IP Visualisation

The OBAMA-NEXT viewer is an open-source, web-based geospatial viewer platform that allows users to visualize, explore, compare, and intuitively download the Information Products (IP) generated within OBAMA-NEXT. IPs are datasets of marine biodiversity observational and modelling outputs that can directly support European biodiversity policy implementation.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select and explore marine biodiversity information products.
  • Explore observational and model-based datasets covering marine biodiversity across Europe.

Output

  • Interactive marine biodiversity maps and visualisations.
  • Downloadable datasets showing observational and modelling outputs.
  • Access to biodiversity-related information products through a web-based geospatial platform.

Use it to

  • Visualise and analyse marine biodiversity patterns.
  • Support biodiversity assessments.
  • Access biodiversity information products for research and policy purposes.
  • Provide evidence for the implementation of European marine biodiversity policies.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Supports adaptation planning by providing an accessible way to explore and understand marine biodiversity information across Europe. The platform helps establish a baseline understanding of marine ecosystems and biodiversity conditions, which can support the preparation of adaptation actions and the monitoring of environmental change over time. By making biodiversity information products easy to visualise, compare and download, it facilitates the use of scientific evidence in policy and decision-making processes.

Used in

  • Marine biodiversity assessment and monitoring
  • Supporting implementation of European marine biodiversity policies
  • Marine ecosystem baseline assessments
  • Research and environmental analysis using observational and modelling outputs
  • Evidence gathering for marine conservation and ecosystem management
  • Monitoring environmental change and biodiversity trends across European marine regions
