Argo Float Data and Metadata from Global Data Assembly Centre (Argo GDAC)

Argo is a global array of 3,000 free-drifting profiling floats that measures the temperature and salinity of the upper 2000 m of the ocean. This allows, for the first time, continuous monitoring of the temperature, salinity, and velocity of the upper ocean, with all data being relayed and made publicly available within hours after collection. The array provides 100,000 temperature/salinity profiles and velocity measurements per year distributed over the global oceans at an average of 3-degree spacing. Some floats provide additional bio-geo parameters such as oxygen or chlorophyll. All data collected by Argo floats are publically available in near real-time via the Global Data Assembly Centers (GDACs) in Brest (France) and Monterey (California) after an automated quality control (QC), and in scientifically quality controlled form, delayed mode data, via the GDACs within six months of collection.

Spatial extent of surface canopy kelp derived from fixed-wing surveys (2024), North Coast, British Columbia, Canada

This data package consists of digitized surface canopy extent for two species of canopy forming kelp – giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) – for several areas on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada. These data were collected in partnership between Marine Plan Partnership for the North Pacific Coast (MaPP) and the Hakai Institute as part of the MaPP Regional Kelp Monitoring Program (RKMP). 

Spatial datasets of kelp canopy were derived from high resolution aerial imagery (10 cm) collected from fixed-wing aerial surveys flown on July 6th and 7th, 2024. The survey regions included (1) Ryan Point to Duncan Bay, (2) Stephens and Prescott Island, (3) north west Porcher Island and (4) south west Porcher Island. Survey windows for imagery collection were considered based on obtaining imagery during maximum kelp extent and during a low tide cycle therefore survey windows were planned between July through September during tides of less than +2.0 m (mean low low water).

Imagery Capture: Four-band imagery (red-green-blue-near infrared) was collected using two high resolution cameras aboard the Aerial Coastal Observatory (a fixed-wing aircraft). Imagery collection and orthomosaic processing is described in associated reports linked in this record.
Kelp delineation: Surface kelp canopy is represented by polygons which were digitized using the Hakai Institute KelpOMatic AI tool. Datasets were reviewed by a expert analyst for quality analysis/quality control purposes.  

The data package includes:

- The ACO metadata report (.pdf) which describe the system used to acquire and process imagery. 
- Polygon shapefiles (.shp) of the extent of kelp canopy at each monitoring site by year.

Coordinate system used: NAD1983 UTM Zone 9N

This data package is a component of the MaPP Regional Kelp Monitoring Program (RKMP) whose goals (among many) are to monitor the extent and condition of kelp forests across all four sub-regions in recognition of kelp’s ecological, cultural and economic importance. 

This data was collected for the purpose of deriving datasets on the distribution of kelp. Data collected as part of the Hakai-MaPP kelp mapping partnership will be co-managed by both groups. Permission to use these data is required by Hakai and the MaPP North Coast member First Nations (Gitga'at, Gitxaała, Haisla, Kitselas, Kitsumkalum, and Metlakatla). Contact Luba Reshitnyk (luba@hakai.org) or data@hakai.org for more information about data access and opportunities to collaborate with the Hakai Institute. Contact Sarah Schroeder (sschroeder@mappocean.org) and North Coast (northcoast_metadata@mappocean.org) for more information about data access to and opportunities to collaborate with MaPP.

iTrack Oysters February 2023 Experiment - Environmental and Oyster Health Data

This data package is a component of the Hakai Institute’s Marna Wet Lab and Caren Helbing (University of Victoria, UVic) collaborative iTrack project investigating environmental effects on eDNA and eRNA. Hakai Institute's Marna Wet Lab experimental research program uses laboratory experiments to evaluate marine organisms' responses to simulated current and future ocean environmental conditions. The overarching objective of Hakai Wet Lab experimental research is to investigate the mechanisms of vulnerability and resilience of a variety of marine species and communities under static or dynamic future environmental conditions, and understand how organisms are responding phenotypically, physiologically and/or genomically to thermal and acidification stress.

This experiment was part one of a series of mesocosm experiments and took place at the Marna Wet Lab at Hakai’s Quadra Island Ecological Observatory February 22-27, 2023. The purpose of this experiment was to investigate eDNA and eRNA production and degradation under different pCO2 conditions. Adult Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were chosen as model organism and exposed to various pCO2 treatments (520 µatm, 950 µatm, and 1200 µatm) under constant temperature (10C). eDNA and eRNA samples were collected while oysters were present (Production phase) and after oysters were removed (Degradation phase). A subsample of oysters from each tank were destructively sampled for weight, size, condition/health and gill and gonad RNA at the end of the experiment.

This data package contains the mesocosm temperature and carbonate chemistry data and oyster health data only and will be available upon request until the manuscript has been accepted at which time the data will be made publicly available. 

In light of the effort required to obtain these data and create data packages, we request all data users that, in addition to following the CC-BY license terms, they give attribution to the data providers and follow fair use guidelines: 1) respect the data providers, and provide helpful feedback on data quality, and 2) communicate and/or collaborate with Hakai Marna Wet Lab researchers and collaborators if you are considering using this dataset for manuscripts or other forms of reporting.
