MARCO-BOLO: BiOdiversity Long-term Observations – Strengthening biodiversity observation in support of decision making
Acronim: MARCO-BOLO
Coastal and marine areas are incredibly dynamic and productive oceanic regions, providing significant resources and services for both wildlife and people. But they are also subject to intense pressures from agricultural and industry pollution in waterways, dredging and building development.
Many national and regional programmes assess environmental health and human impact on our coasts, but these programmes are often fragmented, short term and uncoordinated at larger scales.
MARCO-BOLO aims to connect the existing initiatives, to optimise and improve the methods, and to further innovate the technologies for biodiversity observations.
- The project aims to deliver a transformative change in how marine biodiversity is monitored and managed. The research team will engage with diverse stakeholders to tailor their research and observation data for direct use, delivering practical tools that will allow politicians and companies to determine biodiversity health, predict and monitor changes from imposed policies, and proactively manage environments.
- MARCO-BOLO’s innovations address the full pipeline of data collection and use: from testing new monitoring tools using eDNA, robotics, optical and acoustic techniques, to data integration methods for environmental modelling, and guidance on how data can be stored, shared and applied in policy contexts.
