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.

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.

Reef corals of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, north-western Australia (Australian Indian Ocean Territory), 1989

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 1989/1989

In 1989, field studies of reef corals were undertaken at sixteen stations around Cocos (Keeling) Atoll, Horsburgh Island and North Keeling Island. Stations were selected to encompass the widest possible range of habitats. Coral collections were made at these stations and the specimens were sent to the Australian Institute of Marine Science for further study. Comparisons were also made with corals from other geographic regions and Cocos (Keeling) Islands corals held in other museums. These specimens would later be lodged with the Western Australian Museum.
Ninety nine species of reef corals are recorded from Cocos (Keeling) Atoll in the eastern Indian Ocean. Of this all but twelve are known from Western Australia. Nine species have not previously recorded from the eastern Indian Ocean and three (one being taxonomically doubtful) have not previously been recorded anywhere.
Taxa have been matched to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). Data used was downloaded from ALA https://collections.ala.org.au/public/show/dr698 July 2018.

High occurrence of jellyfish predation by black-browed and Campbell albatross identified by DNA metabarcoding 2017

Keywords: Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2013/2015

This spreadsheet provides the sequences counts for the DNA groups found in the scats of black-browed albatross at New Island and Steeple Jason Island, Falkland Islands; Diego Ramírez and Albatross Islet, Chile; Bird Island, South Georgia; Canyon des Sourcils Noirs, Kerguelen Archipelago, France; Macquarie Island, Australia; and Campbell albatross at Campbell Island, NZ.

Scat samples were collected in 2013/14 and 2014/15 at New Island, Steeple Jason Island, Macquarie Island, Campbell Island and Bird Island; in 2013/14 and 2015/16 at Kerguelen; in 2014/15 and 2015/16 at Albatross Islet and in 2013/14 at Diego Ramírez. Samples were collected during Incubation (Oct-Nov), early chick-rearing (Dec-Jan) or late-chick rearing (Feb-Mar). Due to the availability of birds at the colony, samples were predominantly collected from adults during incubation and early chick-rearing and chicks during late chick rearing. Samples sizes were too low during this study to directly compare dietary differences between chicks and adults; however, dietary comparisons between breeding stages were examined for sites where samples were collected during multiple breeding stages.

Samples were PCR amplified with a universal metazoan primer set that is highly conserved and amplifies a region of the nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA gene (18S rDNA). Details of the molecular methods and synthesis of this data can be found in: McInnes, J.C., Alderman, R., Raymond, B., Lea, M-A., Deagle, B., Catry, P., Gras, M., Phillip, R.A., Stanworth, A., Suazo, C., Thompson, D., Weimerskirch, H., Gras.

Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) - Nearshore Corals Survey, Queensland, Australia (2004)

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation
Temporal coverage: 2004/2004

The benthic communities at 33 near shore reefs between Cape Tribulation (16°S) and Keppel Is (23°S) were surveyed in 2004. Prospective near-shore coral reef sampling locations were initially selected from six broad geographic regions of the GBR: Cairns, Innisfail, Townsville, Whitsunday, Mackay, and Keppel. Each of these regions has a unique combination of climatic regime, coastal and shelf topography and the characteristics of adjacent catchments. Where topography allowed, two depths were surveyed at replicate sites at each reef giving a total of 63 locations.

Invertebrate megabenthos and fish at three Arctic seamounts at the Langseth Ridge

Keywords: Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: null/null

During RV Polarstern cruise PS101 to the central Arctic Ocean (chief scientist: Prof. Dr. Antje Boetius) in 2016, high-resolution digital images were taken with a towed “Ocean Floor Observation and Bathymetry System” (OFOBS) at the Central Mount, the Karasik Seamount, and the Northern Mount at the Langseth Ridge. During four OFOBS deployments (two deployments at the Central Mount, one deployment at the Karasik Mount, one deployment at the Northern Mount) in total 3,162 images of the seafloor were taken every 20 sec. at 1.5 to 2.5 m above the seafloor. For the image analysis, 2,099 images of high quality were loaded into the software “Program for Annotation of Photographs and Rapid Analysis (of Zillions and Zillions) of Images” (PAPARA(ZZ)I) and annotated. Invertebrate megabenthos (&gt;1 cm) and fish were identified based on images and sponge taxa had been confirmed by sponge spicule analysis of several collected specimens.
The Deepwater Program Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitat and Benthic Ecology - DgoMB Amphipods

Keywords: Occurrence, observation
Temporal coverage: 2000/2000

A research program has been initiated by the Minerals Management Service to gain better knowledge of the benthic communities of the deep Gulf of Mexico entitled "The Deepwater Program: Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitat and Benthic Ecology". Increasing exploration and exploitation of fossil hydrocarbon resources in the deep-sea prompted the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to support an investigation of the structure and function of the assemblages of organisms that live in association with the sea floor in the deep-sea. The program, "Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos" or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000 meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and Florida Escarpments. This dataset contains the Amphipoda data.
Northeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program Near Shore Trawl Survey (NEAMAP)

Keywords: Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2007/2013

NEAMAP stands for NorthEast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program.  NEAMAP was developed to meet the needs of fisheries management and stock assessment activities in the northeastern United States. NEAMAP began in 2006 with a fall pilot survey and in 2008 began conducting both a spring and fall survey.  NEAMAP samples from Cape Cod, MA south to Cape Hatteras, NC and targets both juvenile and adult fishes.

NEAMAP is an integrated, cooperative state/federal data collection program. Its mission is to facilitate the collection and dissemination of fishery-independent information obtained in the Northeast for use by state and federal fisheries management agencies, the fishing industry (commercial and recreational), researchers, and others requesting such information. The intent of NEAMAP is not to change existing programs, but to coordinate and standardize procedures and improve data quality and accessibility.
