This dataset accompanies a manuscript entitled “A synthesis of blue carbon stocks, sources and accumulation rates in eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows in the Northeast Pacific”, in Global Biogeochemical Cycles. See the article at https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GB006345 These data provide estimates of sediment carbon stocks, organic carbon accumulation rates and sources of carbon in sixteen intertidal and subtidal Zostera marina meadows, spanning from Southeast Alaska to Southern Oregon. Data were compiled from seven independent studies conducted between 2013 and 2017, including published manuscripts, graduate/academic theses, and unpublished values. While the studies varied slightly in their objectives and scope, all studies had a common goal of quantifying carbon stocks, sequestration rates, and sources of stored carbon in Z. marina meadows to fill regional data gaps for this species in the Pacific Northwest.

At all sites, cores were collected by manually inserting PVC tubes into the sediment. Cores were either taken at a predetermined depth (e.g., 30cm) or inserted to the point of refusal. Intertidal cores were collected during low tides, while subtidal cores were collected by SCUBA divers. The number of cores from vegetated and unvegetated sediments, tidal height average core depth, and the sampling period varied among sites and regions. Lab analyses were conducted to quantify sediment characteristics such as % organic carbon (OC), % organic matter, % inorganic carbon, OC stocks, OC accumulation rates, and carbon (δ13) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values. Details of field and laboratory methods are included in the manuscript.

The dataset includes six csv files which contain: (1) eelgrass sediment carbon values, (2) organic carbon accumulation rates and accretion rates, (3) sediment δ13C and δ15N isotope values, (4) quantitative sediment grain size data, (5) qualitative sediment grain size data, (6) data used to create the % organic matter vs. % organic carbon regression equation used in the manuscript.

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.

Each summer, environmental groups collect data to determine if groupings of fish, shrimp and crab – what is called a community – can be used as an indicator of the health status of bays and estuaries. Sampling was conducted from May through September for the first years then from June through August. Data for the years 2004 to 2019 are available. In 2018 and 2019, the sampling was conducted just once in each estuary. Community group members and staff sample six stations once a month in their designated estuary. 

Fish, shrimps and crabs are collected with a beach seine net and later released live back to the water once identified and counted. From this, the community groups provide important information to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, including:

- identification and numbers of fish, shrimp and crab species
- water conditions and samples
- information on aquatic plants
- sediment samples

With this information, Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientists working with government agencies and Universities can conduct analyses to determine the suitability of indicators to assess the health of bays and estuaries.

The floristic inventory of the marshes located in the Betsiamites River estuary was carried out as part of the draft action plan for the development and conservation of the Betsiamites River estuary (east bank). The purpose of the inventory is to better understand the flora of the Betsiamites River estuary for better consideration in the development of the Betsiamites River estuary action plan. 

This report therefore provides a summary of the floristic knowledge of this critical habitat. It includes the method used, a synthesis of existing knowledge, a description of the plant groups identified, and recommendations.

Acoustic monitoring in NW Pacific Ocean. Slocum gliders are small, free-swimming, unmanned vehicles that use changes in buoyancy to move vertically and horizontally through the water column in a saw-tooth pattern. They are deployed for days to several months and gather detailed information about the physical, chemical and biological processes of the world's oceans. The Slocum glider was designed and built by Teledyne Webb Research Corporation, Falmouth, MA, USA.

This data set contains the zooplankton data collected using paired bongo tows from the R/V TINRO, NOAA Bell M. Shimada and F/V Northwest Explorer from February 2 - April 18, 2022 in the North Pacific Ocean. The paired bongo nets (60 cm in diameter, 253 micron mesh size) were deployed to a depth of approximately 250 m and retrieved vertically at 1 m s-1. Collected data are used to offer insights in zooplankton community composition, density and distribution. After the bongo net deployment and recovery, the net was rinsed down into the cod end. Volume of sea water filtered was determined using flowmeters. This dataset includes samples that were preserved in formalin. These samples were enumerated and identified to the lowest taxonomic rank possible or practical. Abundance (individuals per cubic meter) was recorded by species, lifestage, sex and size (range).

The comité ZIP carried out a biophysical characterization of the Baie de Kamouraska in 2012. This area shows particularities, particularly in the marsh, which shows signs of erosion and the presence of aboiteau (dike), which conditions the drainage of agricultural land and the evolution of the marsh. 

An inventory of flora and avian fauna was carried out. A coastal characterization, including the state of the coast, was carried out, as well as a historical analysis of the evolution of the coast from 1961 to 2012. Recommendations and examples on renaturalizing diked areas (depolderization) have been proposed.

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.
