The JCDP encourages data collectors to come together to make high quality standardised data more readily available via the JCDP Data Portal and enable development of open access data products to better inform research. The project has produced an agreed Data Standard and created a dedicated online portal to host cetacean survey data collected from vessel and aerial platforms, as well as a number of key data products that will be developed from the data.

Historically, collated datasets were licenced for use for the specific projects or analysis for which they were requested and could not be used for future work without additional permission from the data owners or providers. There was a need to work with data providers in finding a solution to this barrier by storing these collated data in a standardised format long-term, and making them available for continued use to improve the capacity for analysing and better understanding cetaceans in the northeast Atlantic. Addressing this need has been the driver behind the JCDP, which aims to provide a platform for collation, standardisation, storage, and access of cetacean data collected at sea via ship-based or aerial observer and digital surveys. It is a growing resource that will enable best use of all available comparable data from which to carry out analyses at relevant spatial and temporal scales to inform cetacean management, policy and conservation. More information is available on the JCDP Information Portal: www.jncc.gov.uk/JCDP The datasets available in the JCDP are standardised versions of original datasets held by the data owner/custodian. Please see metadata records for each dataset for specific details. The JCDP data standard is a MEDIN endorsed data standard which also follows a specific collection method as provided by JCDP, see https://data.jncc.gov.uk/data/1b35ddf6-c469-4bf8-8300-86ec21da1c2d/jcdp-data-collection-guidance-v1-0.pdf
