Abstract:
The Hawaiian Islands Cetacean Ecosystem Assessment Survey (HICEAS) was a collaborative project between the Southwest  and Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Centers  during which two NOAA ships (MacArthur II and Oscar Elton Sette) conducted line-transect surveys throughout the entire Hawaii exclusive economic zone (EEZ) over four months (August - December 2010). This dataset represents the surveys (4 Legs) aboard the MacArthur II that began and ended in LaJolla, CA (4 August - 10 December). There were 290 cetacean sightings which included 22 identified species as well as unidentified dolphins, large whales and beaked whales.

Purpose:
HICEAS 2010 was the second Hawaii EEZ-wide survey. The sighting data were used to estimate the abundance and distribution of cetaceans in Hawaiian waters (Bradford et al. 2017, 2021).

Supplemental information:
Data were collected under NMFS permit 14097.

The data included here are the sightings and on-effort tracks recorded within WinCruz survey software and extracted from the QA/QC'd DASALL file using the R package swfscDAS (https://smwoodman.github.io/swfscDAS).

MarineGEO Global Seagrass Habitat Monitoring Data

Keywords: Samplingevent
Temporal coverage: 2021/2022

This dataset contains seagrass time-series monitoring data collected by the Smithsonian Institution’s MarineGEO (Marine Global Earth Observatory) and its network partners. The dataset includes measurements on seagrass density, seagrass cover, and epifaunal invertebrates. The data is collected using MarineGEO’s standard survey design for sampling seagrass habitats.
MarineGEO seagrass monitoring at each site is conducted along three 50-m fixed transects intended to be permanent and sampled regularly (usually annually). Transects are located parallel to shore and along the shallow (inshore), middle (interior), and deep (offshore) parts of the seagrass bed, although variation can occur due to local site conditions. The seagrass cover measurements are taken every 4 meters along the transect (n = 12 per transect), the seagrass density measurements are taken alongside the cover measurements at every other replicate (n = 6 per transect), and epifaunal community samples are collected every 8 meters (n = 3 per transect).
Seagrass cover is measured by placing a quadrat (recommended size is 50 x 50 cm) alongside the transect line and estimating the cover of each seagrass species, other sessile organisms, and bare substratum. Seagrass density is measured by counting the number of seagrass shoots within a quadrat (recommended size is 25 x 25 cm). Epifauna samples are collected by randomly selecting an area ~ 1 meter to any side of the transect and quickly removing seagrass shoots with associated epifauna into a mesh bag; the animals are later identified in a laboratory by the data collectors. All data has undergone QA/QC by MarineGEO Central at the Smithsonian after submission by MarineGEO partners.
Note that the dataset may include submerged aquatic vegetation (not technically seagrass) in brackish to tidal freshwater sites collected with the MarineGEO seagrass protocol. This dataset will be updated on an on-going basis.

Four different depth layers were
surveyed:  0-3m, 5-10 m, 11-20 m, 21-30 m. So far, the ClimateFish database includes fish counts collected along 3142 transects carried out in seven Mediterranean countries between 2009 and 2021, for a total number of 101'771 observed individuals belonging to the 15 fish species.
Pacific Region Commercial Salmon Fishery In-season Catch Estimates

Keywords: Chinook Salmon, Fish, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Fisheries management, Fisheries resources, Catch Reporting, Gill Net, In-season Estimates, Commercial Salmon Fishery, Fishery Operations System (FOS), Coho Salmon, Fisheries, Troll, British Columbia, Oncorhynchus, Pacific Salmon, Events, Occurrences, PFMA, Pacific Fishery Management Areas (PFMA's), Marine conservation areas, Chum Salmon, Pacific, Pacific Ocean, Resources management, Scientific information, Logbook, Seine Net, Extended Measurement Or Fact
Temporal coverage: 2004/2020

The Fishery Operations System (FOS) is the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) centralized Oracle database that holds commercial salmon fishery catch, effort and biological data. The FOS database was built in 2001 and continues to be the current repository for all data pertaining to DFO’s Pacific Region Commercial Salmon Logbook program.The Commercial Salmon Logbook program was initiated in 1998 with fleet wide participation made mandatory during the 2001 season. The program requires all commercial salmon fishers to record their daily catch and effort information in a harvest logbook and to subsequently report it to DFO using a service provider within deadlines defined in the conditions of licence. A portion of the information collected from the logbook program contains fisher personal information and is therefore protected and un-releasable. Fishery Managers use the fisher reported catch and effort, in addition to information collected from other sources such as overflights, to calculate in-season catch estimates. NOTES: This report contains ONLY commercial catch estimates — it DOES NOT include testfishing, recreational or First Nations data. These figures are preliminary in-season catch estimates and are subject to change. Consult the applicable Fishery Manager or Biologist as to the status of particular catch estimates. All catch estimates are reported in pieces (numbers of fish). Catch estimates include adults and jacks combined ("jacks" are small but sexually mature early-return males).

Abstract:The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) project was designed to develop and promote the application of acoustic tagging technology to study the life history of Pacific salmon and other species migrating along the continental shelf of western North America. POST envisioned the eventual creation of a permanent continental-scale telemetry system, however, during its existence more limited pilot-scale arrays were deployed, primarily concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. These included several acoustic receiver curtains between Vancouver Island and the mainland, creating an excellent means by which to monitor coastal marine animal migrations, especially by juvenile salmonids (smolts) migrating to sea (see projects QCS, JDF and NSOG). In addition to arrays on the continental shelf, POST equipment was deployed upstream and in the estuaries of several major salmon-producing rivers.  POST arrays, and POST data, were incorporated into the OTN in 2012. The integration of these arrays, their equipment and the associated animal tagging projects into OTN's global network allowed for international, widespread monitoring of important species within the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Tracking data generated from the POST arrays can be applied to the development of fishery management policies aimed at the sustainable harvest of resources, and to the understanding and conservation of other marine and diadromous species. Additional details about specific tracking projects which were originally a part of POST are only available by contacting the associated researcher.
NAFO/ICNAF - Environmental Surveys - NORWESTLANT 1-3, 1963: Marine mammals observations

Keywords: Observation, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: null/null

In January 1949, as a result of continued concern over declining abundance of stocks throughout the Northwest Atlantic, the International Convention for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (ICNAF) was established.  The stated purpose of the Convention was the investigation, protection and conservation of the fisheries. For a history of this organization please refer to Emory D. Anderson J. yyyy

The ICNAF NORWESTLANT Surveys took place during April to July 1963.  The dates of the three surveys which were carried out were as follows:
NORWESTLANT 1: 31 March - 9 May
NORWESTLANT 2: 30 April - 30 June
NORWESTLANT 3: 30 June - 3 August

The object of the study was to give an account of the distribution of zooplankton which may be relevant to the distribution and survival of cod and redfish larvae. The dataset concerns a very wide area and is not intended as a comprehensive review of the zooplankton. In addition to plankton distribution the expedition reports also contains a short section on marine mammal observations.

This resource contains data extracts from the published report for marine mammal observations recorded by the ships officers and scientists.
