Presence absence data of microplankton in the Wadden Sea off List, Sylt, North Sea.

Cymodocea nodosa sampling in the Slovenian coast in 2009-2010. This dataset contains length of the photosynthetic part of the leaf and abundance of Cymodocea nodosa. 10 samples were collected at each of the 10 locations. In each sample, the length of the photosynthetic part was measured for 60 adult/intermediate leaves for a correct assessment of the Mediterranean meadows which is of great importance for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), and the Habitat Directive (HD)

This dataset is based on the paper entitled “Calcareous Algae. Report on the Danish Oceanographical Expeditions 1908-10 to the Mediterranean and adjacent seas” published by Lemoine (1915). It comprises of 59 records of Rhodophyta (Corallinales and Peyssonneliales) collected during the 1908-9 and 1910 expeditions of Thor vessel from a wide geographical (from the Aegean Sea to the eastern Atlantic Ocean) and bathymetric range (3-98 m).

List of present/absent vegetation (seagrasses and benthic macroalgae) and their coverage of the sublittoral zone in Gazi Bay (Kenya) sampled between 24th July and 2nd September 1989. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: De Pauw, K. (1990). De vegetatie van de getijdengeul van Gazi Bay (Kenia); The vegetation of the tidal channels of Gazi Bay (Kenya). MSc Thesis. Rijksuniversiteit Gent. Faculteit Wetenschappen: Ghent. 142 pp.

Abiotic and biotic parameters measured in a field experiment to investigate the effect of predation by epibenthos on infaunal macrobenthos of a <i>Ceriops tagal</i> tropical mangrove monthly sampled between August 1992 and December 1992. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Garcia de Camargo, M. (1995). Interactions between macrobenthic epifauna and infauna in a Ceriops tagal mangrove at Gazi Bay, Kenya. MSc Thesis. Vrije Universiteit Brussel: Brussel. 64 pp.

Counts, density and biomass of macrobenthos species for 20 stations sampled in the Western Scheldt estuary on 27-28 September 1978. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Vermeulen, Y. (1980). Studie van het makrobenthos van het Westerschelde-estuarium. MSc Thesis.

Original provider: Observatoire PELAGIS UMS 3462 University La Rochelle - CNRS Dataset credits: Observatoire PELAGIS UMS 3462, University La Rochelle - CNRS -Agence des Aires Marines Protégées - Direction de l'Eau et de la Biodiversité Abstract: In order to establish a baseline map of cetaceans and other pelagic megafauna across the French EEZ, the French agency for marine protected areas (AAMP) decided to conduct a series of surveys allowing hotspots of abundance and diversity to be identified and a future monitoring scheme to be established. A dedicated aerial survey methodology, following standard protocols, was preferred to ship surveys. The general design corresponds to published protocols prepared for small cetaceans, but data for other marine mammals (large whales, sirenians), seabirds, sea-turtles, large teleosts and large elasmobranchs) are collected as well.

Chondrichthyan data collated from a variety of sources in order to record and understand the geographic distribution of chondrichthyans in Irish waters in support of the Chondrichthyan Regional Red List.

This dataset contains microzooplankton (Crustacea) data from the South Adriatic Sea from 2000.
