The influence of atmospheric cold fronts on larval supply and settlement of intertidal invertebrates: Case studies in the Cabo Frio coastal upwelling system (SE Brazil), Journal of Sea Research, Volume 137, 2018, Pages 47-56,

Abstract
Atmospheric fronts such as cold fronts are dynamic mesoscale systems with potential effects on the ecology of marine communities. In this study, larval dynamics in subtropical rocky shore communities were evaluated under the influence of atmospheric frontal systems. The hypothesis is that these systems may promote favorable conditions for larval supply and settlement regardless of taxa or site, and that supply and settlement vary in association with fluctuations of meteorological and oceanographic conditions driven by the fronts. This study was carried out in the Southeastern Brazil littoral region under the influence of coastal upwelling events (Cabo Frio) and subject to weekly atmospheric frontal systems, cold polar fronts. The spatial and temporal variability of larvae and settlers of barnacles and mussels were assessed by collecting daily samples at three sites before, during and after atmospheric cold fronts, and the atmospheric and pelagic conditions were monitored. Contrasts among rates, events and sites were tested using discriminant function analysis, analyses of variance and correlation analysis. Atmospheric frontal systems were considered to influence the sites when wind direction changed to SW-S-SE and persisted for at least a day, and waves from SW-SW-SE increased in height. The results corroborate the hypothesis that cold fronts are important regulators of larval dynamics and intertidal communities on rocky shores of the studied area. Both larval supply and settlement were highly correlated with fluctuations in wind speed and direction. Higher settlement rates of barnacles occurred one-day prior, or on the onset of cold fronts. Mussels species tended to settle during all conditions, but on average, settlement rates were higher during the cold fronts. Some temporal trends were site specific and variability was detected among taxa and larval stages. Our findings suggest that mesoscale oceanographic/atmospheric systems are particularly relevant on the regulation and potentially forecasting of rocky shore invertebrates' ecology.

Abstract:
We examined bottlenose dolphin <i>Tursiops truncatus</i> community structure and abundance in the northeast Gulf of Mexico coastal waters stretching from St. Vincent Sound to Alligator Harbor, Florida, USA. Photographic-identification surveys were conducted between May 2004 and October 2006 to gain an  understanding of dolphin distribution in this region. Dolphins were distributed year-round throughout the region; however, individual sighting records indicate that 2 parapatric dolphin communities exist. We conducted mark-recapture surveys using photographic-identification techniques to estimate the abundance of dolphins inhabiting the 2 areas these communities reside in: St. Vincent Sound/Apalachicola Bay, western; and St. George Sound/Alligator Harbor, eastern. Sighting records of individual dolphins from 2004 to 2008 support the existence of 2 communities in these areas; only 3.5% of distinctive dolphins photographed were seen in both western and eastern areas. The 2 communities differ in their structure: the eastern area supports a more transient population with 45.7% of distinctive dolphins photo graphed only once compared with 28.3% in the west. Independent estimates of abundance (N, 95% CI = [low, high]) were calculated using the Chapman modification of the Lincoln-Petersen method for June 2007 and for January and February 2008 for the eastern area (242 [141−343], 395 [273−516]) and for the western survey area (197 [130−264], 111 [71−150]), respectively. Our results serve as a baseline that can be used by the US National Marine Fisheries Service to manage bottlenose dolphins in this region.

Abstract:
During the months of January and February 2010, 30 daily marine fauna sighting surveys were systematically conducted across the waters of Golfo Dulce, a tropical fiord-like embayment in the South Pacific region of Costa Rica. Special focus was placed on cetaceans, chelonids, whale sharks and pelagic sea snakes. Within the 233 logged observation hours, 234 first-hand sightings were recorded from a small panga; photo-identification was collected for 76% of those sightings. Dozens of marine species were documented during the survey period, but those that played most prominently in the survey were Humpback whales (<i>Megaptera novaengiae</i>), bottlenose dolphins (<i>Turciops truncatus</i>), pantropical spotted dolphins (<i>Stenella attenuata</i>), green/black sea turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas agassizii</i>), olive ridley sea turtles (<i>Lepidochelys olivacea</i>), hawksbill sea turtles (<i>Eretmochelys imbricata</i>), and pelagic sea snakes (<i>Pelamis platurus</i>). The study was marked by a lack of sightings for whale sharks (<i>Rhinocodon typus</i>), a species expected inside Golfo Dulce at the time of study.

Purpose:
This pilot project was designed to collect baseline data regarding the marine species that enter or reside in Golfo Dulce during the dry season months of January and February, and to determine spatialdistribution for species seen during the study period. 
Sighting coordinates are based on the display of a handheld Garmin handheld GPS III. Measure accuracy is untested. Several other data attributes were also collected during our survey, including: Geographical area, distinctive markings, initial distance from boat, closest approach distance, swim direction, behavior, associated fauna, and environmental conditions (bi-daily).

Supplemental information:
The best estimate recorded was used as the obs_count; when it was blank, the minimum estimated number of animals was used; when it was blank, too, the sum of the number of adults and young was used.

IOV - Distribución espacial y temporal del fitoplancton en el Golfo de Cariaco

Keywords: CaribeSur, Southeastern Caribbean Sea, Marine tropical microalgae, ID:BID-CA2020-025-NAC, Planktonic community, Samplingevent, Coastal upwelling
Temporal coverage: 2014/2014

Coastal phytoplankton is affected by natural and anthropic processes. To analyze the influence of some of these processes, the spatial and
temporal distribution of phytoplankton in the Gulf of Cariaco, Sucre state, was evaluated. Samples (0-10 m) were collected with Niskin
bottles (5 L) in seven stations between February 2014 and January 2015. Transparency (m), salinity (UPS), temperature (° C), chlorophyll
concentration a (mg m-3), and phytoplankton abundance (org mL-1) were measured. A nonparametric analysis of variance and multivariate methods
(PCA, CCA, and nMDS) were used to analyze the results. The 0 - 10 m stratum was homogeneous with respect to all variables except temperature
which ranged from 20.1 to 29.1 °C (March and October, respectively). Temporally, the variables were heterogeneous. Biomass fluctuates between
undetectable (ND) and 17.5 mg m-3 (December and March). While microalgal abundance oscillated between 0.24 and 1.85 x 103 org mL-1 (April and
February). The community was dominated by diatoms, nanoflagellates, and coccolithophorids. The first two groups were associated with turbulent,
nutrient-rich waters. The nMDS separated the community into the three periods previously described for the region. Likewise, the CCA detected
that wind speed and temperature were the most influential variables on the phytoplankton community during upwelling and relaxation period,
respectively. In the transition period, none of the variables studied affect the community. This is the first time that coccolithophores are reported as
part of the dominant flora in the Gulf of Cariaco. This change suggests modifications in the oceanographic conditions of the study area

Abstract:
Aerial surveys were flown in parallel lines from the South Carolina/North Carolina border to the south end of Assateague Island, Virginia, United States from December 2006 to May 2007. All large whale, small cetaceans, sea turtles and large fish, and ship sightings were recorded. Surveys were conducted in Beaufort sea states of 5 or under and in clear weather conditions. Photos of all large whales exist in the VAB LAB photo data base at University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW). UNCW houses a data base that now extends from 1998 to 2007 for aerial surveys conducted in the mid-Atlantic and southeast Atlantic bight.

Purpose:
To conduct systematic aerial surveys for large whales, specifically targeting right whales, during winter and spring off North Carolina and Virginia, United States.
