Rainer’s Project
Ambitious goals:
Create an online Atlas with standardized maps for eventually all marine species– Maps for 100,000 species– 3-D maps (with depth)– Before-After maps– Seasonal maps– Predictive maps
3
Rainer’s ProjectAssumptions:• Algorithms and partners available (BiOSC,
WhyWhere, Lifemapper)• Enough point data available (OBIS)• Suitable ‘future ocean’ data available
Reality check:• LifeMapper stopped mapping, GARP-maps not
reproducible, can not be edited• Not enough points in OBIS
4
Point Data in OBIS
• 13.7 million records for 80,000 species
• Only ~ 22,000 species with > 10 points(11/2007)

Rainer’s ProjectAssumptions:• Algorithms and partners available (BiOSC,
WhyWhere, Lifemapper)• Enough point data available (OBIS)• Suitable ‘future ocean’ data availableReality check:• LifeMapper stopped mapping, GARP-maps not
reproducible, can not be edited• OBIS has points (>10) for only 22,000 species• ‘Future ocean’ data problematic (modeling of
primary production unsatisfactory)• So???

Actions• More money: INCOFISH WP Biomapping (0.5 M$,
Sven Kullander, Jonathan Ready)• More support: FishBase (Kathy Reyes), SealifeBase
(M.D.L. Palomares), CSIRO (Tony Rees), SAUP (Kristin Kaschner, Reg Watson), Hexacorals (Daphne Fautin)
• Three workshops to develop, test and implement a suitable algorithm

Species and online point databases are primary sources of key minimum input data.

• Occurrence points within bounding box or known FAO areas
Bounding box or FAO area limits serve as independent verification of the validity of occurrence records.

Global grid of 259,200 half degree cells
Good cells are used to derive the range of environmental parameters within the species’ native range.

• depth from the literature• range minima and maxima are derived from “good cells”• preferred min = 10th percentile; preferred max = 90th percentile
The environmental envelopes describe tolerances of a species with respect to each environmental parameter.

The overall probability of species occurrence for a given cell is the product of the probabilities under the different environmental parameters.

Plotting Species AquaMapsPlotting Species AquaMaps
Predictions document large-scale and long-term presence of a species. They cannot be assumed to precisely represent local occurrence of a species on a specific day of a specific year.

Next Steps
• Involve OBIS (CoML), GBIF, EoL – 10-12 December 2007 4th Mapping workshop in Kiel,
on mass-production of maps
• Find more funding – European SpeciesBase initiative
• Write 10,000 Maps paper in 2007• Go freshwater
– NRM Stockholm
• Go terrestrial– SMNS Stuttgart
