Abstract

Geoportals have been employed to generate integrated information and support research and decisions on the sustainable development and preservation of natural resources. They provide a substantial contribution to the monitoring and management of biodiversity, ecosystems functionality, and global health.

Here, we provide an overview of the potential application of geoportals linked to Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to support stakeholders in marine science and facilitate the establishment of new geoportals for marine data.

We analysed 147 geoportals and most of them were mainly equipped for global-scale processing. We noted an important increase of interest towards geoportals: from 710 in September 2005 to 1469 in October 2024. The European and Asiatic countries resulted the most representative regions increasing geoportal numbers and related queries.

The continuous development, use, and improvement of geoportals will consistently support the decision-making process in MSP. Geoportals that are easy to access and query, and following the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data principles will substantially contribute to the exploration of the undiscovered parts of our planet, ensuring tools aimed to the safety of the oceans from hazards and climate changes, to sustainable ecosystem services (eg. energy and food consumption) and to effectively manage the ocean space.

海洋空间规划中的地理门户：技术现状与未来展望

地理门户网站已被用于生成综合信息，支持有关自然资源可持续发展和保护的研究和决策。在此，我们概述了与海洋空间规划（MSP）相关联的地理门户网站的潜在应用，以支持海洋科学领域的利益相关者，并促进建立新的海洋数据地理门户网站。我们分析了 147 个地理门户网站，其中大多数主要用于全球范围的处理。我们注意到对地理门户网站的兴趣显著增加：从 2005 年 9 月的 710 个增加到 2024 年 10 月的 1469 个。欧洲和亚洲国家是地理门户网站数量和相关查询量增长最快的代表性地区。地理门户网站易于访问和查询，并遵循 FAIR（可查找、可访问、可互操作和可重复使用）数据原则，将极大地促进对地球上未被发现部分的探索，确保海洋安全免受危害和气候变化的影响，提供可持续的生态系统服务（如能源和粮食消费），并有效地管理海洋空间。

期刊介绍： Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels. We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts. Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
