Aerial Photo Mosaics of the Coasts of Quebec (2015-2024)

The project of aerial photography acquisition and mosaics construction aims a better understanding of the eelgrass beds extends on the Quebec coasts. These mosaics will allow us to segment the images in order to create polygons of the extent of the eelgrass and thus monitor its growth over time.  
The photos captured vertically following the flight lines previously provided by the DFO were georeferenced and orthorectified with a ground resolution of 30 cm. The digital multispectral camera was placed on an aircraft at a constant altitude for the duration of the flight, to obtain a swath of at least 4 km on the ground. An overlap of 60% to 80% was requested in order to optimize the image during mosaicking.  
Certain environmental criteria had to be respected to ensure images homogeneity. Shooting had to follow low tide as closely as possible, and be synchronized with the period of the day when the sun's elevation angle was greater than 25 degrees. Wind speed had to be less than 20 km/h, waves less than 1 meter high, and there had to be no cloud cover or fog under the aircraft.  Water turbidity had to be taken into account to ensure identification of eelgrass beds in the water. These flights were carried out to coincide with the eelgrass growth period.  
Subsequently, the mosaics were created in ArcGis, taking care to select the right order of images to minimize specular reflection.

High-resolution record of CO2 content from October 2013 to December 2018 measured in seawater entering the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery in Seward, Alaska, USA

The Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery in Seward, Alaska has been a site for shore-based and high-resolution measurement of seawater CO2 content since October 2013. Measurements of temperature, salinity, and CO2 partial pressure are made near-continuously from a seawater sample line with an intake 100 m from the hatchery and at a depth of 75 m in Resurrection Bay. The effort to collect these data is a collaboration between the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery and the Hakai Institute with support from the Alaska Ocean Observing System via the project “Turning the Headlights on ‘High’: Improving an Ocean Acidification Observing System in Support of Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers” (http://www.nanoos.org/documents/announcements/msi-announcement-oa.pdf) that was jointly funded by IOOS and NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program. CO2 data were collected using either a Sunburst Sensors SUPERCO2 system (October 13, 2013 to August 5, 2014) or a Burke-o-Lator pCO2/TCO2 analyzer (August 15, 2014 to December 20, 2018). Temperature and salinity data were collected using a Sea-Bird SBE 45 MicroTSG Thermosalinograph. The collection and analysis of these data are part of the Hakai Institute’s directive to advance the understanding of carbon cycling in northeast Pacific coastal settings with specific emphasis on ocean acidification.

Water column CO2 system measurements collected during the 2016 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration West Coast Ocean Acidification survey (NOAA WCOA2016) from California to British Columbia

Carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) and total dissolved inorganic carbon (TCO2) measurements were made on seawater collected from 12 depths at select stations occupied during the 2016 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration West Coast Ocean Acidification survey (NOAA WCOA2016) from California to British Columbia. NOAA cruise data collected during this survey are available from the National Centers for Environmental Information (https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/ocads/oceans/Coastal/WCOA.html). Hakai Institute staff (Evans) collected data only during the second leg of the survey from May 24 to June 7. Information describing the cruise plan and cruise blog can be found on the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) website (https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/2016+West+Coast+Ocean+Acidification+Cruise). Seawater sampling during this cruise was conducted using a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiler coupled with a 24-Niskin (11-L) bottle rosette. Seawater collection was concentrated in the upper 200 m at standard depths: 3 m, 10 m, 20 m, 30 m, 50 m, 80 m, 100 m, 125 m, 150 m, and 200 m. Two additional deeper depths were sampled when the water column exceeded 200 m. Additional shallow depths were sampled at the Hakai Institute’s oceanographic station QU39 (http://dx.doi.org/10.21966/1.715738). Samples were drawn from the Niskin bottles with care not to introduce bubbles into 350 mL amber glass bottles using silicone tubing, and left with 3 mL of headspace. Samples were then fixed with 200 µL of mercuric chloride and crimp-sealed with polyethylene-lined metal caps. Samples were stored in the dark and at room temperature until analysis on the Hakai Institute’s Burke-o-Lator (BoL). For detailed protocols on data processing including CO2 system determination, and quality assurance, please see Pocock et al. (2017; http://dx.doi.org/10.21966/1.521066). Final CO2 system parameters (pHT, pCO2, and aragonite saturature state) were computed using (primary) CTD temperature and salinity, and BoL determined total CO2 (TCO2) corrected using certified reference materials and alkalinity (Alk) using the carbonic acid dissociation constants of Lueker et al. (2000). Calculations were done relative to in situ pressure. Note Alk here is assumed here to consist of carbonate, bicarbonate, borate, hydroxide, and hydrogen ions; neglecting the influence of nutrients and organic acids. The effort to collect these data are part of the Hakai Institute’s directive to advance the understanding of carbon cycling in northeast Pacific coastal settings with specific emphasis on ocean acidification.

Surfgrass Community Structure - Length & Density - BC Central Coast

The surfgrass length & density dataset is a component of the Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program, designed to capture change in rocky intertidal habitats. The overarching objective of Hakai Nearshore research is to investigate the role of habitats and their associated communities, in the face of stress and disturbances from global climate change and local coastal perturbations. 

The structure, health, and coverage of surfgrass beds (Phyllospadix spp.) was surveyed at three sites along the northwestern coast of Calvert Island on the central coast of BC. All three sites were exposed rocky shores with large beds of surfgrass growing in the low intertidal. The beds were surveyed using a point-intercept method with quadrats placed along a single transect. The placement and length of the transect was replicated through time, quadrat placement was not. Various parameters (e.g., average length, shoot density, epiphyte cover) of the surfgrass were assessed at the transect and/or quadrat level. The sites were generally surveyed on a monthly basis from April to September, with winter surveys in November and February. 

This data package is freely available to everyone, following the principles of equitable access and benefit sharing. However, we expect all data users to give attribution to the data providers (read our data license) and the use of these data should happen in the light of fair use, i.e.: 1) respect the data providers, and provide helpful feedback on data quality, and 2) communicate and/or collaborate with the providers if you are considering using this dataset for manuscripts or other forms of reporting.
