Share a dataset
Do you have data worth sharing?
Regeneration doesn't mean much without the data to prove it. But what data to collect, when, where and how is a hotly debated subject. There are many methods, technologies and data platforms, from low-tech to highly complex. You can learn more about why monitoring matters in our Lesson #8: Monitoring Your Farm.
From this page, you can access our CoolBlueFuture community on Zenodo.
The community is a selection of voluntarily uploaded datasets by regenerative ocean farmers. The plan is to use these to eventually make a map of cultivation sites. That way, we can build an international picture of where ocean regeneration is taking place, while tracking its impact over time.
Once we know what's being monitored and how, methods and equipment can be standardised to make the data cross-comparable. This is how we aim to measure regeneration and its impacts on both ecology and local economies in the years to come.
Case study: Plants Beyond Land (PEBL)
Plants Beyond Land (PEBL) is a British community interest company (similar to a non-profit cooperative) which developes low-tech, accessible monitoring equipment and services for regenerative ocean farmers.
Their mission is to empower all marine operators with data that provide actionable insights, deepen scientific understanding and ultimately safeguard ecosystems. They achieve this with a range of robust, cost-effective and user-friendly monitoring tools.
