Joint Cetacean Data Programme

Huge thanks to Jack Lucas for representing the Working Group for the #JCDP last week at the @ICES_ASC #StrengthInCollaboration #Data #FAIR

The JCDP aims to make cetacean data more accessible to all to provide a stronger base for quality analyses in support of cetacean conservation and management. Head to the info hub for guidance on submitting, viewing or using data: ℹ️ jncc.gov.uk/our-work/joint…

The JCDP continues to develop in functionality, expanding the data collated on the portal to include other marine species and the development of data products

July marked the 2nd anniversary of launching the JCDP. In just 2 years we have created a set of tools for standardising, storing and accessing effort-based cetacean data and accepted almost 550,000 km of survey effort to the Portal

The JCDP has expanded its scope beyond cetaceans to include of other marine species! #seals, #turtles, large-bodied #sharks, and some fish like ocean #sunfish and #tuna, observed during cetacean surveys.

Recently the @ICES_ASC Working Group for the #JCDP met in Copenhagen to develop some exciting new features and decide on our priorities for the JCDP over the next 3 years. The JCDP has achieved a lot so far but #ItsOnlyTheBeginning #WatchThisSpace

We are excited to be attending the 35th @EuroCetSoc conference next week! Come chat about cetacean data on Wednesday afternoon during poster session A #JCDP #ECS #ECSconference2024 #marinemammals #cetaceans #CataniaECS2024 #Data @JNCC_UK

We've updated our website! The JCDP Information Hub has been updated with the latest updates from the JCDP, and made it easier to find information to help use the JCDP to submit or download cetacean survey data. Check it out 👉 jncc.gov.uk/jcdp @JNCC_UK @ICES_ASC

Want data about your data? For every survey on the JCDP there is a metadata record hosted on the @ICES_ASC Metadata Catalogue. Access these via the JCDP map, or directly through the catalogue. 🗺️cetaceans.ices.dk/viewonmap 📋gis.ices.dk/geonetwork/JCD… @JNCC_UK

Looking for effort-based cetacean data for your project? Easily download or request restricted datasets from the JCDP database using the "download layer" feature on the map 🗺️cetaceans.ices.dk/viewonmap @ICES_ASC @JNCC_UK

It's easy to select for the data you want on the JCDP Platform. Use filter criteria to choose the species, years or regions of interest Head over to the @ICES_ASC database to view and download records 🗺️ cetaceans.ices.dk/viewonmap ℹ️ jncc.gov.uk/our-work/joint… @JNCC_UK

Thanks to a great effort from @ORCA_web, the JCDP Portal now has its first 2023 data!! 🐬🚢 Head over to the portal now to browse datasets or upload your own survey data ⬇️ 🗺️cetaceans.ices.dk/viewonmap

The information collected though the #SCANS surveys since 1995 are the foundation of our knowledge of #cetacean species in UK waters, and this latest iteration is key for upcoming species status assessments for UK Habitat Regulations and others

The most abundance species seen were common dolphin, harbour porpoise and striped dolphin

The SCANS IV report has been published today! 👉tiho-hannover.de/itaw/scans-iv-… @SCANS_4 @JNCC_UK @DefraGovUK @MarineMammalAU @UnivLaRochelle @IEOVigo @IEOoceanografia @WURmarine @_SMRU_ @naturhistoriska @UnivAveiro @CESAM_Univ @ICES_ASC

We've hit a big milestone for the #JCDP! Aerial #cetacan #survey data from #SCANS II and III have been uploaded and are now fully available online. And more data to come soon! cetaceans.ices.dk @JNCC_UK @ICES_ASC @scans_4 @SCANS_3
