Abstract:
It is increasingly evident that small-scale fisheries of the Eastern Mediterranean likely pose the greatest threat to Mediterranean populations of green and loggerhead turtles. In these fisheries many small boats operate close to shore in areas where turtles aggregate both to forage and reproduce and are particularly active during the turtle nesting season. In 2009 we began to investigate these fisheries taking North Cyprus as a study unit. By tracking both fishing vessels and marine turtles simultaneously we hope to delimit boundaries within which bycatch is greatest and where mitigation options can subsequently be considered and trialled. The project forms part of an ongoing PhD undertaken by Robin Snape at University of Exeter UK and is implemented in collaboration with Eastern Mediterranean University’s Biological Sciences Department through Dr Burak Ali Çiçek.

Keywords: Algae, Baseline MPA monitoring, Community Survey Data, Samplingevent, Intertidal Processes, Marine Protected Area (MPA), North Coast, Ocean, SWAT Survey, South Coast, Aquatic Habitats, Biological data, Biosphere, Intertidal Zone, Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe), Marine Habitat, Marine Plants, Intertidal Data, Invertebrates, Marine Biology, Marine Invertebrates, Intertidal Coastal Biodiversity Survey, Long-term MPA monitoring, North Central Coast, Intertidal Community Survey Data, Central Coast, Coastal Habitat, Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)
Temporal coverage: 2001/2021

Long-Term Monitoring and Biodiversity Surveys done by the Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network (MARINe) occur throughout the year at sites ranging from Southeast Alaska to Mexico. Long Term Monitoring surveys assess within-site community change over time, while Biodiversity surveys were designed to capture among-site patterns of community structure (abundance and spatial distribution of species). In combination, the long-term, targeted species approach and the biodiversity surveys provide a wealth of information about the structure and dynamics of rocky intertidal communities along the Pacific Coast of North America.
This metadata record documents the Point Contact surveys for the MARINe Biodiversity Surveys. Biodiversity surveys are comprised of four components, all sampled along the same transects: (1) point contact estimates of intertidal cover and substrate characteristics, (2) swath transects to estimate the density of seastars and abalone, (3) quadrat sampling to estimate the density of mobile invertebrates, and (4) topography (elevation relative to mean low low water (mllw)). Selected sites are resampled on a 3-5 year cycle. A site is defined as a contiguous rocky bench of at least 30m. Point Contact sampling consists of recording the diversity and abundance of invertebrates and algae along 11 transects of variable length extending from the upper intertidal to the low intertidal.
Please note that species of concern have been removed from all public datasets, as well as data from sites funded by the National Park Service (NPS) and the United States Navy. For a comprehensive dataset, please contact the data set owner(s). For more information about the data described in this metadata record, please visit pacificrockyintertidal.org.

Abstract:
The Sarasota Dolphin Research Program has been conducting research on bottlenose dolphins along the west coast of Florida since 1970.  During the 1970s, sighting data came primarily from surveys searching for tagged dolphins, from radio-tracking, and from a few photographic identification efforts (Irvine et al. 1981; Wells et al. 1980).  From 1980-1992, data came primarily from seasonal, systematic photographic identification surveys (Wells et al. 1987, Wells and Scott 1990, Scott et al. 1990, Wells 1991).   Focused photographic identification surveys of the Gulf of Mexico waters offshore of Sarasota Bay, Florida, occurred during July 1997 through August 1998 (Fazioli et al. 2006).  Building on these, biopsy darting and photo-ID occurred in the same waters during 1999-2000 (Sellas et al. 2000).  Photographic identification surveys were conducted in and immediately offshore of Tampa Bay during 1988-1993 (Wells et al. 1996a).   Photographic identification surveys were conducted in and immediately offshore of Lemon Bay and Charlotte Harbor during 1990-1994 (Wells et al. 1996b) and during 2000-2004 and 2006 (unpubl.).   Photographic identification surveys were conducted in and immediately offshore of Pine Island Sound during 1996 (Wells et al. 1997) and during 2000-2004 and 2006 (unpubl.).  Monthly photographic identification surveys have continued from 1993 to the present for Sarasota Bay and Gulf waters immediately offshore from Passage Key Inlet to Venice Inlet (Wells 2003); these have been supplemented through focal animal behavioral follows, some radio-tracking, and additional biopsy darting efforts (Owen et al. 2002).  Data provided include sighting date, location code, latitude and longitude of first observation, and best estimate of number of dolphins present (following photo-analysis) for SDRP sightings in the Gulf of Mexico.  More details on data collection and processing techniques are available in the SDRP manual available as a download from: www.sarasotadolphin.org.

Temporal coverage: 2016/2016

Sampling data captured in Oceanic Exploration Research JOGMEC has implemented the following works as the crust exploration activities during the year 2016: (1) Exploration work A sampling survey, acoustic survey, and seafloor observation were conducted according to the exploration plan. The exploration target was the JA02 Seamount and BMS drilling, ROV survey, MBES survey were performed with the marine resource research vessel Hakurei owned by JOGMEC during a period of 29 days from April 11 to May 9. In the BMS drilling, 25 holes were drilled at 13 sites to collect 22 core samples. In the ROV survey, 278 kg of samples were collected for benefication and metallurgy tests. In the MBES survey, benthic landform data including the foot of the JA02 seamount were collected. In addition to the surveys with Hakurei, automatic measurement of the crust thickness was conducted at the JA02 Seamount with a chartered vessel owned by a private company during a period of 21 days from February 3 to 23. Although the actual survey could be made only for two days due to bad weather, we made 3D mapping of the acoustic measurement result of the crust thickness on the benthic plane. The measured crust thickness was found consistent with the BMS data collected from the surrounding area.

This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network  and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)  MANGA - (Tag) Habitat use of oceanic manta rays, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals.
    If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (https://members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=FACT.MANGA).
Abstract:The purpose of this study is to understand how movements and site fidelity of endangered oceanic manta rays (Mobula birostris) affect the risk of this species interacting with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) marine mineral extraction or associated mitigation activities as part of their Marine Minerals Program (MMP). Acoustic telemetry will be used to determine habitat use patterns within existing receiver arrays at the Canaveral Shoals sand borrow area, whereas animal-borne inertial tags will be used to characterize behavior at fine spatial and temporal scales. Together, these techniques leverage the target species as a mobile oceanographic platform advancing the utility of animal telemetry for ocean monitoring while providing data on the risks of negative interactions between endangered megafauna and mineral extraction activities, thus facilitating improved mitigation. Data produced from this study will feed into robust education and outreach programs underway at Georgia Aquarium, which is one of the world’s largest public aquariums and features giant manta rays as a flagship exhibit species.

St. Croix, USVI Fish Assessment and Monitoring Data (2002 - Present)

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2001/2010

The Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessments Biogeography Team (BT) has been conducting research and monitoring in the US Virgin Islands since 2001. The basis for this work is the nearshore benthic habitats maps (less than 100 ft depth) created by NOAAs Biogeography Program in 2001 and NOS bathymetry models. Using ArcView GIS software, the digitized habitat maps are stratified. Smapling sites are randomly selected within these strata to ensure coverage of the entire study region and not just a particular reef or seagrass area. At each site, fish, macro-invertebrates, and benthic composition information is then quantified following standardized protocols. By relating the data collected in the field back to the habitat maps and bathymetric models, BT is able to model and map species level and community level information. This dataset contains the fish assessment and monitoring data from St. Croix, US Virgin Islands.
DFO audits of sea lice at finfish aquaculture sites

Keywords: Samplingevent; audit; occurrences; emof; Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Pacific Region; Aquaculture; fish farming; salmon farming; sea lice; British Columbia; BC
Temporal coverage: 2011/2020

Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO’s) conditions of licence for marine finfish aquaculture contain monitoring and intervention requirements to minimize the potential exposure of wild and farmed fish to sea lice.
Licence holders must submit a Health Management Plan to DFO that includes sea lice management. The results of industry’s sea lice assessments of Atlantic salmon are provided to DFO monthly and posted to this website quarterly. DFO biologists and veterinarians conduct regular assessments throughout the year to verify the accuracy of licence holders’ procedures and reporting.
The DFO Sea Lice Audit Report shows the results of DFO’s random quarterly lice audits, which coincide with one of the licence holder's numerous scheduled counts. To assure quality, farm staff count lice on 50 per cent of the selected fish and DFO staff count lice on the other half. Terminology in English and French is available on Open Canada https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/5cfd93bd-b3ee-4b0b-8816-33d388f6811d
Epipelagic mesozooplankton distribution and abundance in Southern Ocean Atlantic sector and the North Atlantic and Arctic 1996-2013

Temporal coverage: 1996/2013

Mesozooplankton were collected with a motion-compensated Bongo net (61 cm mouth diameter, 100 and 200 micrometre meshes) and a mini- Bongo net (18 cm mouth diameter, 50 micrometre mesh nets). Both nets fished to a maximum depth of 400 m but sometimes shallower. Specimens were categorised to the lowest possible taxonomic level, which in some cases encompassed developmental stages but in other cases was limited to higher order taxa. Each taxa was enumerated to determine abundance in units of individuals m-2. The dataset allows examination of the distribution and abundance of these species within the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean over a number of years and covering much of the productive season from spring to autumn. The data for the North Atlantic and Arctic covers one season only (summer) and is limited to providing a spatial perspective on the distribution and abundance of mesozooplankton.

This dataset contains zooplankton species distribution and abundance data collected in the Chukchi Sea during the August 2017 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The dataset is a comma separate values file (csv) exported from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The data include the location, date, time, depth, abundance and biomass of zooplankton collected during the 2017 AMBON cruise. Zooplankton were caught with traditional 150µm plankton nets and taxonomically identified. Each data file include the location, date, time, depth, and identification of zooplankton taxa collected during the 2015 AMBON cruise. The data in the file named AMBON2017_Zooplankton_Abundance_150_DC.csv and AMBON2017_505_Zooplankton_Abundance_DWC.csv consists of abundance per taxon of zooplankton. The data in the file named AMBON2017_Zooplankton_Biomass_150_DC.csv and AMBON2017_505_Zooplankton_Biomass_DWC.csv consists of biomass per taxon of zooplankton. These data files are presented in a table structure using Darwin Core term names as column names. This dataset also contains the file AMBON_station_masterlist.csv, describing stations sampled during AMBON cruises.

The goal of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) project is to demonstrate and build an operational marine biodiversity observing network from microbes to whales, integrating diversity levels from genetic to organismal. AMBON is funded through the National Ocean Partnership Program, with contributions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), Shell Exploration and Production Company, and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The AMBON field region is located on the Chukchi Sea continental shelf in the US Arctic as a region exposed to climatic changes and anthropogenic influences. AMBON is composed of a team of multi-institutional and multi-sector partners active in a variety of Arctic biodiversity observing programs and covering disciplines ranging from genetic to organismal to ecosystem. Zooplankton are the key link between primary production and many other trophic levels. Their incredible numbers and their ability to store large amounts of lipids make them an essential food source for many pelagic-feeding fishes, birds and mammals.
