New Online Marine Aggregates Research Database
ABPmer, in collaboration with the GeoData Institute, has delivered an online research tool on behalf of DEFRA. The project was financed by the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) Marine Environmental Protection Fund (MEPF) and has created a database of research project information relating to marine aggregate extraction. The online system has been designed to maximise user benefit through improved ‘knowledge management’, and has been tailored to address scientific, as well as policy needs.
Users can now access this comprehensive body of marine aggregate research through a specially designed website: www.MarineALSF.org.uk. The website holds a ‘live’ register of research studies contained within a spatial database and, where available, supplies direct access to PDF research reports. The documented research is primarily marine-aggregates based, but also includes data from other relevant sectors of interest.
Jamie Moore, ABPmer’s Project Manager, said:
“This project has documented a wide range of marine aggregate project information and created a valuable reference system. The database will provide an important tool for scientists to search for marine-aggregate project information and will assist project funders when allocating themes and topics for future research priority.”
Bill Cooper, ABPmer’s Managing Director, said:
“This ALSF funded project is a significant piece of work that ABPmer is proud to have led.”
