Building an online collaborative database for fisheries habitat management in Southeast Asia - the South China sea meta-database

Abstract

Highlights are provided of the South China Sea Meta-Database that has recently been developed by the South China Sea project, in collaboration with the Southeast Asian Regional Learning Centre and the Southeast Asia START Regional Centre. This is a 'living' database that can be revised and updated online, providing fisheries and habitat managers with a tool they can collaboratively build and share within the region to bring fisheries and habitat management closer together.
