Checklist of Scleractinian corals, Alcyonacean corals, Molluscs and Sponges collected or recorded from the Bonaparte Archipelago, Western Australia (2016)

Keywords: Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: 2016/2016

Intertidal and subtidal surveys were conducted at 11 sites within the Bonaparte Archipelago at two platform reefs and five fringing reefs from September 16 to 21, 2016. Subtidal sites were surveyed on SCUBA at 12 m depth. Mid-to-lower littoral reef flats were surveyed by reef
walking at low tide. At each site, the percent cover of 12 categories of benthos (hard coral, soft coral, sponge, macroalgae, algal turf, coralline algae, calcareous algae, seagrass, other invertebrates, sand, rubble, rock and silt) was examined in situ along three 25-m point-intercept
transects (50 points per transect), which were laid in a series within the same depth range.

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.

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

Supplemental information:

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 (1997-98) 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.

Effort data is provided in separate files.

Abstract:
Onslow Bay, off the coast of North Carolina, is currently the United States Navy's preferred site for an undersea warfare training range (USWTR). To determine the abundance and distribution of marine mammals and sea turtles within the USWTR, a monitoring program that includes aerial, vessel and passive acoustic survey techniques is currently being undertaken by Duke University, St. Andrews University and the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Surveys were flown in a Cessna 337, at 305 m altitude and 185 km/hr speed, with a pilot, co-pilot and two observers. The survey, consisting of ten 74 km long track-lines spaced 6.5 km apart, creating a 5 km boundary around the USWTR site, was flown 1 - 2 times a month.

NRC: First reports of Coolia monotis Meunier (Dinophyceae) from Nova Scotia, Canada

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2012/2016

In 2012, a sample collected in Cape Breton at Johnston Harbour in the Bras d'Or Lake revealed presence of a Dinophyceae, Coolia monotis Meunier. This species had not previously been reported from this area and subsequently several sites in Cape Breton and on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia were sampled to determine species distribution. Samples were collected in shallow water (&lt;0.5m depth) and later analysed in the laboratory for presence of C. monotis. This dataset does not contain quantitative information - recorded observations indicate presence/absence at a specific location. Date of the sampling event is included in the dataset.

Systematic list of the epibiotic taxa associated with scallop shells from the Digby area of the Bay of Fundy

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1998/1998

Scallop shells are often colonized by a variety of epibionts to both deleterious and advantageous effect. In June 1998, samples were collected during the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) scallop stock survey of scallop production areas SPA4 and SPA1 in the Bay of Fundy.  

Scallops (Placopecten magellanicus Gmelin, 1791) with epibiotic growth were sampled at stations selected to represent each of four bottom types (rock, gravel, shell hash, sand). All organisms attached to the shell or other organisms within the epifaunal community were identified and quantified where possible. This resource contains only the presence/absence of epibionts associated with this study (Magee et al, 2000).

The information associated with this study was standardized and republished as part of the Atlantic Coastal Zone Information Steering Committee (ACZISC) Atlantic Ecosystem Initiative (AEI) funded project “Atlantic Canada’s Biological Data for Ecosystem Planning and Decision-making” and OBIS Canada.

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.

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 Sea Star and Katharina Survey data for MARINe Long-Term Monitoring surveys. Sea Star and Katharina surveys are done by recording the number of a specific organism found in a permanent plot at a given site.
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.

A checklist of Chondrichthyan fishes of Papua New Guinea

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1824/2017

This dataset is from an annotated checklist of the chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) of Papua New Guinean waters is herein presented. The checklist is the result of a large biodiversity study on the chondrichthyan fauna of Papua New Guinea between 2013 and 2017. The chondrichthyan fauna of Papua New Guinea has historically been very poorly known due to a lack of baseline information and limited deepwater exploration. A total of 131 species, comprising 36 families and 68 genera, were recorded. The most speciose families are the Carcharhinidae with 29 species and the Dasyatidae with 23 species. Verified voucher material from various biological collections around the world are provided, with a total of 687 lots recorded comprising 574 whole specimens, 128 sets of jaws and 21 sawfish rostra. This represents the first detailed, verified checklist of chondrichthyans from Papua New Guinean waters.
