Coastal Data Mapping Round-table Invitation
You are being invited to come join a round-table event to discuss storage and accessibility of coastal
data in Western Australia.
There are many types of data being gathered in WA in relation to our coastlines, by different types
of organisations. The Coastal and Marine Community Network (CMCN) has identified through
surveys and in exchange with collaborators that there is a keen interest to discuss solutions to
centralise and make data more visible and accessible to different coastal practitioners.
In our role as facilitator, we invite you and your organisation, to join us in sharing the current state
of data collation, storage, and dissemination with the intention of coordinating efforts in WA
increasing collaboration maximising resource efficiency.
Outcomes expected:
- A list of types of data being collected in WA
- Data storage methods
- Options for a centralised storage of data, and if that is desired
- Synergies between organisations
- Ways forward in data sharing and data accessibility
If there is interest, the CMCN may become available to facilitate future Coastal Data Mapping
meetings.
DISCLAIMER: WA CMCN does not have the capacity to store data or coordinate data collection and
storage. Our role as a network is the coordination of efforts to achieve a common goal.
