The Data Working Group met today to discuss the structure and function of the West Coast Ocean Data Network Knowledge Base which will serve as a resource for people interested in sharing and contributing data to the the WCODP. We also heard an update about our ongoing data development project to create new data products related to kelp, littoral cells, and fishery closed areas. If you would like to participate in defining user requirements for the new data products, please contact todd.r.hallenbeck@gmail.com.
