Data from 2022 experiments on the Great Barrier Reef testing selective breeding and symbiont inoculation to enhance coral heat tolerance. The research, contributed to the Australian Ocean Data Network, involved adult Acropora spathulata colonies from Davies and Moore Reefs and their offspring, with heat stress assays conducted at the National SeaSimulator facility.
Inshore reefs of the Great Barrier Reef have been monitored since 2005. The dataset, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, documents trends in benthic reef communities, including percent cover of corals and macroalgae, juvenile coral densities, and coral disease prevalence. Data collection involves sampling at 2m and 5m depths across multiple reef locations within four Natural Resource Management regions.
2024-2025 project data from the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub maps the distribution of pygmy blue whales. The Australian Ocean Data Network produced spatial layers combining satellite tracking, aerial surveys, and habitat models to assess cumulative risks from offshore renewable energy and other human pressures.
A project to develop an early warning system for box jellyfish stings on the Great Barrier Reef. The project compiled an open database from sting records, hospital data, and surf lifesaving information to create real-time forecasting models based on environmental conditions. This work was conducted by CSIRO and partners from 2016 to 2018.
A workshop framework for future research on box-jellyfish presence and risk in the Great Barrier Reef, developed under the NESP TWQ Project 3.6. The project engaged key researchers and stakeholders to define research scope, identify knowledge gaps, and create a framework to guide future investment. It was associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in July 2026.
The austral summers of 1997/1998 and 1998/1999 provide the temporal coverage for this dataset on pelagic copepod community composition near Australia's North West Cape. Over 120 species of copepods were identified from samples taken at 8 stations along a 36km cross-shelf transect. Data includes species abundances, biomass, and environmental variables like temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels, collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
29 tree species were measured across three common garden plantations with mean annual temperatures of 13.7 °C, 22.1 °C, and 25.5 °C in the Colombian Andes. The dataset includes high-resolution leaf thermocouple data, optical properties, thermotolerance metrics like T50 and PSII efficiency, and leaf angle measurements. Data were collected by the Environmental Information Data Centre during campaigns in January-February 2024 and April 2025.
Queensland Herbarium's 'Herbrecs' database provides names, distributions, and statuses for plants, algae, fungi, lichens, and cyanobacteria in Queensland. The dataset is published by the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation and was last updated in June 2026. It is available in CSV and PDF formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A database stores catch sampling and targeted research data for key scalefish species collected since the late 1990s. The dataset includes commercial catch sampling and opportunistic collections, providing size and age structure information for catches. Data for species like striped and bastard trumpeter have been integrated from historic databases to provide a complete record.
January 02 to February 25, 2026 magnetometer readings collected during the RV Investigator's 'Cook Ice Ecosystems and Sediments' voyage from Hobart. The data consists of 19 raw files totaling 326 MB, acquired by a SeaSPY2 Overhauser sensor towed astern of the ship. No processing has been conducted on this data, which is stored by CSIRO.
Project 3.9 of the NESP TWQ Hub focused on developing an Indigenous Engagement and Participation Strategy for sea country management in 2015. The project involved consultations with key institutions like the Torres Strait Regional Authority and GBR Traditional Owner organizations. It aimed to inform future research priorities and co-management frameworks through local Indigenous community liaison officers.
Scientific data evaluating the success of funded coastal wetland system repair projects across Great Barrier Reef catchments. The project was conducted by James Cook University in partnership with Natural Resource Management groups between 2017 and 2019. It uses advanced hydrological and ecological techniques to assess repair efforts and inform government and private investment.
Bird species data from the UK Environmental Change Network's lowland terrestrial sites, collected using the British Trust for Ornithology's Common Bird Census methodology. The protocol involves mapping bird contacts from a series of visits to estimate territories, with annual data covering variable date ranges per site from 1971 to 2007.
A 2016-2018 project developed a water quality indicator based on benthic irradiance for the Great Barrier Reef. The project, associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network, created a new remote sensing algorithm and quantified near-daily benthic irradiance over 14 years. It aimed to establish irradiance thresholds for ecosystem health and assess region-specific drivers like river discharge.
AIMS long-term monitoring data on the effects of zoning on coral reef and fish communities in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The dataset covers one survey trip in July-October 2015 to the southern GBR, including Capricorn-Bunker and Swain Reefs, using the RV Cape Ferguson. The reefs were of interest as they were recovering from severe storms, including TC Hamish in 2009.
Scientific split-beam echosounder data collected during the RV Investigator voyage IN2026_V01, titled 'Cook Ice Ecosystems and Sediments (COOKIES).' The voyage was conducted by the Australian Ocean Data Network between January 02 and February 25, 2026, departing from and returning to Hobart. The dataset comprises 2,435 raw data files totaling 231 GB, with no post-processing applied.
Northern Great Barrier Reef data from a project supporting Indigenous co-management and livelihoods by scoping culturally-appropriate ecosystem services products focused on water quality. The project was conducted by CSIRO and collaborators between 2016 and 2017. It aimed to develop innovative water quality ecosystem service products suitable for the region's geographic, demographic, and market conditions.
A survey conducted between August 7th and 16th, 2012, collected visual data of benthic habitats in the Solitary Islands Key Ecological Feature. The work was a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage under the National Environmental Research Programme. It includes forward-facing stereo and mono video, downward-facing stills, and GPS/USBL positional information.
24 UK biodiversity indicators were published by JNCC on behalf of Defra, with the latest publication on 19 January 2016. This indicator, D1b, provides estimates of annual greenhouse gas removals by UK forests from 1990 to 2013, derived from the UK's Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry greenhouse gas inventory. The data quantifies the carbon sequestration ecosystem service provided by forests, including removals of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent.
London Fire Brigade data on non-fire 'special service' incidents involving animal rescues, published by the London Borough of Barnet. The dataset includes incidents from January 2009 onward and is updated annually. Information for each incident likely contains location details, date/time, and a notional cost calculation.
