Field data collected by the Department of the Interior to examine diamond-backed terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) estimation and commercial blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) trapping. The dataset includes metadata, CSV files, and spatial information provided as raster and vector data in a geodatabase. It was last updated on March 4, -2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling species occupancy and detection based on transect and headcount data mentioned in the platform tags.
- Assessing bycatch mortality risk for terrapins from commercial crab trapping activities described in the study.
- Conducting spatial risk analysis using the provided geospatial raster and vector data.
- Analyzing detection bias and observer variables for field survey data as indicated by platform tags.
Strengths
- Includes multiple data formats: metadata, CSV, and spatial data (raster and vector) in a geodatabase.
- Data originates from the authoritative Department of the Interior.
- Platform tags indicate coverage of specific biological concepts like occupancy modeling, detection, and mortality.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
