UKDMOS, or the United Kingdom Directory of Marine Observing Systems, is a program that has been set up in order to create a database of when, where and what is currently being monitored in the marine environment across the UK.
The project means building upon an already existing database, the European Directory of Ocean Observing Systems, and aims to inform policy makers and organisations of their responsibilities regarding monitoring, identify where and how resources may be put to better use and analyse whether data from the UK will be sufficient to provide decent assessments of the marine environment at national and international levels.
The database can be used to search current projects going on worldwide, and gain more information about their status.
