252_CNR-02-04-Ischia_Procida_HR

The DTM was generated from two dataset acquired around Ischia and Procida Islands (Gulf of Naples, Italy). The dataset were collected within CARG (Geological CARtography) Project  by means of the MBES system Reson SeaBat8125. The MBES was pole-mounted on a 6 meters long vessel. The MBES has 240 beams 1°x1°; the operational frequency was 455 kHz. A LandStar 12 channel DGPS system was used for ship positioning and a motion sensor Ixea Octans3000 was used to provide corrections for attitude data. A Sound Velocity Sensor was installed near the transducers  thus providing realtime sound speed for beam steering. A sound velocity profiler  Reson SVP15  was lowered through the water column every 6–8 h to get the velocity profile required for the depth computation. The bathymetric data were processed using the PDS2000 software. Data de-spiking was carried out without the application of automatic filters  in order to preserve data accuracy and resolution.

Marine Data from Northern Ireland

This dataset contains marine data from Northern Ireland, provided by the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR).
CEDaR was established in 1995 by the Ulster Museum, with the active support of the Environment and Heritage Service (DoE NI), as the Local Records Centre for Northern Ireland. The aim of CEDaR is to collect, store and disseminate information on the distribution of flora and fauna as well as geological sites within Northern Ireland and its coastal waters. It will give advice and information on how to record local flora and fauna, and provide links to local groups and societies.

CEDaR's databases currently hold more than one million species and site records, and these data are available in a number of formats for research, monitoring, conservation, education and commercial purposes.

CEDaR is supported by a strong network of amateur local recorder volunteers. To assist with the collection and collation of local environmental records, CEDaR has facilitated the establishment of the Environmental Recorders' Group. The Group comprises 40 statutory and voluntary organisations, local societies and individuals. The Group holds regular meetings and a newsletter is produced. CEDaR has also developed close working relationships with the main statutory conservation agencies throughout the British Isles. Regular seminars are hosted on aspects of environmental recording in Northern Ireland.
1999-2009 UMBSM Clyde Sea Fairlie Channel Beam Trawl Survey

To investigate the benthos biodiversity of the Fairlie Channel, in the Firth of Clyde, semi-annual beam trawl samples were taken, as part of undergraduate field courses in marine biology at the University Marine Biological Station Millport. A species list of demersal fish and epibenthos was compiled. Samples were normally taken in March/April and August/September.
A Beam trawl, deployed by UMBSM RV Aora (22m), was used to collect and sample benthos. The Beam trawl was towed at a depth of 36m for a distance of 1.4km at a speed of 2.3 knots. Trawls were approximately 15 minutes in duration. The trawl were 3m in width and 1m in height. Mesh size of the trawl net was 70mm. Once the catch was hauled on to the deck of the research vessel, a representative sample of all fauna present was collected and taken back to the laboratory at UMBSM. All other animals were returned to the sea undamaged. At the laboratory, samples were held in classroom tanks and identified to species level under the supervision of academic members of staff. Once species were identified, they were returned to the sea.

L4 Plankton Monitoring Programme

Station L4 is one of a series of hydrographic stations in the Western English Channel (English Channel References). These stations have been the basis of a series of hydrographic surveys carried out during the 20th Century by scientists at the Marine Biological Association and Plymouth Marine Laboratory in Plymouth.
Beginning in 1988, through the work of the Plymouth Marine Laboratory Zooplankton Group, a programme of weekly observations was started at L4. 

No formal research programme was proposed, the time-series exploiting the activities of the PML small boats in an opportunistic way as by-product of their other sampling activities (e.g., collection of live plankton, sea-water, trawling for fish and squid).  Over the next 20 years increasing numbers of parameters were measured at L4, including CTD, nutrients, optics, primary production as well as the fish trawl surveys carried out by the MBA.  Recently measurements of the DNA and bacterial bio-diversity have been added.  Since 2006, the phytoplankton and zooplankton series have fallen under the auspices of the Western Channel Observatory, a UK Natural Environmental Research Council funded project.
Programma de Observação para as Pescas dos Açores

Information collected by the observers on board the tuna fishing vessels on tuna fisheries, weather conditions, live bait fisheries, cetaceans, birds and sea turtles.
POPA was launched in 1998 with the main goal of certifying the tuna caught around the Azores as a "dolphin safe product". This label is attributed by the non-governmental organization Earth Island Institute to catches made without mortality of cetaceans. POPA has built an extensive database with information collected by the observers on board the tuna fishing vessels. This database includes information on tuna fisheries (e.g., location of fishing events, catches, and fishing effort), weather conditions (e.g., sea surface temperature, wind and visibility), live bait fisheries (e.g., location of fishing events, catches, gears used), cetaceans (e.g., occurrences, interaction with fishing events and association with other species), birds and sea turtles (e.g., occurrences). POPA is also responsible for "Friend of the Sea" tuna fishery certification.

In the late 1990’s, it became clear that the tuna industry would be seriously penalized with the absence of a "dolphin safe" certification which instigated new measures from the government and the fisheries sector.

In order to achieve this certification, the Azores Fisheries Observer Programme (POPA) was funded in 1998, ensuring the absence of dolphin mortality or injury in tuna fishery. Since then, fishery and fishing products are certified by the Earth Island Institute, through the results presented by POPA. Besides that, the tuna fishery is also certified as "Friend of the Sea" which means that it is extremely selective, doesn’t harm the surrounding environment and is quite sustainable. It became the first tuna fishery in the world achieving that certification. 

The Programme results from an agreement among Regional Administration, Earth Island Institute, the Tuna Canning Industry Association (Pão do Mar), the Fishing Boat Owners Association (APASA) and IMAR - Instituto do Mar - through the University of The Azores Center (IMAR-DOP/Uaç), which carries out the programme. Until 2003, the Programme was supported by regional funds. Between 2003 and 2005 it became co-financed by the European Commission through the INTERREG IIIb Programme/ ORPAM project. Since then it has been exclusively supported by the regional government through the Regional Secretary of Fisheries.
NIOZ Biodiversity data ZKO cruises 2009-2010

The fifth extensive inventory of the demersal fish fauna by NIOZ was initiated by the monitoring component of the ZKO programme, focussing on the carrying capacity of coastal zone and North Sea. This cruises were carried out accoding to the same protocols with similar equipment and at the same locations as the EMOWAD programme in 1986: bimonthly demersal fish survey were carried out in the intertidal, subtidal and tidal gullies in the Marsdiep and Vlie basin of the western Dutch Wadden Sea in 2009 and in the Marsdiep basin only in 2010. Sampling took place with rubber dinghies in the intertidal and in deeper waters with RV Navicula. All the fish were identified and measured on board. The programme lasted for two year covering 2009 and 2010.
