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 Photo Plot and Transect Survey data for MARINe Long-Term Monitoring surveys. Photo Plots are used to monitor percent cover of organisms within target species assemblages. Plots are established for a given species assemblage if overall cover at a site is sufficient for monitoring. Transects are used to monitor percent cover of surfgrass, kelps, and other algae.
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.

Multiple observations of Bigfin Squid (Magnapinna sp.) in the Great Australian Bight reveal distribution patterns, morphological characteristics, and rarely seen behaviour

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation
Temporal coverage: 2015/2017

One of the most remarkable groups of deep-sea squids is the Magnapinnidae, known for their large fins and strikingly long arm and tentacle filaments. Little is known of their biology and ecology as most specimens are damaged and juvenile, and in-situ sightings are sparse,
numbering around a dozen globally. As part of a recent large-scale research programme in the Great Australian Bight, Remotely Operated Vehicles and a towed camera system were deployed in depths of 946–3258 m resulting in five Magnapinna sp. sightings. These represent
the first records of Bigfin Squid in Australian waters, and more than double the known records from the southern hemisphere, bolstering a hypothesis of cosmopolitan distribution.

NOAA coral reef monitoring benthic data from sites across Micronesia from 2009-09-29 to 2015-09-25

Keywords: Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: 2009/2015

Benthic census data were collected from sites around Micronesia as part of the ongoing Micronesia Challenge. Information on the program can be found at (www.micronesiareefmonitoring.com). Survey sites were selected around each island to be representative of natural environmental gradients, management, and major reef types. Thus, full site designs can be used to evaluate both island trends and site-specific trends. Benthic substrates were evaluated using a photo-quadrat technique. At each site, five 50-m transects were used to measure fishes, corals, and other benthic assemblages between 8–10 m on outer reefs, and at 3–5 m for inner lagoon reefs.Fifty photos were taken at 1-m intervals along each 50-m transect line. Within each photo the benthic substrates were evaluated under five randomly allocated crosses. Benthic-assemblage metrics were derived from data aggregated across the 50 photographs, to the transect level (n = 5). Metrics included coral and macroalgal cover, coral-genus richness, and a benthic substrate ratio defined by the percentage cover of heavily calcifying (corals and CCA) versus non-or-low calcifying (turf, encrusting, and macroalgae) substrates.

Abstract:
The ship survey was conducted from 06 August 1995 to 05 September 1995, beginning and ending in Woods Hole, MA. The study area covered approximately 12,600 nmi2 , and included the area bounded by Portland, ME to St. John, New
Brunswick, to the southern tip of Nova Scotia.

This cruise was part of a large scale marine mammal sighting survey which consisted of two legs (each approximately a month long) on each of two ships, and a six week aerial survey which was conducted concurrently with vessel operations. The entire study area was from Chesapeake Bay, VA, USA to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada.

Purpose:
The objectives of this survey were to:
1) Estimate the abundance of harbor porpoises in the Gulf of Maine - Bay of Fundy - Scotian shelf area using two different field collection and analysis methods.
2) Determine the spatial distribution and estimate the abundance of other cetaceans found in the above area.
3) Conduct a comparison between sighting rates and spatial distribution of harbor porpoises as seen by two different types of sighting platforms, a ship (the R/V ABEL-J) and an aircraft.
4) Determine spatial distribution patterns of harbor porpoises, and investigate if the patterns are correlated with hydrographic or biological features, such as, water depth, temperature or salinity.
5) Determine if harbor porpoises avoid this ship, and if so, at what distance.
6) Compare the abundance estimate and spatial distribution of harbor porpoises as seen this year with that seen in previous years.

Supplemental information:
In addition to the sighting data, effort data was recorded  every half hour or whenever conditions change.
This dataset, therefore, should be used with the effort data.

Part I was conducted during July 9 - August 2, 1995.

Temporal coverage: 2021/2021

En este trabajo, se recolectaron muestras de ADN de la herpetofauna de los PNNs Sanquianga y Gorgona para identificarlas y compararlas con las secuencias de especies registradas en bibliotecas de referencia. El Laboratorio de Ecología Molecular de Vertebrados Acuáticos (LMVA) de la Universidad de los Andes extrajo ADN de 61 muestras recolectadas en campo y obtuvo secuencias de tres marcadores moleculares mitocondriales: Citocromo Oxidasa I (COI), Citocromo b (CytB) y 16S. Se obtuvieron 177 pares de secuencias, de las cuales 110 mantuvieron una calidad entre regular y muy buena, y 67 se sugiere repetir porque hubo muy escasa amplificación.
Los resultados obtenidos en esta expedición demuestran la importancia de la aplicación de herramientas moleculares para la identificación precisa de la biodiversidad y el monitoreo de los ecosistemas. Este trabajo representa un aporte importante al conocimiento de la biodiversidad de anfibios y reptiles de los PNNs Sanquianga y Gorgona, y abre la posibilidad de continuar con investigaciones similares en otras regiones del país. En general, estos resultados pueden tener un impacto significativo en la toma de decisiones para la conservación y protección de la biodiversidad en el país.

Abstract:
Marine megafauna populations in coastal waters are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic impacts. Moreton Bay, a large embayment in south-east Queensland, lies adjacent to one of the fastest growing regions in Australia and has a resident population of bottlenose dolphins, <i>Tursiops aduncus</i>. Evaluation of the effectiveness of any proposed management strategy requires robust population abundance estimates.

We estimated abundances of bottlenose dolphins in central eastern Moreton Bay (350 km2) using two commonly used abundance estimation methods for cetaceans: photo-identification mark-recapture and line-transect surveys. Mark-recapture data were analyzed in CAPTURE using a model that allowed capture probabilities to vary between sampling events and between individuals. Based on an estimated 76% of the population identifiable photographically, total abundance estimates were 673 ± 130 s.e. (1997) and 818 ± 152 s.e. (1998). Line-transect data, analyzed using DISTANCE, gave an abundance estimate of 407 ± 113.5 s.e. (2000). These abundance estimates are large compared with many other coastal bottlenose dolphin populations. The line-transect surveys comprised a pilot study, and the lower line-transect abundance estimate is probably best attributable to methodological issues. In particular, smaller mean group size was estimated for the line-transects surveys (2.85 ± 0.29 s.e.) than the mark-recapture surveys (4.87 ± 0.39 s.e., 1997; 5.78 ± 0.73 s.e., 1998), and line-transect group sizes were probably underestimated. In addition, the line-transect detection probability (g(o)) was assumed to be one but was almost certainly less than one. However, the possibility of an actual decline in population size cannot be ruled out. Coefficients of variation (CV) were lower for mark-recapture than for line-transect surveys, however, CVs of line-transect estimates could be lowered through improved survey design. We evaluated the power of these surveys to detect trends in potential population declines for bottlenose dolphins in Moreton Bay and make recommendations for ongoing monitoring strategies.

BGRPMN12017 Env Template MANGAN2013

Keywords: Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2013/2013

Sampling data captured in Oceanic Exploration Research Based on geochemical and physical data we identified differences in the polymetallic nodule facies within the eastern German license area. Nodules in Prospective Areas # 1 are generally larger and show significantly higher contents of Ni and Cu as compared to the nodules in Prospective Area #2 which are smaller and are characterised by higher contents of Co. Furthermore, our study shows that sediment, which mainly consists of Si and Al oxides, contributes 13 % to the dry weight of the nodules on average. The method we used is quantitative and can thus be used for habitat mapping and be related to biodiversity and other environmental parameters
