Abstract
Accredited through the MEDIN partnership, and core-funded by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Scottish Government, DASSH provides tools and services for the long-term curation, management and publication of marine species and habitats data, within the UK and internationally. DASSH is a flagship initiative of the Marine Biological Association (MBA), and builds on the MBA’s historic role in marine science. Through partnerships with other UK and European data centres DASSH contributes to data portals including the Atlas of Living Scotland, the UK National Biodiversity Network, EMODnet, EurOBIS and GBIF.
