Survey : HUXL/32/1904 (part of CEFAS Historic surveys)

This survey was undertaken by Cefas as part of the CEFAS Historic surveys;

Station and biological data collected during research surveys carried out by 
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) in seas around the UK, mostly in the 
North Sea, since 1902. The survey hauls are not laid out systematically as a 
grid, as in current International Bottom Trawl Surveys (IBTS) and are widely 
distributed over (especially) southern and central North Sea areas. Gears and 
protocols were not standardised throughout, due to the long term nature of the 
series. Surveys took place in each season. Data are lacking for the periods of 
both World Wars. In some periods (e.g. the early 1900s), all species caught 
were recorded, whereas in other periods (e.g. 1920s-30s), only the key 
commercial species (e.g., Plaice, Sole and Cod) were recorded systematically. 
Note that some surveys targeted particular species (notably Plaice).

Survey took place between 01/06/1904 and 11/06/1904 on Huxley

Equipment used during this survey :


-   Lowestoft smack beam trawl 43ft 13.1m

Survey operations were undertaken on 5 stations

Regional Seabed Monitoring Plan (RSMP) Baseline Dataset 2014-2016

This dataset was compiled for the Regional Seabed Monitoring Plan (RSMP) 
baseline assessment reported in Cooper & Barry (2017). The dataset comprises 
of 33,198 macrofaunal samples (83 percent with associated data on sediment 
particle size composition) covering large parts of the UK continental shelf. 
Whilst most samples come from existing datasets, also included are 2,500 new 
samples collected specifically for the purpose of this study. These new 
samples were collected during 2014-2016 from the main English aggregate 
dredging regions (Humber, Anglian, Thames, Eastern English Channel and South 
Coast) and at four individual, isolated extraction sites where the RSMP 
methodology is also being adopted (e.g. Area 457, North-West dredging region; 
Area 392, North-West dredging region; Area 376, Bristol Channel dredging 
region; Goodwin Sands, English Channel). This work was funded by the 
aggregates industry, and carried out by contractors on their behalf. Samples 
were collected in accordance with a detailed protocols document which included 
control measures to ensure the quality of faunal and sediment sample 
processing. Additional samples were acquired to fill in gaps in spatial 
coverage and to provide a contemporary baseline for sediment composition. 
Sources of existing data include both government and industry, with 
contributions from the marine aggregate dredging, offshore wind, oil and gas, 
nuclear and port and harbour sectors. Samples have been collected over a 
period of 48 years from 1969 to 2016, although the vast majority (96%) were 
acquired since 2000. Samples have been collected during every month of the 
year, although there is a clear peak during summer months when weather 
conditions are generally more favourable for fieldwork. Reference: Cooper,

CLiP Belize Marine Litter Abundance and Composition 2019

This dataset contains 2 csv files. The file Belize_Marine_Litter_Data.csv 
contains data on litter found on marine beaches, river banks and along city 
canals in Belize between May and June 2019. The number of items and the 
weight in kg is reported for each litter category. The list of litter 
categories was obtain merging OSPAR and Tangaroa Blue protocols with the 
addition of region-specific items. Item categories marked with '*' were added 
during the operations in South Pacific, while item categories marked with '**' 
were added during the operations in Belize. An array of metadata (location 
names, survey date, GPS coordinates in decimal degrees) is also reported per 
each data point. 

The file Belize_Marine_Litter_Metadata.csv reports other metadata 
collected during the surveys following the OSPAR protocol to describe 
factors potentially influencing litter characteristics. A READ-ME text file 
contains a legend of the columns of the csv files.

Trials with a Modified Commercial Trawl 2010/11 - Fisheries Science Partnership

To learn more about the behaviour of cod and other fish as they enter the net 
by modifying a standard NE coast trawl to hold two separator panels running 
the entire length of the net. A series of hauls will be undertaken to see 
where cod and the other fish are captured in the net. This will lead to better 
designs of cod-avoidance gears.

Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 10 - Citizen Science Diver Recorded Temperatures

This dataset has been extracted as part of an exercise to assemble "all" Cefas 
Temperature Data and publish it in a Data paper. It is one of 17 Cefas data 
sources assembled.

This data source differs from the others in this collection because it arises 
from an investigation into the potential for Citizen Science to contribute to 
assessments of the marine environment. The dataset is derived from a database 
containing over 7,000 records of temperature data collected from temperature 
compensated dive computers. The lowest temperature is recorded from the 
thermal sensor. The unprocessed data were then subjected to a quality control 
process that compared the temperature with the relevant sea surface 
temperature (obtained from OSTIA – Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea 
Ice Analysis – 
`http://ghrsst–pp.metoffice.com/pages/latest_analysis/ostia.html`_).

There was a linear correlation between the sea surface temperature and the 
recorded temperature at depth. Values exceeding a specified difference from 
the surface temperature (5°C) were excluded. This resulted in a quality 
assured dataset of just over 5,000 records (including freshwater and lake 
data). The subset of global dataset provided covers the UK shelf.

The 5°C threshold is derived from previous analyses of the performance of dive 
computers.
