BIOMAD

BIOMAD is the Database on Marine Biological Monitoring Data, administred by the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University.
Monitoring of biological variables has been an integral part of the national swedish monitoring programme, funded by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (NV), since the mid 1970ties. In order to produce a comprehensive database of all marine biological monitoring data the Stockholm Marine Research Centre (SMRC) and the Department of Systems Ecology was contracted by NV in 1996.
The database contains data concerning pelagic programmes, sediment and its macrofauna, attached vegetation and its fauna, toxicity tests (Monoporeia affinis) and consumer population monitoring (seals, eagles).

Please visit the website for more information on the project and the presentation of the data.

The Sound Water Co-operation database

The Sound Water Co-operation is the name of a co-operation agreement which was signed in 1995 by Danish and Swedish counties and local councils around the Sound. The purpose of the agreement is to provide for a nice aquatic environment in the Sound. The Sound Water Co-operation during the period 1999-2001 runs a combined model project and data base project which is co-financed by means of EU-interreg funds and contributions from the participating parties.

The parties have agreed that the relevant environmental data must be made available across national, regional and local boundaries in a common data base for the Sound in order to provide an overview of the environmental condition of the Sound. The parties to the agreement have worked on this project in 2000-2001 in co-operation with the DHI- Institute for Water and Environment, Denmark. The data base which is accessible via the Internet is a linking of several Danish and Swedish data bases. It consists of two parts: A "register part" describing the data and the data bases, which are available, and a second part consisting of the actual data bases. These contain information about ecotoxic substances, water chemistry, hydrology and bottom fauna in the Sound.

Please visit the website for more information on the project and the presentation of the data.

SHARK (The Swedish Ocean Archive)

SMHI has been appointed 'Data Host for National Physical and Chemical Oceanographic Monitoring Data', generated by the Co-ordinated Swedish Environmental Research, funded by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The contract between SMHI and SEPA stipulates that these data should be made available on the web.

If data from this site is used in any publication(s) you should refer to SHARK as the data source and also acknowledge that the data were collected within the Co-ordinated Environmental Monitoring in Sweden, funded by the SEPA.

At present the presentation is only in Swedish, but an english translation is expected soon.
