JNCC – UK Overseas Territories Report 3: Environmental data management and data flows in British Virgin Islands 2026

Abstract

JNCC received funding through the Conflict, Stability & Security Fund (CSSF) to provide technical assistance to the UK Overseas Territory of British Virgin Islands (BVI) to develop data management capacity. The aim of the project was to provide BVI with a self-sufficient, secure data management system and geospatial data hub for environmental spatial data.

The project, 'Environmental data management and data flows in British Virgin Islands', was delivered in three main phases:

  • Inception and stakeholder engagement.
  • Development of pilot data hub.
  • Knowledge sharing and data management protocols.

This report was produced by WSP in March 2023 and outlines a baseline set of procedures to support the management of environmental information in the British Virgin Islands. It covers three main elements:

  1. Spatial data management principles.
  2. Core indicator data workflows.
  3. Platform use and management.

This protocol is intended to be refined by BVI stakeholders as technology changes and the Government of the Virgin Islands transitions its spatial data infrastructure to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 and ArcGIS Pro. It is hoped that the document will become part of the national geospatial data policy over time.
