Data solutions

We provide bespoke solutions and services for the collation, storage, standardisation and interrogation of marine environmental and ecological data.

We offer clients tailored solutions from the development of cloud-based relational databases for storage and manipulation of long-term monitoring data to the extraction of data locked in out-dated formats.

Our flagship tool, ABACUS, is a publicly available, cloud-based platform for laboratory, consultancy, and field teams. It provides a single, standardised marine ecological data platform that is compliant with internationally recognised data standards. We are also developing Marine Recorder Online, the cloud-based replacement to Marine Recorder, used widely by the UK’s statutory nature conservation bodies.

 

Mapping and modelling software

We utilise advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to map and model marine environments. This includes consolidating and importing data into repositories like Marine Recorder and MEDIN, supporting licensing and statutory requirements.
