Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) commissioned a seabed habitat survey in May 2008. The survey aimed to identify and delineate Annex I habitats, using broad-scale and fine-scale acoustic techniques like sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry, along with ground-truthing via video, stills, and grab sampling. The data covers two Areas of Search (AoS) in the mid-Irish Sea and Solan Bank.
A three-year Broadscale Mapping Project developed methodologies for mapping seabed habitats and biota in the Firth of Lorn. The project was funded by a consortium including the Crown Estate, Countryside Council for Wales, English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage, and Newcastle University, with support from the European Commission's Life programme. Maps were created using acoustic remote sensing combined with biological sampling and image classification techniques.
Wall plant inventories for canal walls, quay walls, bridges, locks, and ground in Amsterdam, conducted biennially. The data focuses on Flora and Faunawet Protected Plants and includes attention species that define the city's canal walls. It is published by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties under a CC-PDM-1.0 license.
A geospatial dataset depicting a robust ecological connection, likely a wildlife corridor or habitat network, as defined in the Provincial Environment Plan Drenthe II from July 2004. The data originates from the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and is provided as map images in PNG format within a ZIP archive. The specific trace of the connection has been completed in more detail.
Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties provides a dataset defining and locating Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). The data describes facilities where sewage is purified to effluent quality for discharge into surface water, and may include sludge treatment. It is published under a CC0-1.0 license.
Geoscience Australia survey 266 provides preliminary results from a 2004 investigation of seabed geomorphology and sedimentary processes near Turnagain Island in central Torres Strait. The survey was part of a larger field-based program managed by the Reef CRC to identify physical and biological processes, motivated by threats of seagrass dieback affecting dugong, turtle, and indigenous communities.
A flythrough movie shows the bathymetry of the shelf surrounding Lord Howe Island, New South Wales, with examples of seabed habitats and biota. The bathymetric image is derived from merged grids (8 m and 40 m resolution) incorporating multibeam sonar data collected in 2008, legacy sonar data, and satellite-derived bathymetry. The dataset is associated with the Marine Biodiversity Research Hub, funded through the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities programme.
Photographic slides document the Common Murre Restoration Project, an effort to reestablish a breeding colony of nearly 3,000 birds on Devil's Slide Rock in central California. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex collected these images during aerial surveys from the mid-1980s onward. A NOAA-funded project scanned 35mm slides from 2006, creating archival TIFF and web-access JPEG images.
Hawaii's Division of Aquatic Resources conducted underwater visual surveys of fish stocks at 41 sites on Oahu and Hawaii. The dataset contains records from 1952 at Kealakekua Bay and from 1968 at other sites, ending in 2000. Biologists and technicians gathered this data to monitor reef fish populations over decades.
Willapa Bay, Washington, is the focus of this 1995 benthic habitat dataset, which maps submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) using 295 true-color aerial photographs. The Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce (CREST) led the project, with field verification from Oregon State University and the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Data were digitized into GIS shapefiles following the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol.
NOAA_NCEI collected oceanographic data during the EX1305 expedition on NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the North Atlantic Ocean. The dataset covers a stratified survey of up to 120 stations across the Middle Atlantic Bight, Southern New England, Georges Bank, and the Gulf of Maine. This cruise represented the first operational deployment of new technologies like the Imaging FlowCytobot and Video Plankton Recorder in these ecosystems.
Laboratory analyses of water, sediment, and marine organism samples collected from three vessels in the North Atlantic Ocean. Data processed to the NODC F144 standard format includes chemical concentrations, environmental conditions, and sample collection metadata. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the authoritative organization for this dataset.
Yang Chu's dataset on figshare contains experimental results measuring pest and disease impacts in young citrus orchards under different ground cover treatments. The data, last updated in April 2026, includes species richness counts and leaf damage metrics for treatments like planted ground cover (PGC) and natural vegetation cover (NVC). It is a 61.0 KB XLSX file released under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
NODC Accession 0057025 contains a digital collection of aerial photographs documenting the Common Murre Restoration Project in central California. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service created these images by scanning 35mm color slides taken during 2005 aerial surveys of Devil's Slide Rock to monitor seabird colony restoration efforts. This dataset provides a visual baseline for assessing the project's efficacy in reestablishing a colony that once held nearly 3,000 common murres.
Laboratory analyses of water, sediment, and marine organisms for toxic substances and pollutants in the Beaufort Sea. Data is formatted to the NODC F144 standard, covering a focused 17-day survey in September 1984. The dataset was processed by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA's Oculina Geographic Information System (OGIS) contains multi-beam bathymetry, sidescan mosaics, sediment analyses, and habitat maps for a protected deep-water coral area off Florida. Data layers also include video, still imagery, and dive narratives from human-occupied and remotely operated submersible transects. This dataset resulted from a cooperative project involving NOAA, USGS, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, and Florida State University.
312 km2 of seafloor bathymetry data was collected for Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs within the Lord Howe Marine Park. Geoscience Australia led the survey from January 31 to February 6, 2020, in collaboration with several research institutions and Parks Australia. The data provides baseline information for benthic habitats to support a 10-year environmental monitoring plan.
Geomorphological Evolution of Lord Howe Island and Carbonate Production at the Latitudinal Limit to Reef Growth is a dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network. It describes the island's volcanic structure, Quaternary carbonate sediments, and its position as the southernmost coral reef in the Pacific. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.
Geomorphological data describes the volcanic structure, carbonate sediment deposits, and erosional landforms of Lord Howe Island. The dataset includes information on the island's position at the latitudinal limit to coral reef growth and the southernmost Pacific fringing reef. It was provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
The NR14 project compiled coastal geoscientific information for developing a land use strategy for Cape York Peninsula. It provides a methodology statement, data analysis results, and completed coastal geoscience GIS coverages. The project was undertaken by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-10.
