Welcome to the Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) Project Registry. This registry contains information about ecosystem-based management and related projects intended to advance the science and practice of conservation and resource management, especially in coastal marine systems. Information entered into the registry will be accessible to other members of the global community of researchers and practitioners through the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity, an international data repository.

We have designed the registry to be as flexible as possible to different types of projects. Accordingly, not all fields in the registry may be applicable to your project. Most fields are not required. If you currently are collecting data (ecological or socioeconomic) as part of your project, or if you anticipate collecting data in the future, the registry will facilitate documentation of that information. Entering information about data associated with the project will assist other members of the EBM and conservation community in identifying ways to collaborate more effectively.

If you have any questions or comments about the project registry, please contact the registry administrator at ebm-help@nceas.ucsb.edu. If you have questions or comments about the ecosystem-based management program at NCEAS, please contact fleishman@nceas.ucsb.edu.

Morpho Software Butterfly

Use Morpho software to register, document and upload data sets.

Morpho is a data management tool for ecologists. It was created to provide an easy-to-use, cross-platform application for accessing and manipulating metadata (e.g. documentation) and data (both locally and on the network). Morpho allows ecologists to create metadata, (i.e. describe their data in a standardized format), and create a catalog of data and metadata upon which to query, edit and view data collections. In addition, Morpho provides the means to access network servers, in order to query, view and retrieve relevant, public ecological data!

This repository is an effort of the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) and is based on software developed by the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB), and houses metadata that are compliant with Ecological Metadata Language (EML).
