Time series of surface kelp canopy area derived from remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS, or drone) surveys, Central Coast, British Columbia

This data package represents a time series of canopy area of giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera, and bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana, derived from remotely piloted aerial system (RPAS or drones) surveys, along with relevant metadata. The kelp canopy is composed of the portions of fronds, stipes and blades floating on the surface of the water. RPAS surveys are conducted annually at long-term monitoring sites surveyed by the Hakai Institute 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 of kelp forests 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 kelp forest distribution for long-term ecological research. 

Drone surveys are conducted annually in July/August during low tide (<1.5 m, chart datum) and collect RGB (red-green-blue) imagery. Canopy area is derived from drone-derived orthomosaics using a machine learning tool, the Kelp-O-Matic, which automates the detection of extent of kelp canopy area present in high-resolution orthomosaics. Areal data are classified to species level. Outputs are reviewed by a trained analyst. Canopy area (m2) data are provided as vector features (shapefiles) in NAD83 UTM Zone 9 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 includes:
- Polygon vector features of canopy kelp 
- Polygon vector features of the area of interest (AOI) of each monitoring site
- A metadata report (.pdf) which describes methods for imagery collection, generating orthomosaics and delineating kelp extent.
- Data dictionary (spreadsheet) which describes the attributes of the polygon vector features for canopy kelp.

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.

Salmon Diet data from the 2019 Gulf of Alaska International Year of the Salmon Expedition

This dataset contains salmon stomach content data collected in the Northeast Pacific Ocean during February and March 2019. These data were collected as part of the International Year of the Salmon (IYS) High Seas Expedition, to further improve the understanding of factors impacting salmon early marine winter survival. Salmon were caught with a midwater trawl at 48 of the 58 stations fished. Stomach analysis to examine salmon diet was conducted on all salmon captured (n=425) during the survey. Preliminary analysis indicated that key diet categories by volume included euphausiids, pteropods, larval fish, and squid. Stomach contents have been preserved (frozen) and will undergo additional analysis in laboratories in Canada and the US. Individual stomach content was identified to the lowest taxonomic rank possible, and weighted to the nearest 0.01 gram. Additionally, the gut fullness index (GFI) was derived.
