This data package includes two datasets used to assess spatial and temporal patterns in particulate organic matter (POM) chemical composition in surface (0-10 m) waters at 11 oceanographic stations along British Columbia’s Central Coast, associated with St. Pierre et al. (2022, submitted).
The datasets within the data package include: 
‘Oceanographic station mixture dataset.csv’: Particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) concentrations and stable isotope signatures (δ13C, δ15N) and ratios of carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) in surface waters (0-10 m) across 11 oceanographic stations, sampled during routine monthly surveys conducted between January 21st 2015 and September 11th 2018. Also includes water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a concentrations, and POC-to-chlorophyll a ratios.  
‘End-member raw data.csv’:  Particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) concentrations and stable isotope signatures (δ13C, δ15N) and ratios of carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) in marine phytoplankton, terrestrial, and marine intertidal macrophyte POM sources. Note that means ± standard deviations for each source were used in the Bayesian mixing model presented in St. Pierre et al. (in review). Marine intertidal macrophyte data are a subset from Froese et al. (2019).

A large-scale dune restoration project for the entire territory of the Magdalen Islands was launched in the spring of 2016 following an inventory carried out in the spring of 2015 on the breaches in the dune environment and the state of restoration carried out since 2009. The three-year project received funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and support for the 1st year from the Fondation de la Faune du Québec. It has made it possible to intervene on various dune ridges and to monitor the previous year’s restorations. 

Priority has been given to some sectors because they carried a risk of dune and wetland degradation (erosion, new breaches, impact on wetlands, etc.) or because they harbored habitats for endangered species, such as the Piping Plover and the Horned Grebe. The West Dune sector was chosen as a starting point for the project’s initial year, with its 14 km dunes and 635 hectares of wetlands to preserve. It included more than 25 sections where the integrity of the wetlands they protected was in danger. In October 2016, the sites were visited, and 13 were selected for restoration. Between October 18 and November 3, 15 structures (11 fascines and four mats of branches) and a 285 m² planting of Ammophila with short ligule were created.

At the same time, to raise awareness in the population and among those using the area, three information panels were installed along the main routes, and a class of 25 high-school students was invited to take part in an operation to plant Marram grass in a popular area for locals. These actions helped preserve an 80-hectare space, including wetlands with a quality index of 3 "High" and 4 "Superior," as well as their adjacent lagoon environment (uncharacterized).

The surfgrass length & density dataset is a component of the Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program, designed to capture change in rocky intertidal habitats. The overarching objective of Hakai Nearshore research is to investigate the role of habitats and their associated communities, in the face of stress and disturbances from global climate change and local coastal perturbations. 

The structure, health, and coverage of surfgrass beds (Phyllospadix spp.) was surveyed at three sites along the northwestern coast of Calvert Island on the central coast of BC. All three sites were exposed rocky shores with large beds of surfgrass growing in the low intertidal. The beds were surveyed using a point-intercept method with quadrats placed along a single transect. The placement and length of the transect was replicated through time, quadrat placement was not. Various parameters (e.g., average length, shoot density, epiphyte cover) of the surfgrass were assessed at the transect and/or quadrat level. The sites were generally surveyed on a monthly basis from April to September, with winter surveys in November and February.

This project consists of experimenting with the transplantation of eelgrass plants from a healthy natural herbarium (Rimouski Bay) to a degraded herbarium in Mitis Bay. The aim is to initiate a complete restoration of the eelgrass bed in future years. Since the 90s, this herbarium has been in sharp decline. Before the restoration, the environment was characterized to obtain a portrait of ecological diversity, physico-chemical water conditions, geomorphology, and human and natural disturbances. 

This project made it possible to study, deepen and experiment with eelgrass transplantation techniques, but also made it possible to carry out experimental cultivation of eelgrass in continuous flow basins.

Kelp Field Data for Remote Sensing - BC Central Coast - July 2014.

Ground truthing of kelp in areas along the Central Coast of British Columbia consists of collecting spatial data on kelp in order to match remote sensing information with what is observed in the field. 
Data collection was conducted in areas where WorldView-2 satellite coverage was planned from Calvert Island to McMullin Group. Data consists of point SHP file with field photos and species / density metrics. 
Field equipment:
A 2 x 2 meter quadrant was used in a variety of kelp beds in order to be representative of kelp beds observed on the central coast. 
A 2 meter quadrant was chosen because the WorldView-2 satellite data resolution is produced at 2 meters (multispectral).
Topcon GR5 survey grade GPS was used to collect spatial data. A DGPS mode was used to collect data soaking for 5-10 seconds providing < 10 cm X / Y accuracy.

Field work conducted by Keith Holmes and Luba Reshitnyk on July 9th to 13th 2014 on the research vessel "Hakai Blue"

The main goal of this information is to match up field data with remote sensing satellite imagery to accurately classify the extent / species / and densities of kelp. The information will be valuable in identifying spectral signatures to differentiate species in remote sensing platforms such as ecognition.

This dataset contains species-specific standardized correction factors for wet-dry calibrations for several macroalgae species of the Central Coast of British Columbia.

Macroalgae and macrophytes form the base of productive ecosystems in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean. Often, ecological research on macrophytes, macroalgae, and sea wrack requires the conversion of biomass from wet to dry to create consistency across investigations. This process, however, can be impractical, time consuming, and labour intensive. Samples of 12 common Northeastern Pacific Ocean seaweed species (Alaria marginata, Codium fragile, Egregia menziesii, Fucus distichus, Macrocystis pyrifera, Mazzaella spp., Nereocystis luetkeana, Pterygophora californica, Pyropia spp., Ulva spp., and the seagrasses Zostera marina and Phyllospadix spp.) were collected randomly and opportunistically in two states: wet and fresh, or aged and partially desiccated. Samples were weighed, dried in an oven, and weighed again in a laboratory as quickly as possible after collection. Dried samples were disposed of after dry measurements were taken. Detailed methods are available in the in the linked folder.

We found that all species displayed a strong (R2 > 0.5) and predictable (p < 0.05) linear relationship between wet and dried conditions. Half of the aged samples did not have a significant relationship between partially desiccated and dried conditions. These results offer a reliable set of species-specific standardized correction factors for wet samples that can be used in future macrophyte, macroalgae, and sea wrack research, reducing the need to conduct extensive wet-dry calibrations in future studies.
