MEDIN are delivering data through a network of accredited Data Archive Centres (DACS). The network is there to provide secure long-term storage of and access to marine data. Marine data encompasses a wide range of data types and usages and MEDIN is committed to providing as comprehensive a coverage as possible. New DACS are being considered in Marine Fisheries and Marine Historic Landscapes.
The DACS listed below have all been through the accreditation process and their data holdings are provided through the MEDIN portal.
