As the rate of marine data acquisition increases, so too does the need for that data to abide by the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles. From the nation’s perspective, a coherent and assessable data source(s) enables smarter use and management of our marine estate. From a researcher’s perspective, open data can be advantageous by increasing citations, media attention, collaborations, jobs and funding opportunities. It is therefore vital that researchers and research organisations strive to release all marine metadata and data so that it is discoverable and accessible by the public.
With the development of national standards (Field Manuals for Marine Sampling to Monitor Australian Waters), it became clear that we were unable to advocate a national standard for data release for many data types (bathymetry, marine imagery, biological specimen data) because we either do not yet have suitable digital infrastructure or clear links between existing infrastructure.....
