Macro- and megafauna from the North Aegean Sea from 1997-1998

Summary:
Samples of macro- and megafauna were collected in the North Aegean Sea, between 1997 and 1998. This dataset then served as a basis to describe the diversity, spatial and temporal variability and trophic relationships of different taxonomic groups inhabiting hard substrates.

Macroalgae of the Crimean coastal zone (Black Sea, 1967-2007)

Summary:
The main aim of the dataset is preparing the available data by diversity of the Black Sea macroalgae, which were collected by the scientists from IBSS around Crimean coast of the Ukrainian shelf during the last 40 years. The species diversity is described from 43 transects, 180 stations at 0,1 - 25 m depth. The data about location, region, sampling equipment are given for each macroalgae species. These data are available now for scientists, professionals and they can be used in various purposes.

Macroalgal communities of intertidal rock pools in Portugal

Summary:
Data were collected as part of the project “Distribution, use and conservation of the botanical heritage of the Northern Coast of Portugal: a sustainable development approach for a (future) ‘Natura 2000’ site”. The general aim of the data collection was to characterise the macroalgal community composition and variability in rock pools along the northwest coast of Portugal.

Macrobenthos data from the Romanian part of the Black Sea between 2003 and 2011

Summary:
The dataset comprises data on the substrate type, temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation, and macrozoobenthos from samples colleceted at several stations in the Black Sea in 2003–2011. The sediment samples were taken with a Van-Veen grab. The sediment was preserved in buffered formalin 4% , then sieved through a 1 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.10 mm mesh sieve and subsequently stored in 70% ethanol. The database comprises taxonomic and quantitative data (density and wet weight biomass per square meter).

Summary:
The macrozoobentos dataset includes a number of 56 samples collected on the Longitudinal profiles (L) of the Romanian littoral between 8 m to 42m depths. Van Veen grab with a sampling area of 1/20 m2 was employed as a macrozoobenthos sampler. One replicate  was collected at every station. Sampling was done in autumn period (September, October).The samples have been analyzed qualitative (number of species) and quantitative (densities and biomasses). The macroinvertebrates have been identified at species level.

Marine data from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Technical Support (Research & Monitoring) Contracts, Wales

Summary:
This dataset is comprised of marine benthic surveys created by Natural Resources Wales' (and previously the Countryside Council for Wales') technical support (research and monitoring) contracts since 1993. The surveys focus on benthic habitats (often referred to as 'biotopes') in intertidal, inshore (typically within 3nm) and subtidal areas. These surveys include the capture of many species records. Only the species records are available on the NBN Gateway. Some of the surveys were originally stored in the MNCR (Marine Nature Conservation Review) database created by JNCC but then transfered to CCW. (However, none were carried out as part of JNCC's MNCR officical survey programme). Original copies of all the surveys are now held in NRW's Marine Recorder database.

Marine mammal monitoring from coastal sites in Cardigan Bay, UK, 2004-2009

Summary:
Since 1994, Ceredigion County Council and a network of shore-based volunteer observes have monitored levels of boat traffic and the occurrence of bottlenose dolphins at seven sites on the coast of Cardigan Bay, Wales. We report high rates of site use and site occupancy by this species during the summer. Although trends in site use may not reflect population trends in the wider region, these data were consistent with recent abundance estimates that indicate that the number of bottlenose dolphins using Cardigan Bay is stable or slightly increasing.

Cardigan Bay is a Special Area of Conservation for bottlenose dolphins and other species and habitats. Recreational boating is known to have the potential to cause disturbance to cetaceans and this monitoring study provides data that underpins the effectiveness of management.

Mesozooplankton North Adriatic-Gulf of Trieste LTER time-series

Summary:
The first “organized” and regular biological observations at the time series station C1 in the Gulf of Trieste, North Adriatic Sea, date back to the early 1970s and were initiated by the University of Trieste. A regular monthly sampling for hydrological, chemical as well as biological (phytoplankton and zooplankton in several size classes) analysis began later, in 1986. The time series station C1, initiated by the University of Trieste, was later taken care by the Laboratory of Marine Biology of Trieste after its formal institution in December 1979 and, since October 2005, by the Department of Biological Oceanography, now Division of Oceanography (OCE) of OGS, Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale of Trieste.

A regular monthly sampling at the time series station C1 in the Gulf of Trieste, North Adriatic Sea began in 1986. The time series station C1 was initiated by the University of Trieste, and was later taken care by the Laboratory of Marine Biology of Trieste after its formal institution in December 1979 and, since October 2005, by the Department of Biological Oceanography, now Division of Oceanography (OCE) of OGS, Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e Geofisica Sperimentale of Trieste.

Monitoring of birds in the Voordelta

Summary:
Port of Rotterdam is carrying out the Project Mainport Development Rotterdam, PMR, expanding the port with 1,000 hectares through suppletion of sand in the shallow coastal Voordelta area in the North Sea. As the Voordelta has the status of protected nature reserve (Natura2000 area), the loss of habitat, caused by the expansion of the port, must be compensated for. As part of the compensating measures, the Dutch national government established a series of protected areas in the Voordelta region and is following the effects of these measures.

This dataset contains aerial counts of birds in the “Voordelta”. The set exists of a pre-protected status data (2003 – 2007) and a post-protected status (currently still under embargo).

National Inventory of the Natural Heritage: Benthos Data from the Network of Marine Stations and Observatories

Summary:
RESOMAR (Réseau des Stations et Observatoires Marins) is a network of marine stations and observatories along the coasts of France. All benthic data collected in the coastal and littoral ecosystems at these stations are stored in the RESOMAR Benthos Database. The purpose of these data is to use them scientifically to address issues of marine conservation at the national level. The data were collected by researchers located at the marine stations and observatories along the French coasts. The Benthos Database contains about 300.000 species occurrences. The database also contains historical records. Currently (January 2013), the Inventaire National du Patrimoine Naturel (INPN) shows only part of the database, i.e. only the data on decapod crustaceans (species, location, site, date and observer name).

National Inventory of the Natural Heritage: Seahorse and pipefish observations in the French metropolitan area: Program Hippo-ATLAS

Summary:
The goal of the Hippo-ATLAS is to collect observation data on species of seahorse and pipefish along the coasts of Europe and the Mediterranean. This project aims to determine their distribution, to create a photographic database to study and illustrate their variability, and to collect data about their habitat to better understand their lifestyle and their vulnerability. The observation data are collected by divers, fishermen and amateur naturalists. An input tool is available online on the website of Peau-Bleue Association. On 01/01/2011, the database contained about 220 records. This is supplemented annually. In addition to the essential data (species, location, date, observer), the following information can be documented for every observation: gender, size, color, depth, substrate.
