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.

Brazil Reef Biodiversity - ILTER Coastal Habitats of Espírito Santo (Benthic Invertebrate Recruitment)

Keywords: Coastal Habitats of Espírito Santo, Costa das Algas, intertidal zone, coastal biodiversity, rocky reef, recruitment, ILTER, Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: 2017/2018

The PELD (Long-term Program of Ecological Research) Coastal Habitats of Espírito Santo is part of the Brazilian LTER program and started in 2017. It is located on the Eastern Coast of Brazil, and includes coastal ecosystems including estuaries, mangroves, coastal reefs and rodolith beds. This is an innovative project to assess the temporal patterns in multiple coastal ecosystems in the Eastern Brazil Marine Ecoregion, where there is a decadal warming trend. The program associates research and conservation, at three Conservation units: Costa das Algas Environmental Protected Area (APACA), Santa Cruz Wildlife Refuge (RVSSC) and Municipal Reserves of Integral Protection of the mangroves of Piraquê-Açu and Piraquê-Mirim rivers (RPPAM).

The project aims to investigate the interactions among abiotic, climatic and ecological dynamics in the benthic communities and Ichthyofauna assemblies associated with the estuaries, the mangroves and the Rhodolith beds.

PELD-HCES counts with a research team coordinated by UFES in partnership with USP, UFBA, UFSB, UFF, UFPR, UNISUL, UFSC and the State University of Oregon, and funded by CNPQ, CAPES and FAPES.
Flow Cytometry data from the R/V TINRO, NOAA Bell M. Shimada and CCGS Sir John Franklin during the 2022 International Year of the Salmon Pan-Pacific Winter High Seas Expedition

Keywords: IYS, flow, abundance and biomass, International Year of the Salmon, cytometry, small cells, phytoplankton, Samplingevent, North Pacific Ocean
Temporal coverage: 2022/2022

Phytoplankton community composition and size structure vary considerably between oligotrophic and eutrophic regions (areas of low or high macro and micronutrients (e.g., iron)) (Hill et al., 2005; Martin et al., 1989; Strom et al., 2006; 2016), between surface and subsurface depths (Hill et al., 2005), and with season (Moran et al., 2012) and climatic conditions (Batten et al., 2021). Phytoplankton represent the base of the food web providing energy for zooplankton, which in turn support the growth of juvenile and adult salmon populations. Certain phytoplankton, like many diatom species, are particularly important food items in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA, Odate 1996, Strom et al., 2007). We aim to broaden understanding of phytoplankton dynamics in the GOA/North Pacific Ocean by investigating spatial and temporal patterns in community structure and biomass and exploring environmental (physics and nutrients) drivers of taxonomic variability that may lead to variation in the quality of phytoplankton biomass available to primary consumers during winter. The spatial variations in phytoplankton biomass, and taxa and community size structure were characterized through measurements of (among others) flow cytometry data collected at all IYS stations. In zone 4 (US Ship NOAA Bell M. Shimada) flow cytometry samples were collected from 5, 25, and 50 m for assessment of microbial community cell sizes (Moran et al. 2012). Flow cytometry were also collected at 5 m depths in zone 5 (on Canadian ship CCGS Sir John Franklin) and in zones 2-3 (on Russian ship R/V TINRO), so we have samples over the entire area surveyed. The flow cytometry analysis deliverables include tabulated counts (cells/ml) and estimated carbon content (C/cell and C/population) for the following 4 phytoplankton pico- and nanoplankton: Synechococcus, Cryptophytes, picoeukaryotes, nanoeukaryotes (excluding Cryptophytes).

Sponges of the Recherche Archipelago , Western Australia (2003-2004)

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 2002/2003

The Recherche Archipelago is a chain of approximately 105 islands and 1500 islets extending over 470 km of coastline (230 km linear distance) in temperate southern Western Australia with a wide variety of benthic habitats (Seagrass, Reef, Rhodoliths and Sand). Prior to this study knowledge of the sponge fauna of the southwest was from a limited number of papers, most of which were published more than half a century ago. A total of 644 individual Demosponges, from 11 out of 15 orders, were collected from 250 quadrats at 10 sites along the Recherche Archipelago. Across all sites Middle Island had the greatest number of sponges, however species richness was higher at Black, Frederick and Long Islands and diversity was higher at Thomas and Mondrain.

Temporal coverage: 1877/1998

An inventory of Australian seabird colonies collated by now defunct The National Oceans Office (NOO) circa 1999. There are no details of the source of the data with many details missing such as observation dates in particular. The data should therefore be treated carefully.
NOO was established by the Australian Government as the first organisation to directly manage and set policy on marine matters. Archive documents are stored at the National Library (https://librariesaustralia.nla.gov.au/search/display?dbid=auth&amp;id=36582768)
NEFSC Marine Mammal Abundance Cruise 2004 Passive Acoustic Monitoring - Porpoise Detections

Keywords: Occurrence, Occurrence,passive acoustics,towed array,detection, Observation
Temporal coverage: 2004/2004

Original provider:
NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC)

Dataset credits:
Sofie Van Parijs

Abstract:
The primary objectives of the NEFSC Marine Mammal Abundance Cruise were to:
(1) determine the spatial distribution and abundance of cetaceans and turtles in the study region,
(2) determine the spatial distribution and relative abundance of sea birds in the same region, and
(3) use passive acoustics to record vocalizing cetaceans that will hopefully be used to improve the abundance estimates derived from the visual surveys.
A secondary objective was to compare the distribution of these species with each other, physical characteristics, such as depth contours and water temperature, and biological characteristics, such as relative plankton distributions.

Purpose:
During the NEFSC Marine Mammal Abundance Cruise 2004, no detections of harbor porpoise were made, although automated detections of echolocating dolphin species were made as groups passed directly by the hydrophone. A single porpoise-like event was attributed to a sighting of <i>Kogia simus</i>.



Supplemental information:
The Porpoise detector was developed by Douglas Gillespie and Olly Chapple for the International Fund Welfare (IFAW). It uses analog envelope tracing and software detectors; two narrow bandpass filters centered around 50 and 72 kHz and one broadband filter (100 kHz - 150 kHz). These are used to detect the broadband click ultrasonic vocalizations of dolphins, and the narrow band clicks produced by the harbor porpoise (<i>Phoceona phocena</i>), Vaquita (<i>Phocena sinus</i>) and <i>Kogia spp.</i> The detector was extensively trialled in the Baltic (Gillespie et al. 2005; OBIS-SEAMAP dataset: <a href="http://seamap.env.duke.edu/datasets/detail/343">Baltic Porpoise Acoustic Surveys 01-02</a>) and upper Gulf of California.

Environmental DNA reveals tropical shark diversity in contrasting levels of anthropogenic impact

Keywords: Occurrence, COI
Temporal coverage: 2015/2015

Here we pilot a novel, rapid and non-invasive environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding approach specifically targeted to infer shark presence, diversity and eDNA read abundance in tropical habitats. We identified at least 21 shark species, from both Caribbean and Pacific Coral Sea water samples, whose geographical patterns of diversity and read abundance coincide with geographical differences in levels of anthropogenic pressure and conservation effort. We demonstrate that eDNA metabarcoding can be effectively employed to study shark diversity.

Abstract:
The aim of this project is to track a male loggerhead released from Porto Garibaldi, Northern Italy, in the Adriatic sea. The turtle (84 cm CCL; weight 59 kg) was found nearly dead in July 2002 in the same area, and was immediately named Bepi, a local nickname for Giuseppe (Joseph). The turtle had three large injuries on the carapace and a series of fractures of the hind legs. He has since recovered thanks to the efforts of vets of the local Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute and volunteers of a local organisation (ARCHE'). Bepi was deemed ready to be released in September 2003. On 24 Sept. a Telonics ST20 PTT was attached to his carapace with epoxy resin and fiberglass. Afterwards, the turtle was kept for a few days in an at-sea enclosure and released a few km offshore on 3 October.
