Abstract:
As part of the AMAPPS program, the Southeast Fisheries 
Science Center conducted an aerial survey on the 
continental shelf waters of the US east coast, from New 
Jersey to the Florida Keys. The survey was conducted 
between 18 May and 24 June of 2019 aboard a NOAA Twin 
Otter aircraft at an altitude of 600 feet (183 m) and a 
speed of 110 knots. Survey tracklines were oriented 
perpendicular to the shoreline and latitudinally spaced 
20 
km apart. The survey was designed for analysis using 
Distance sampling and a two-team (independent observer) 
approach to correct for perception bias in resulting 
abundance estimates. A portion of the proposed tracklines 
off the southern coast of Georgia was not surveyed due to 
restricted airspace from military exercises.

Purpose:
The main goal of this survey was to assess the distribution 
and abundance of marine mammals and sea turtles in the US 
east coast.

Supplemental information:
Perpendicular distance to the animal is not publicly 
available.

The dataset is accompanied by transect (effort) data 
which is provided as a separate file.
Sightings included were detected on-effort by the forward 
team only; you may request the full dataset and sightings 
including opportunistic ones directly to the provider.

Marine Awareness North Wales, Wildlife Trust harbor porpoise baseline surveys on the north coast of Anlesey, Wales, UK

Abstract:
A three year study was undertaken during 2002 to 2004 from May to September to estimate abundance and density of harbor porpoises on the north coast of Anglesey, Wales, United Kingdom. There were no ecological data regarding the harbor porpoises in Anglesey waters so the ability to influence conservation measures was highly constrained. Boat-based transects using distance sampling techniques were applied so a robust estimate of density and abundance could be attained. The study area consisted of a block approximately 489 km2 extending from the east of Point Lynas to the west of South Stack on north coast of Anglesey. The study area was divided into five blocks consisting of 31 perpendicular transect lines to the shore. Each of the transect lines were surveyed 1–5 times by the end of the three year study. Based on the assumption that g(0) = 1 the density of harbor porpoises for the 489 km2 study site was estimated to be 0.630 individuals/km2 (CV = 0.20) and the abundance is estimated to be 309 individuals (CV = 0.20). Heterogeneity in density and abundance was observed across the five blocks which showed Point Lynas and South Stack to have the highest densities. This distribution was closely associated to fine-scale oceanographic features which cause prey to be concentrated and may facilitate foraging for harbor porpoises. The study showed that Anglesey provides coastal habitats for the harbor porpoise and was the first study of this kind in North Wales, United Kingdom.

Purpose:
The need for abundance and density estimates was highlighted as a key factor in the conservation and management of the harbor porpoise in Anglesey waters. Moreover, proposed extension of the wind farms from Liverpool Bay to Anglesey and the potential of the area for marine renewable energy devices presented a problem to managers and planners due to the lack of knowledge of harbor porpoise populations in north Wales.

Supplemental information:
Among tracklines, two lines were removed as either start or end time was not recorded. These are: 6/08/2003 starting 16:23, and 9/08/2003 ending 16:02.
Surface eDNA samples of eukaryote micro- and mesoplankton along the 110°E meridian (Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) expedition) RV Investigator voyage IN2019_V03 (2019)

Keywords: Specimen, 18S rRNA, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2019/2019

Sea surface planktonic assemblages were sampled using environmental DNA at 1.5° latitudinal increments (from 39.5 to 11.5°S) following the 110°E meridian in the Eastern Indian Ocean to reveal factors structuring eukaryotic diversity. Bioinformatics and analyses were conducted in R version 4.1.1 (R Core Team 2021) and all bioinformatic scripts and matrices/databases are available in the GitHub (https://github.com/wwfoodw/East_Indian_eDNA_Transect). Note that no clustering is used, but Dada2, which runs a model of PCR/sequencing error and then generates lineage specific sequences (called ASVs or zero-radius OTUs). Raw FASTQ sequence data are publicly available in the Short Read Archive under BioProject PRJNA657626.

La ecorregión de la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta - CGSM es el complejo lagunar estuarino más extenso de Colombia del que hacen parte 14 municipios. Por sus características hidrológicas, ecológicas y geomorfológicas, sus ecosistemas estuarinos son considerados de los más productivos de la zona tropical, hecho que le ha permitido estar designada con cinco figuras de protección. A pesar de su gran importancia, la CGSM mostró un grave deterioro ambiental en la década de los 90 como producto del desequilibrio hídrico originado por la construcción de la carretera Ciénaga-Barranquilla en los 50s, que condujo progresivamente a la hipersalinización del sistema. Con el objeto de promover su rehabilitación, se realizó la reapertura de cinco canales naturales preexistentes con conexión al río Magdalena. Desde la apertura de los canales y para evaluar los cambios ambientales, estructurales y funcionales de las comunidades vegetales (manglar), de la calidad del agua y los recursos pesqueros, el Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras – INVEMAR, con el apoyo de la Corporación Autónoma Regional del Magdalena – CORPAMAG y el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible - MinAmbiente, ha venido realizando el presente monitoreo ambiental en la CGSM, en  el  marco  del  convenio  de  cooperación  No.  16  del  27 de diciembre del 2006, estos esfuerzos  fueron reforzados  en  el 2014  con  la  suscripción  del  convenio  de  asociación  No  40.
En este conjunto de datos se reportan manglares, documentados en seis estaciones de monitoreo en la región del Caribe continental colombiano, que corresponden a 29.650 registros biológicos obtenidos entre los años 1995 y 2021.

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. It is one of the longest running coral reef monitoring projects in south Florida and has been extremely important in documenting the temporal changes that have occurred in recent years.
