Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: AquaMaps


1
AquaMaps
  • Rainer Froese
  • GBIF-Copenhagen 30 January 2008

2
Three Tables Only
  • HSPEN
  • Species environmental tolerance envelopes
  • HCAF
  • Half-degree cell authority file
  • Temp., PP, depth, salinity, EEZ, LME,
  • HSPEC
  • SpeciesCode, CellCode, Probability, Remark

3
Why Not GARP?
  • Yes, AquaMaps are computer-generated, but
  • Points alone are insufficient
  • Known range, depth range, pelagic/benthic
  • Transparency, reproducibility
  • Editing by experts
  • Formal comparison (submitted) shows AquaMaps to
    be as good or better than other algorithms in
    reproducing known ranges

4
10,000 Species in 2008
  • Half of all marine fishes (7,000)
  • All marine mammals
  • All marine reptiles (turtles, snakes)
  • Many seabirds (those that are predicted by the
    properties of the water)
  • Several thousand invertebrates
  • Important invasive species

5
Highlights 2008
  • Points, suitable habitat and native range on
    mouse-over
  • Environmental envelopes for 10,000 species
  • Biodiversity maps (species richness, phylogeny,
    traits, importance, habitats, )
  • Prediction of invasive species
  • MPA planning
  • Transects

6
To Do
  • Publish high impact paper on highlights
  • Firmly integrate climate change (mouse-over)
  • Partner with biodiversity initiatives, projects
    proposals (Bio-mapping WP)
  • Map freshwater and terrestrial species

7
Usage by Others
  • For selected species, code for thumbnails and
    link to full maps can be included in other web
    pages (download code from AquaMaps page)
  • For heavy users lists of available maps will be
    provided on request

8
No Vaporware Species Maps www.aquamaps.org
  • Whale shark (cosmopolitan)
  • Blackfin spiderfish (continental shelves)
  • Porbeagle (Lamna nasus, anti-tropical)
  • Tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon, Florida)
  • Lion fish (Pterois volitans, Florida)
  • Mnemiopsis leidyi (invasive Black Sea)

9
No Vaporware Thematic Mapswww.aquamaps.org
  • What lives in my Bay?
  • What species may invade my coast?
  • Where shall I put an MPA?
  • No sharks in Antarctica
  • Deep-water biodiversity Cold Spots
  • Checklists by Ecosystem and Country

10
No Vaporware Toolswww.aquamaps.org
  • Known invasive species
  • Invertebrates
  • Freshwater maps
  • Transects

11
Equatorial Species Richness Transect across the
Indo-Pacific
12
No Vaporware Web Serviceswww.aquamaps.org
  • How to include AquaMaps in your own web site

13
Scope for Partnership
  • All AquaMaps are available to GBIF
  • Homework
  • Have more good species with more than 10 good
    points
  • Show depth ranges (adopt from OBIS schema)
  • Support mass-production of marine AquaMaps

14
Scope for Partnership
  • Assist GBIF Sweden to lead the effort for
    mass-production of AquaMaps for freshwater
    terrestrial species
