Abstract:
The Sea Turtles and Marine Mammals Conservation Program (ProCTMM) from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano (UTADEO) – Mundo Marino Aquarium (Museo del Mar Foundation) since 1999 has led investigating these reptiles in the Colombian Caribbean, in two main areas: monitoring nesting activity in the National Park Tayrona (PNNT) and adjacent areas within Santa Marta region (since 1999) and release of neonates in closed systems (since 2004) counting with the support of Petrobras since 2006, developed simultaneously environmental education program, designed to sensitize the community on the critical situation of these populations around the world.As one of the results of the introduction of 2477 juveniles, between Hawksbill, Loggerhead and Green turtles was obtained from seven (7) introduction events, three (3) reports sighted individuals in perfect health, after its introduction into the environment. The first nine (9) months, in July 2007 in waters surrounding the Rosario Islands, Cartagena - Colombia, the second in 2008 in the area of Pearl Lagoon in Nicaragua intercepted one (1) year after its release, and the third, found in the Mexico Gulf, 70 Km  from Pensacola, Southeast Florida, United States,five (5) months since introduction.The Program is aware of the situation of these ancient animals and the lack of information about their activity in the area, we decided to use Satellite tracking devices supported by the University under the Creative Project Implementation of Satellite Tracking in Sea Turtle because despite the importance of previous reports that suggest two possible migration routes: the first residential (with the use of local currents), and the second International (northwest along the Caribbean Sea), it is evident that existing information is insufficient to confirm the use of it and require decades of continuous labeling for its determination.For those reasons ProCTMM introduced on 5 December at Bay Gayraca (PNNT), the first Hawksbill Turtle in the Colombian Caribbean with this technology attached to its shell in order to achieve tangible results, which will help to elucidate possible migration routes of these individuals in the area, and identify the possible coupling of juveniles belonging to the Head-start project.

Long-term Ecological Monitoring Research Brazilian Oceanic Islands (reef fish)

Keywords: Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2006/2019

PELD-ILOC (Long Term Ecological Research of Brazilians Oceanic Islands) is a network of Brazilian scientists from several universities and organizations engaged in long-term ecological research of marine biodiversity on the four Brazilian oceanic islands. The network unites researchers to monitoring the marine wildlife all around the St. Peter and St. Paul’s Archipelago, Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Rocas Atoll and Trindade Island and Martin Vaz Archipelago since 2013. Gaining these long-term knowledge, PELD-ILOC plays a fundamental role in understanding oceanic islands ecosystems and thereby provide the prerequisites for knowledge-based solutions to many current and future environmental problems. The goal of the PELD-ILOC is to provide long-term research to the scientific community, policymakers, and society with the knowledge and predictive understanding necessary to conserve, protect, and manage the Brazilian oceanic islands ecosystems, their biodiversity, and the services they provide.
This dataset compiles data from 2006 to 2019 gathered from all four islands at different depths and sites and is related to reef fish (Actinopterygii) species occurrence, size and abundance.

Deep-water azooxanthellate Scleractinia from Vanuatu, and Wallis and Futuna Islands

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 1931/1995

A total of 134 Recent species of azooxanthellate Scleractinia are reported from the Vanuatu (116 species) and Wallis and Futuna (83 species) Archipelagos, all but one being new records for the region of the tropical central Pacific. The newly reported specimens originate primarily from the MUSORSTUM 7 and 8 expeditions, including approximately 4400 specimens from 227 stations, most of these deeper than 100 m.
Within the tropical central Pacific these corals show a strong affinity with those from the ridges and islands north of New Zealand (56 species) and a lessor relationship with the Hawaiian Island fauna (24 species). Other regions in the central Pacific are too poorly know for comparison. Beyond the tropical central Pacific, the Vanuatu/Wallis and Futuna fauna is part of the larger Indo-Polynesian province, sharing 95 (71%) of its species with the tropical western Pacific and 62 species (46%) with the Indian Ocean. Only seven species are found in common with the tropical eastern Pacific and 11 with the Atlantic Ocean. Finally, 43 species from the Vanuatu/Wallis and Futuna Archipelagos are also known from temperate Japan (exclusive of the Ryukyu Islands) and 32 from temperate New Zealand and southern Australia.

Abstract:
El seguimiento vía satélite de las tortugas marinas capturadas dentro del territorio Mexicano, mediante la aplicación de transmisores, provee conocimientos sobre la conducta de los individuos durante las ínteranidaciones, lugares de estancia, distancias y posibles rutas en el desplazamiento post temporada de anidación. Lo anterior contribuye al estudio de su comportamiento en el mar, lo cual provee conocimientos invaluables para definir las diferentes rutas migratorias y estimar él o los grupos componentes de la población reproductiva. El uso de telemetría nos ofrece un gran apoyo, para responder a preguntas esenciales para el manejo y la conservación de las tortugas marinas, así como comparar nuestros resultados con otras poblaciones de tortugas en el mundo. 	Considerando la importancia de este tipo de estudios el Organización SyCOMA a través de su Programa para Protección de Tortugas Marinas con el apoyo de Hotel Allegro COZUMEL , en el año del 208 dieron inicio al al proyecto “TRAS LA RUTA DE LAS TORTUGAS MARINAS EN COZUMEL .... !!!”, debido a la poca información con la que se cuenta para esta especie con respecto a sus movimientos y rutas migracionales , los datos que se obtienen del seguimiento de las tortugas que son estudiadas, podrán servir de base para futuras decisiones en cuanto a conservación y manejo.
