CHALLENGES IN FRESHWATER BIODIVERSITY: JOINING FORCES TO FACILITATE MONITORING, DATA COMPILATION AND PUBLISHING

Species distribution data are crucial for understanding biodiversity dynamics and the underlying drivers. This is especially the case for freshwaters, which are among the most endangered ecosystems globally. However, a huge body of data gathered by scientists and water managers is currently difficult to access: systematic data publishing practices have not been fully adopted yet and data embedded in scientific papers and research project websites are often challenging to extract. At the same time, data and knowledge generated through publically-funded research or monitoring programmes are considered a common good. The Freshwater Information Platform (FIP) aims at pooling freshwater related research information from multiple projects and initiatives to make it easily accessible for scientists, water managers, conservationists and the interested public. FIP consists of several major components, three of which form its “data publication unit”. These are presented here as tool to streamline open access freshwater data publication, arguing it will improve the capacity to protect and manage freshwater biodiversity in the face of global change. We further present linkages to and cooperation with other key initiatives in the field, namely the Alliance for Freshwater Life as well as Freshwater BON.
