MBON POLE TO POLE: ROCKY SHORE BIODIVERSITY OF GALAPAGOS

Keywords: Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: 2019/2019

The MBON Pole to Pole effort seeks to develop a framework for the collection, use and sharing of marine biodiversity data in a coordinated, standardized manner leveraging on existing infrastructure managed by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS; IOC-UNESCO), the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), and the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). The MBON Pole to Pole aims to become a key resource for decision-making and management of living resource across countries in the Americas for reporting requirements under the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), Aichi Targets of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This collection corresponds to the species registered on benthic fauna and flora of the intertidal rocky shores of the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) by the Charles Darwin Research Station, Charles Darwin Foundation, using the MBON P2P sampling protocol for rocky shores.
The Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands (CDF) www.darwinfoundation.org is an international non-profit organization dedicated to scientific research. CDF has carried out its mission in the Galapagos since 1959, thanks to an agreement with the Government of Ecuador and with the mandate to pursue and maintain collaborations with government agencies by providing scientific knowledge and technical assistance to promote and secure conservation of Galapagos. The mission of the Charles Darwin Foundation and its Research Station is to provide knowledge and assistance through scientific research and complementary action to ensure the conservation of the environment and biodiversity in the Galapagos Archipelago.
Nicolas Moity and Inti Keith from CDF were supported by the Gordon &amp; Betty Moore Foundation, Galapagos Conservancy, Galapagos Conservation Trust, IGTOA y Paul M. Angell Family Foundation.
The Pole to Pole project is supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant 80NSSC18K0318, ”Laying the foundations of the Pole-to-Pole Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) of the Americas”, and co-sponsored by AmeriGEO.

The purpose of the Coral Reef Evaluation and Monitoring Project (CREMP) is to monitor the status and trends of selected reefs in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary(FKNMS). CREMP assessments have been conducted annually at fixed sites since 1996 and data collected provides information on the temporal changes in benthic cover and diversity of stony corals and associated marine flora and fauna. The core field methods continue to be underwater videography and timed coral species inventories. Findings presented in this report include data from 109 stations at 37 sites sampled from 1996 through 2008 in the Florida Keys and 1999 through 2008 in the Dry Tortugas. The report describes the annual differences (between 2007 and 2008) in the percent cover of major benthic taxa (stony corals, octocorals, sponges, and macroalgae), mean coral species richness and the incidence of stony coral conditions. Additionally, it examines the long-term trends of the major benthic taxa, five coral complex, Montastraea cavernosa, Colpophyllia natans, Siderastrea siderea, and Porites astreoides) and the clionaid sponge, Cliona delitrix. It is one of the longest running coral reef monitoring projects in south Florida and has been extremely important in documenting the temporal changes that have occurred in recent years.

Abstract:
The metadata edits are in progress. Please contact the contact person for detail.

Aerial surveys of marine birds have been conducted annually since 1992 by the Puget Sound Ambient Monitoring Program (PSAMP) staff during both a summer (July) and a winter (December to early February) survey window, sampling some part of every portion of the marine shoreline of the inner marine waters of Washington state by two strata: nearshore (&lt;20 meters in depth) and offshore (&gt;20 meters in depth).

The datasets are split by season (summer or winter) and year. The nearshore strata were sampled in two fashions:
1) In nearshore habitat that was relatively narrow, the plane flew parallel to the shoreline generally 100 meters from the high tide line;
2) In nearshore habitat with broad extensive shallow areas such as river estuaries, the plane flew in an S-pattern to sample a larger proportion of the habitat available in that locality.
The offshore strata were sampled in a crisscross pattern that zigzagged back and forth across depth contours, with an attempt made to cut across most all banks and similar major underwater bathymetric features. There was no attempt made to survey during the same tidal stage in these areas.

The survey always began in the southernmost study areas and proceeded to the northern portions; therefore the same areas were usually sampled during the same time of month each year, give or take a week. The last two summer surveys (1997-1998) did not include the southern and central portions of Puget Sound, due to budget cuts. These areas were chosen to be continued on a less frequent basis because low and consistent numbers of birds were seen there during the July survey window in the previous five summer surveys.

Purpose:
The purpose of this program is to monitor population trends of either summer or winter resident species rather than migrations around Puget Sound.

Density Estimation of Cetaceans from passive Acoustic Fixed sensors (DECAF)

Abstract:
This archive contains data on sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) recorded at the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) in the Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas in August-September 2007. Data are provided showing when sperm whales were detected on the range during the time period, details about the availability of the acoustic data used in the analysis and finally, the number and size of sperm whale groups localized.
Records in this dataset represent a sample of data used in the sperm whale group localizations. Fifty 10-minute periods were randomly subsampled from the available acoustic files, and clicking animals were localized, where possible. By chance, some 10-minute periods did not contain any sperm whale clicks.

Purpose:
This dataset used multiple hydrophones at AUTEC to detect sperm whale clicks. Click trains from individual whales were identified, enabling the number of diving whales to be estimated. Assuming that all diving sperm whale groups at a given time are detected by AUTEC, then density of diving sperm whales can be estimated.

Supplemental information:
Records in this dataset represent the sample of data used in the sperm whale group localizations. Each record represents the detection of a whale on a given hydrophone. A single whale may be heard on multiple hydrophones, as indicated in series.
The related dataset describing when sperm whales were detected on the range is available at http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/682.

Aves manglares de áreas afectadas por hidrocarburos en zona costera y piedemonte del departamento de Nariño

Keywords: SiB_MARINO, zona costera, Occurrence, hidrocarburos, aves manglares, Observation, rehabilitación ecológica
Temporal coverage: 2017/2017

En este estudio, se presenta un total de 837 registros correspondientes a 2369 individuos de 69 especies de aves manglares, las cuales se agrupan en 29 familias y 14 ordenes, que representan el 19,1% de las especies de aves reportadas para el litoral  del  municipio de San Andrés de Tumaco. Las aves fueron observadas en febrero y abril del 2017 en los esteros de Curay, Carboncillal, Cucupí y El Pozo los cuales se localizan en jurisdicción el municipio de San Andrés de Tumaco, Nariño.
Las  familias  con  mayor  número  de  especies  registradas  fueron  Ardeidae  con  ocho  especies (11,6%),  Accipitridae  con  cinco  (7,2%),  Picidae,  Psittacidae,  Scolopacidae,  Thraupidae  y Trochilidae con cuatro (5,8%) y Alcedinidae, Parulidae y Tyrannidae con tres (4,3%). Las 19  familias restantes, fueron  representadas  por  dos  o  una  especies  (con  2,9  y  1,4%, respectivamente), para un total de 27 especies (39,1%). La  especie  más  abundante  registrada  en  las  cinco  localidades fue la  Fragata  común  (Fregata magnificens Mathews,  1914)  perteneciente  a  la familia  de  las  Fragatas (Fregatidae), con  1083 (46%)  registros,  la  mayoría  (835)  en  Terán,  seguida por  el  Andarríos  maculado (Actitis  macularius Linnaeus,  1766)  perteneciente  a  la  familia  de  los  Andarríos  y  Caicas (Scolopacidae) con 135 (6%) registros, la mayoría (40) en Terán.
La  composición  de  la  avifauna  en  general  para  las  cinco  localidades está  dominada  por  las Garzas  (Ardeidae), familia  mejor  representada  por  el  número  de  especies,  seguidas  de  las Águilas y Gavilanes (Accipitridae) y con menos especies se encuentran los Carpinteros (Picidae), las  Guacamayas,  Pericos  y  Loras  (Psittacidae), los  Andarríos  y  Caicas  (Scolopacidae),  las Tangaras  y  Afines (Thraupidae),  los  Colibríes  (Trochilidae).  En  cuanto  a  las  familias  mejor representadas por las localidades, las Garzas (Ardeidae) y los Andarríos y Caicas (Scolopacidae) dominan  en  todas,  pero  a este  nivel  son  seguidas  por  las  Guacamayas,  Pericos  y  Loras (Psittacidae)  registradas  principalmente  en  Curay,  Bocagrande  y  Terán  y  los  Carpinteros (Picidae) en Trujillo y Bocagrande.
Se concluye que la  riqueza  de  especies  de  aves  en  general  para  las  cinco  localidades  en  el  municipio  de  San Andrés de Tumaco no es muy alta y mucho menos comparada con la riqueza de aves marinas y el litoral del municipio reportado en la literatura. En cuanto a la riqueza por las localidades, Terán presento la mayor riqueza de especies, luego esta Bocagrande con un número muy cercano y por  último  está  Trujillo,  Chontal  y  Curay,  con  riquezas  muy  similares.

TPWD HARC Texas Coastal Fisheries Sabine Lake Bay Trawl

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation
Temporal coverage: 1986/2008

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) utilizes several sampling gears for fisheries-independent monitoring of finfish and shellfish communities. They include bag seines, trawls, gill nets and oyster dredges. TPWD uses multiple gears in a random sampling protocol, and they identify (to the lowest taxonomic unit possible) and count everything that they collect. This dataset contains bay trawl data collected for the Sabine Lake bay system in Texas from 1986 to 2008. Collected data also included spatial and temporal information describing the sample location and time, collection gear information, hydrological data (e.g. dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and salinity), weather conditions, species caught, and number of each species captured. Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) calculated the relative abundance data, calculated as the catch of a particular species in a sample divided by the total number of animals captured in that sample. Absence data was recorded for species on the TPWD species sampling lists that were not captured during sampling.
