Ifremer’s Research Infrastructures and Information Systems will lead task 2.1 (scanning the seascape) in WP2, where, in collaboration with the case studies leaders, they will perform a survey of the available data resources required by the project and publish online a metadata catalogue of these resources. Ifremer will support VLIZ in leading WP2 and will also contribute to the training in WP8 and communication activities in WP9.
