63 species of soft corals and sea fans (Octocorallia) from the Kimberley region are documented in this historical dataset. The Western Australian Museum compiled data from three Australian natural science collections to establish baseline biodiversity knowledge. The dataset is provided by Parks Australia to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.
49 new reef and shore fish records for Western Australia, including 15 species not previously recorded in Australian waters. The data originates from three expeditions between 1991 and 1994 across the Kimberley coast, Monte Bello Islands, and offshore reefs. Parks Australia provides this record to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.
40.2% of marine turtle nests on Pennefarther Beach were lost during a 49-day study in 2007, with feral pig predation accounting for 89.6% of all mortality. The dataset documents laying and mortality patterns for flatback, olive ridley, and hawksbill turtle nests. It was produced by Parks Australia and published via data.gov.au.
Twenty-nine juvenile southern bluefin tuna were implanted with acoustic tags to study their movement in relation to an upwelling event in the Great Australian Bight. Fifteen individuals were detected 941 times over 62 days, with presence linked to water temperature changes. Parks Australia provides this dataset, originally from the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas, to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.
From August 2011 to December 2014, an array of 48 acoustic receivers on 17 reefs offshore from Townsville, Queensland, tracked 14 species of reef fish and sharks. The dataset, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes descriptions of the array, tagged individuals, and detection events. Detection range was approximately 400-900 meters per receiver, and transmitters emitted signals every 2 minutes.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada published four digitized maps in June 2026, recreating a 1999 ecological report. The maps summarize knowledge on spawning, migration, and nursery grounds for herring and other fisheries in the Grand Manan, Bay of Fundy, and Gulf of Maine region. Data was compiled from interviews with active and retired fishermen combined with a survey of scientific and historical information.
The dataset contains unstandardised occurrence records of bony fishes and elasmobranchs collected by divers from the Reef Life Survey and Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration. Data is collated by the IMOS National Reef Monitoring Network sub-Facility from multiple contributors, including state management agencies. It supersedes a previous collection whose data provision stopped in June 2021.
Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority zoning data effective 1st July 2004, derived from the 2003 Zoning Plan. The dataset resulted from the Representative Areas Programme, a systematic planning effort between 1999 and 2004 to increase biodiversity protection. It defines multiple-use zones, including no-take 'Green Zones', to manage activities and protect the marine environment.
ACTGOV Plant Community Type (PCT) polygons define the type and extent of known vegetation communities within the Australian Capital Territory. The dataset, created by the ACT Government, includes ecological condition zones assessed against benchmark thresholds from the EPBC Act and ACT Nature Conservation Act. It was last updated on 2026-06-27.
WFD Cycle2 TraC seagrass classification is a retired dataset from the UK Environment Agency containing classification data for seagrass beds in transitional and coastal water bodies. The data includes metrics on seagrass diversity, density, and meadow extent processed through the SAILOR tool to produce Ecological Quality Ratios and a status classification. This dataset was superseded by a newer record in 2024.
WFD Cycle 2 lake salinity classification is a retired dataset from the UK Environment Agency. It contains classification data for salinity in lakes, using electrical conductivity as a proxy. The dataset is a subset of the WFD Classification Status Cycle 2 and was last updated on 2026-07-17.
A retired dataset containing classification data for macro-invertebrates in lakes, superseded by a newer record. It was produced by the Environment Agency and includes metrics like the Lake Acidification Macro Invertebrate Metric (LAMM) and Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR) scores. The data is formatted in XLSX files.
Ecological status classifications for water bodies, recorded as high, good, moderate, poor, or bad. The dataset is composed of up to five different assessment types, including biological quality elements and physico-chemical standards. The data is provided by the UK Environment Agency and was last updated in July 2026.
Environment Agency data classifies the ecological status of transitional and coastal waters based on benthic invertebrate communities. Metrics on species composition and disturbance sensitivity are calculated to produce an Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR), resulting in a Water Framework Directive classification of High, Good, Moderate, Poor, or Bad. This dataset has been retired and superseded by a newer record.
Environment Agency data classifies river water bodies into High, Good, Moderate, Poor, and Bad categories based on temperature. Classifications are derived from spot sampling monitoring data assessed against environmental quality standards. This dataset is part of the Water Framework Directive Cycle 2 physico-chemical classification and has been retired, superseded by a newer record.
United Kingdom river phytobenthos classification data for Water Framework Directive (WFD) Cycle 2. The dataset contains ecological status classifications (High, Good, Moderate, Poor, Bad) derived from Trophic Diatom Index (TDI) scores and Ecological Quality Ratios (EQRs). It was produced by the Environment Agency using the DARLEQ2 and VISCOUS classification tools.
Fish classification data for rivers under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The dataset contains metrics on fish composition, abundance, and prevalence processed through the FCS2 classification tool, resulting in an Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR) and a final status class (High, Good, Moderate, Poor, Bad). It was produced by the Environment Agency and is provided in XLSX format, with a last update recorded as 2026-07-17.
UK river water bodies are classified for ammonia levels under the Water Framework Directive. The dataset contains summary classification data derived from spot sampling monitoring, assessed against environmental quality standards. It was produced by the Environment Agency and is superseded by a newer record as of the last update in July 2026.
This dataset contains classification data for Total Phosphorus in lakes, used to determine ecological status under the Water Framework Directive. Observed phosphorus concentrations are compared with reference boundaries to assign a classification of High, Good, Moderate, Poor, or Bad. The data is a retired subset of the 'WFD Classification Status Cycle 2' record, provided by the Environment Agency.
A retired subset of the WFD Classification Status Cycle 2 dataset contains classification data for phytobenthos in lakes. The data is used to calculate a Trophic Diatom Index (TDI) and an Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR) to classify water bodies as High, Good, Moderate, Poor, or Bad for the Water Framework Directive. The dataset is provided by the Environment Agency with a copyright date of 2015.
