Temporal coverage: 2015/2015

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 underwatervideography 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.

Banc d'Arguin a Nursery for fish species

Keywords: Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2002/2002

In the period from 27-01-2002 until 18-03-2002 126 samples, totalling an area of 6139.58 m2, on different substrates (Zostera, Tidal pool, Sand, Gully Zostera and Gully Cvmodocea) were collected with a Beam trawl in the Baie d'Aouatif, located in the Parc National du Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania. This was done to test the hypothesis that the Banc d'Arguin has an ecological function as a nursery for juvenile fish. 347 individuals of 25 different species were caught, 2 of those species belonged to the class of Cephalopoda. Of the twenty-three fish species, those species belonging to the family of Gobiidae and the Sub-family Syngnathinae were the most common species.

A new pygmy species of box jellyfish (Cubozoa: Chirodropida) from sub-tropical Australia

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1984/2013

Tropical box jellyfish include some of the world’s most venomous animals, leading researchers and the media to wonder whether changes in climate may drive these species into sub-tropical waters. The discovery, therefore, of small box jellyfish in the waterways of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast of south-east Queensland raised concern. This pygmy species proved to be new to science, separated from other species in the genus Chiropsella by its very small size; its semi-circular phacellae;
very shallow, coalesced gastric saccules; its peculiar, long pedalia where the ‘palm’ is greatly reduced and the nonopposing
‘fingers’ branch off together at the same level; and a knee-like bend of the pedalial canal. The residential canal/
river habitat of this species of chirodropid raises the question of whether this area is also suitable for habitation by the
larger, more virulent chirodropids such as the so-called ‘deadly box jellyfish’, Chironex fleckeri. This new species,
Chiropsella saxoni sp. nov., brings the total number of chirodropid species described from Australian waters to five.

Occurrences of harmful micro algae within the Belgian Part of the North Sea compiled from literature and monitoring records

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1907/2015

This dataset represents the Belgian contribution to IOC-UNESCO’s Global HAB Status report. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC) aims to create reliable, verified data sets for all known HAB species for each geographic region of the globe. Records within the dataset originate from authoritative sources, usually publications that contain observations of harmful algae in the Belgian part of the North Sea. Uniquely, this dataset also contains records from Flanders Environment Agency (= Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij VMM), the regional governance body which was legally responsible for the phytoplankton monitoring of Shellfish Water (in accordance to the EC Shellfish Waters Directive) between 2000 and 2015. Literature sources were found by scouring the “Belgian Marine Bibliography” (http://www.vliz.be/en/belgian-marine-bibliography) up to 2018; a reference list maintained by Flanders Marine Institute that lists all known (grey) publications (1636-today) on the Belgian part of the North Sea. All literature dealing with phytoplankton were screened for records of harmful algae, as recognized by IOC-UNESCO in the Taxonomic Reference List of Harmful Micro Algae (http://www.marinespecies.org/hab/). Observations were reproduced to the greatest possible spatiotemporal resolution (latitude/longitude and date/time) and graded for certainty based on the information (e.g. description, visual evidence, genetic identification) given. If the publication provided an exact area definition with latitude and longitude for the geographic extent, this information is provided. If only a regional place name was given, then a known locality name and nominal coordinates were assigned by the literature search editor using the Marine Regions gazetteer (http://www.marineregions.org/). If a harmful algal event was associated with the species occurrence, then a link to the IODE/HAEDAT database (http://haedat.iode.org/) was included. In summary, this dataset provides a unique, trustworthy list of all known occurrence of HAB taxa within the confines of the Belgian economic exclusion zone.
Foreign vessel commercial trawl records from the North West Shelf, Australia (1979-1985)

Keywords: Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: 1979/1985

The North West Shelf Joint Environmental Management Study (NWSJEMS) was a $7.7 million marine environmental study of the North West Shelf jointly funded by CSIRO and the Western Australian Government. Further details and reports at https://www.cmar.csiro.au/nwsjems/
.
The data presented here was summarised to produce an interim report to describe the trawling effort and total catch in the North West Shelf of Australia between 1973 and 1997. It contains foreign and domestic commercial fisheries data from three separate sources: Taiwanese Logbook data (Anon. 1973-1982), foreign (Taiwanese, Chinese and South Korean) trawl data collated by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (1979-1989), and domestic catch and effort statistics data collated by Fisheries, Western Australia (1979-1997). Trawling effort and total catch by year, as well as catches of 22 species categories (mostly family level classifications) are summarised spatially into a 10x10 minute grid scale over part of the NWS region to show spatial distribution. The original Report produced Mar 2001 was updated and corrected in 2003. The corrections made are: (1) the Taiwanese total catch was recalculated using all categories reported in the Annual reports (previously invertebrates, 'dumped' and 'other' were excluded); (2)Taiwanese effort data was corrected for logbook recovery rates reported in the Annual Reports. The update refers to an additional section describing the data that was used in NWS-JEMS Project 5.

Abstract:
This dataset contains locational information of marine mammal, sea bird, sea turtle sightings off of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, in August, 2004.

Purpose:
http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/hatterasfronts/marinemammal.html

Our objective is to map the distribution of upper-trophic predators with respect to physical and biological gradients across the NC shelf. A team of observers used standardized population sampling techniques, including line-transect and strip transect methods, to survey the distribution and abundance of marine mammals, birds and turtles. By repeatedly surveying the study area in conjunction with physical and biological measurements from in-situ and remote-sensing platforms, we will quantify how these predators respond to changes in the oceanography of this dynamic region over short time scales (days) and across seasons (summer - winter).

Abstract:The snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) is the third most important fishery species in terms of landing value in Nova Scotia. Based on fishery landings, snow crabs are thought to segregate by sex and size. The species is migratory, based on the seasonal disappearance and reappearance of crabs in different geographical areas, and limited tagging studies that have been conducted to date. However, the tagging studies necessary to document the scale and scope of such migrations have not yet been conducted. Information about the migratory movements of the species will be very important to managers as they determine quotas for fisheries in the different crab fishing zones (geographical management areas). At present, snow crab movements are too poorly understood to assist in developing management regimes for the species. This project involves the tagging and release of snow crab onto the Scotian Shelf by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans along with subsequent deployments of acoustic receivers in order to track their movements. Additional receivers have been deployed in the area through collaboration with industrial partners. Tagging has occurred in several areas off Cape Breton, Halifax and within St. Anne's Bank MPA.

Abstract:Marine invasive species have become a widespread phenomenon, with devastating ecological and economic consequences. Current research focuses mainly on monitoring the ecological impacts of invasive species, rather than aiming to understand the mechanisms facilitate or drive them. Landscape characteristics such as substrate configuration, patchiness, and resource availability, are known determinants of the behavior and distribution of marine species. Such components change substantially over space and time, and little is known on how the impact of invasive species may vary accordingly. This research focuses on an invasive rabbitfish species Siganus rivulatus, previously native to the Indo-Pacific. Along the Mediterranean coast, S. rivulatus is shown to have devastating impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems� resilience, and community structures. My research aims to understand how the species� behavior and impact are facilitated or restricted by the surrounding landscape, directly comparing the native and invasive ranges of this species. By employing state-of-the-art technology, previously unused in Israel, fish movements will be recorded in real-time through acoustic tags. Data of such high resolution will enable to quantify fundamental parameters such as home range kernels, habitat utilization, and movement trajectories. By conducting a similar study at the native region (Red Sea; Eilat) and the invaded region (Mediterranean; Sdot-Yam) I will gain insight into the behavioral landscape ecology of S. rivulatus, and the behavioral shifts that may have occurred as a result of invading a novel ecosystem. Finally, movement patterns of S. rivulatus can be used to understand the degree of landscape connectivity in the Mediterranean, thereby predicting further expansion.
