11.7 GB of raw multibeam echosounder data collected aboard the RV Investigator during the 55-day 'COOKIES' voyage in early 2026. The EM2040MK2 system operated at 400 kHz in dual swath mode, providing bathymetry, backscatter, and 58.1 GB of watercolumn data. Data were processed with sound velocity profiles, GPS tide corrections, and outlier removal by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
ACT Government's Urban Habitat and Connectivity Project maps wildlife habitat connectivity across Canberra. The dashboard presents a forward-looking Blue-Green Network vision and fragmentation mapping for seven species groups. Office of Nature Conservation developed this version 2 resource, last updated in November 2023.
A 6-year targeted survey by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency analyzed 898 samples of powdered infant formula for bacterial pathogens and hygiene indicators. Cronobacter spp. was detected in 1 of 898 samples, Salmonella spp. was not detected in 479 tested samples, and Enterobacteriaceae was detected in 2 of 898 samples. The survey period was from April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2024, and no related illnesses were reported.
2649 samples of bulb onions were tested for Salmonella spp., E. coli O157, and generic E. coli over a 3-year period from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2024. The survey was conducted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. All samples were found to be satisfactory, with no pathogens or elevated generic E. coli levels detected.
Great Britain's national forest estate contains managed recreation areas with physical boundaries. The data describes assets like car parks, play areas, buildings, and sports facilities, categorized by types such as Vehicle, Visitor area, Sports, Building, Play, Accommodation, Ponds/Lakes, and Concert. It is provided by the Scottish Government via SpatialData.gov.scot and was last updated on 2026-07-08.
National Forest Estate Recreation Points GB is a geospatial dataset cataloging physical recreation and management assets across forests in Great Britain. It likely contains point features categorized into eight types, including signage, built features, forest furniture, and play equipment. The data is used for managing Forestry Commission investments and public access to woodland areas.
891 samples of guacamole were tested over three years for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and E. coli O157. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency conducted this targeted survey from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2024. All samples were found to be satisfactory, with no pathogens or elevated generic E. coli levels detected.
147 samples of refrigerated fresh herb paste were analyzed over a 3-year period from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2024. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency tested for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., E. coli O157, and generic E. coli as a hygiene indicator. All samples were found to be satisfactory, with no pathogens or elevated generic E. coli levels detected.
1997-2006 relative abundance data for commercially exploited demersal fish species in northwestern Australia, mapped on a 0.5-degree spatial grid. The dataset is derived from commercial landings analysis by the Sea Around Us Project and includes catch contributions for 24 taxonomic groups. Further methodological details are available in a 2016 peer-reviewed publication by Bouchet et al.
Environmental data layers for baseline Antarctic seafloor biodiversity predictions compile spatial data from various sources, projected to polar stereographic (EPSG:3031) at a 2km resolution. The dataset includes layers for seafloor depth, slope, topographic position index, distance to underwater canyons, ocean surface productivity, seafloor currents, temperature, salinity, and modelled food availability. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which was last updated on 2026-07-13.
CSIRO and DETSI co-developed the Threatened Species Prioritisation Dataset - external to underpin the Threatened Species Decision Tool (TSDT). The dataset includes information such as species name, conservation status, habitat location, recovery cost-effectiveness, threats, and recovery actions. Sensitive location information for confidential species has been removed from this external version.
10-meter resolution annual elevation and exposure products for Australia's entire intertidal zone, derived from Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite archives. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, is designed to map dynamic coastal environments. It was last updated on 2026-06-23.
Mobile macroinvertebrate abundance records collected by Reef Life Survey and Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration divers along standardized 50-meter transects on shallow rocky and coral reefs. The dataset collates surveys from multiple Australian agencies and research partners to support national marine baselines and reserve management. Data are freely available for non-profit purposes, aiming to raise community awareness of marine biodiversity status.
Australia's National Environmental Research Program Tropical Ecosystems Hub funded 38 projects from 2011 to 2014. The program involved 240 scientists from five major institutions focusing on North and Far North Queensland and the Torres Strait. Research addressed management and conservation of the Great Barrier Reef, tropical rainforests, and Torres Strait land and sea assets.
An inventory of environmental and cultural data compiled for Australia's six priority offshore wind regions. The project established inventories of existing data, best-practice monitoring standards, and impact-related literature, resulting in four database inventories with over 500 publications across 16 impact types. It was conducted by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub in 2023-2024.
Australia's continental margin contains 753 submarine canyons. This dataset describes a methodology to derive estimates of potential habitat condition for pelagic, epibenthic, and benthic species using 22 environmental and ecological variables. The framework was presented at the 2017 Australian Marine Science Association Conference.
Jervis Bay, New South Wales, was the site for a series of short field surveys collecting co-located physical and biological data to research physical parameters as surrogates for benthic biodiversity in shallow soft-sediment habitats. Major outputs include high-resolution multibeam acoustic datasets, underwater video footage for habitat characterization, and co-located sediment and infauna samples. The data supports analysis of covariance between physical seabed properties and biological patterns.
The IMOS National Reef Monitoring Network sub-Facility collates shallow reef survey data from multiple contributors across Australia. The dataset contains records of bony fishes and elasmobranchs collected by Reef Life Survey and Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration divers along 50-meter transects on shallow rocky and coral reefs. Data includes species abundance, size, and biomass information from quantitative survey blocks.
A national model of boat-based recreational fishing effort (number of trips) around Australia, reported on a 5x5 nautical mile grid to a distance of 100 km from the coastline. The model allocates trips from reporting regions to boat ramps and then to adjacent marine waters. Aggregated results are available as summary plots from the Australian Ocean Data Network, with a last update timestamp of 2026-07-13.
Shallow coastal waters of the Vestfold Hills in Antarctica contain seafloor geomorphology data used as a physical framework for understanding benthic habitats. The dataset likely includes high-resolution multibeam data and bathymetry derived from multispectral satellite imagery to map habitats and identify potential areas for macroalgae communities. It was presented at the 2023 POLAR 2018 A SCAR & IASC Conference and is associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network.
