further consideration
• Climate change tools – e.g. future proofing
of MPAs
• Expansion to Fresh Water fishes ongoing
(some examples available already)
