Surfgrass Communities - Motile Invertebrate Surveys - BC Central Coast

The surfgrass motile invertebrate 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 motile invertebrate community was assessed at three coastal sites along the northwest edge of Calvert Island on the central coast of British Columbia, beginning in 2018. All sites were exposed rocky shorelines with beds of Surfgrass (Phyllospadix spp) growing in the low intertidal. The abundance and diversity of the motile invertebrate community was surveyed in these beds using transects and quadrats. The placement and length of the transect was replicated through time, quadrat placement was not. Counts or percent cover were recorded for mobile invertebrates within quadrats placed along a surfgrass bed transect .

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.

Time series of eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadow extent derived from drone surveys, Central Coast, British Columbia

This data package represents a time series of eelgrass (*Zostera marina*) meadow extent derived from remotely piloted aerial system (RPAS or drone) surveys, along with relevant metadata. RPAS surveys are conducted annually at long-term monitoring sites on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada. These data are collected as part of the Hakai Institute Habitat Mapping Program, whose broader goal is to document and understand long-term trends in eelgrass meadow dynamics and drivers at local, regional, and coast-wide scales. The Hakai Institute started using drones in 2015 as part of this work in order to capture site-level data on eelgrass distribution for long-term ecological research.

Drone surveys are conducted annually during morning low tides (<0.5 m) and collect RGB (red-green-blue) imagery. Eelgrass extent is derived from drone-derived orthomosaics using a combination of object-based image analysis (OBIA) in eCognition Developer 9 and manual delineation in ArcMap (v10.8). Segmentation outputs are classified by a trained analyst and reviewed by a second analyst. A minimum mapping unit of 2 m² for minimum patch size. Areal extent (m²) data are provided as vector features in NAD83 UTM Zone 9N clipped to each site area of interest (AOI) to ensure the same areas are compared over time and then published to a geodatabase.
 
This data package includes a geodatabase which contains:
 - Polygon vector features of eelgrass meadow extent (.gdb)
 - Polygon vector features of the area of interest (AOI) of each monitoring site (.gdb)
 - A documents (.pdf) which describes site locations, methods for imagery collection, generating orthomosaics, and delineating eelgrass extent
 - A data dictionary (.csv) which describes the attributes of the polygon vector features

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.

This dataset includes continuous sea surface measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), sea surface temperature and salinity collected from Hakai Institute Quadra Island Field Station in Hyacinthe Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Quadra Island, at the northern terminus of the Salish Sea, has been a site for shore-based and high-resolution measurement of surface seawater CO2 content since December 2014. Measurements of in situ temperature, salinity, and CO2 partial pressure are made near-continuously on seawater drawn from a sample line with an intake 50 m from shore and a depth of 1 m in Hyacinthe Bay on the eastern side of Quadra Island. 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.
