Mussel Dynamics - Length & Bed Depth - BC Central Coast

The mussel length & bed depth 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 size structure and bed depth of mussel beds (Mytilus californianus) 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 contiguous beds of M. californianus  in the intertidal. The beds were surveyed using quadrats placed at five plot locations, replicated through time. Within each plot, mussel length and bed depth were measured in five sublots placed at set locations. The sites were generally surveyed on a monthly basis from April to September, with winter surveys in November and February.

Spatial extent of eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds from monitoring sites within the greater park ecosystem of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (2017, 2018)

This data package contains reports and datasets pertaining to mapping the spatial extent of eelgrass (Zostera marina) at several monitoring sites within the greater park ecosystem of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. This work was a collaborative project between the Hakai Institute and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (PRNPR).  

Monitoring sites were mapped using a small Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) (DJI Phantom Pro 3) during summer low tides in 2017 and 2018. Orthomosaics of each site were created using a Structure from Motion Multi-View Stereo (SfM-MVS) workflow within Pix4Dmapper software (Version 2.1.61, Pix4D) in Windows 10. For the 2017 survey, ground control points were collected for georeferencing the orthomosaics. This was not done in 2018 due to time limitations (please see reports for more details). The extent of eelgrass at each site was delineated using object-based image analysis (OBIA) with eCognition Developer software (eCognition Developer 9, 2014) and manual delineation (where necessary). Georeferenced towed underwater video (SplashCam Pro) data were collected at eelgrass monitoring sites during high tide to provide ground-truth data for the aerial analysis and delineation of eelgrass. 
The data package includes:

Temporal coverage: July 2017 (Broken Group Unit region) and May 2018 (Long Beach Unit region)
 
This data package is a component of the Hakai Institute’s Habitat Mapping program. The overarching objective of the Hakai Habitat Mapping program is to generate spatial inventories of coastal habitats, investigate how these habitats are changing through time and the drivers of that change.

The Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in year 1998 by the four Atlantic regions of Fisheries and Oceans Canada to collect and analyze the biological, chemical, and physical oceanographic field data to characterize and understand the causes of oceanic variability at various time scales, provide multidisciplinary datasets to establish relationships among variables, and provide adequate data to support the development of ocean activities. Ocean gliders were first acquired by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in year 2017 and 2018 for both the West and East coasts. On the East coast, they have been used to monitor hydrographic sections associated with the AZMP. Here, the AZMP Halifax line is occupied from outside the mouth of Halifax harbor, Nova Scotia Canada at (44.267N, 63.317W) in the off-shelf direction approximately 135 nautical miles to deep waters off the continental slope at (42.475N, 61.433W).

Seascape connectivity data from a sub-tidal Zostera marina meadow, Choked Passage, Calvert Island, 2015

This dataset was used to determine how seascape connectivity alters the nursery function of seagrass (Zostera marina) meadows for young-of-the-year (YOY) rockfish. Here, the influence of seascape connectivity was assessed via the configuration and composition of adjacent habitats (kelp forests, sand), as well as allochthonous subsidies entering the seagrass food web.

Data was collected in an extensive, sub-tidal Z. marina meadow in Choked Passage, on the Central Coast of British Columbia (51.675 °N, -128.119 °W) . The dataset includes seagrass habitat data and associated community-level data from underwater visual observations (SCUBA, snorkel) and seagrass shoot collection data. These observations were recorded at transect and quadrat levels, across multiple seagrass site types: meadow interior, Nereocystis luetkeana kelp edge, and sand edge. Fish and primary producer stable isotopes were measured using mass spectrometry, and are also included here. Specifically, this dataset combines:

-	Z. marina habitat variables (e.g., shoot density, canopy height)
-	Z. marina shoot biomass
-	Transect-level fish abundances  in seagrass meadow, N. luetkeana kelp forests, and sand habitats
-	Shoot-level amphipod biomass
-	δ13C and δ15N stable isotope values for YOY Copper-Quillback rockfish and dominant primary producers
-	C:N values of YOY Copper-Quillback rockfish
Stomach contents (i.e., prey) of YOY Copper-Quillback rockfish

Pacific Northwest Eelgrass Sediment Carbon Data

This dataset accompanies a manuscript entitled “A synthesis of blue carbon stocks, sources and accumulation rates in eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows in the Northeast Pacific”, in Global Biogeochemical Cycles. See the article at https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GB006345 These data provide estimates of sediment carbon stocks, organic carbon accumulation rates and sources of carbon in sixteen intertidal and subtidal Zostera marina meadows, spanning from Southeast Alaska to Southern Oregon. Data were compiled from seven independent studies conducted between 2013 and 2017, including published manuscripts, graduate/academic theses, and unpublished values. While the studies varied slightly in their objectives and scope, all studies had a common goal of quantifying carbon stocks, sequestration rates, and sources of stored carbon in Z. marina meadows to fill regional data gaps for this species in the Pacific Northwest.

At all sites, cores were collected by manually inserting PVC tubes into the sediment. Cores were either taken at a predetermined depth (e.g., 30cm) or inserted to the point of refusal. Intertidal cores were collected during low tides, while subtidal cores were collected by SCUBA divers. The number of cores from vegetated and unvegetated sediments, tidal height average core depth, and the sampling period varied among sites and regions. Lab analyses were conducted to quantify sediment characteristics such as % organic carbon (OC), % organic matter, % inorganic carbon, OC stocks, OC accumulation rates, and carbon (δ13) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values. Details of field and laboratory methods are included in the manuscript.

The dataset includes six csv files which contain: (1) eelgrass sediment carbon values, (2) organic carbon accumulation rates and accretion rates, (3) sediment δ13C and δ15N isotope values, (4) quantitative sediment grain size data, (5) qualitative sediment grain size data, (6) data used to create the % organic matter vs. % organic carbon regression equation used in the manuscript.
