Title:
Jeff's Reef, Oculina Banks Clelia Dive 606 Narrative 2001 - Videotape and Visual Observations from Submersible Dives to the Oculina Banks Deep Sea Coral Reefs (NODC Accession 0047190)
Abstract:
These are data from one of fourteen 2001 submersible "Clelia" dives. Narratives including habitat descriptions and estimates of megafaunal species abundance were derived by J. Arcuri from videotapes recorded during the dives. The data presented in the Oculina Banks Geographic Information System (OGIS) were collected as part of a cooperative project between: the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Undersea Research Program, NOAA Fisheries (also primary sponsor of OGIS), NOAA Ocean Service, NOAA Ocean Exploration Program, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-- Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI) and Florida State University. An Oculina Geographic Information System (OGIS) provides a comprehensive, interactive data source for the Oculina Banks Habitat Area of Particular Concern (OHAPC), a marine protected area off the east coast of Florida in 70 to 120 meters of water depth. Data layers include: : multi-beam bathymetry, single-beam bathymetry, sidescan mosaics, sediment analyses, resulting interpretative maps of habitat types, video and still imagery from submersible (human occupied and remotely operated vehicles) dive transects and point counts (fish and habitat cover), and dive narratives.
Supplemental_Information:
The dive narratives include references to relevant photo/video imagery (digital mpeg, jpeg or gif files), including the camera system used. Separate metadata records describe the digital imagery captured from the videotapes. The OGIS access points for images are not precisely located, but assigned to an estimated center location of the dive. The dive narratives give a general description of the habitat type during the dive and fish populations on the whole dive. Ms. Jennifer Acuri reviewed the tapes and quantified them using level 1 REEF classification methods (http:\\www.reef.org) to estimate the dominant megafaunal (fish and invertebrates) species.

    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
    Videotapes (mini-DV) collected with an underwater 3-chip CCD color video camera, deployed from the research submersible, Clelia (owned by Harbor Branch Oceanographic nst.). Attribute table provides access to dive narrative pdf files. Fish abundances were estimated using the REEF classification method. The designations are as follows: S=single, F=few (2-10), M=many (11-100) A=abundant (>100).

    A species list is provided in the original data files. Organisms identified by family, subfamily, genus, or genus and species during the surveys are included in this metadata record using NODC methodology. Higher level taxonomy of species was completed, and species synonyms were noted, FOR THIS METADATA RECORD ONLY using the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) in conjunction with additional taxonomic and museum references as required. No originator data have been altered; higher level taxonomy is added to selected biological metadata records as an aid to search engines which utilize metadata.

Why was the data set created?

The goal of OGIS is to provide interactive access to a variety of data sources that characterize fish populations and habitat condition in the OHAPC, for use by fisheries managers, scientists and the general public. The Oculina_fish.shp dataset includes dive narratives for fourteen "Clelia" dives conducted during the 2001 "Islands in the Stream" expedition. They include information on coral cover, habitats seen, human impacts, and dominant megafaunal species visible in videotape records.

How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
    Clelia Dive 606 Videotape (source 1 of 2)
    NOAA National Ocean Service, 20021231, Videotapes from 2001 Clelia sub dives to the Oculina Banks: NOAA Undersea Research Center at UNCW, Wilmington, NC.

    This is part of the following larger work.

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
    Date: 31-Dec-2001 (process 1 of 1)
    Ms. J. Arcuri reviewed source data (videotapes and written dive logs prepared by scientists in the submersible) and created narrative files (1 per sub dive) that include: information on megafauana seen, habitat types, and other observations (e.g., trash). Estimates of fish abundance are REEF level 1 criteria (www.reef.org). Person who carried out this activity:

    Data sources used in this process:
    • Clelia Dive 606 Logs and Clelia Dive 606 Videotape
  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?
  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
    Position assigned to each point is an estimated center location of the dive. This was calculated based on the complete dive track provided by the ship. The dive track is calculated using the ship's Differential GPS and a slant-range positioning system that estimates bearing and range to the submersible; estimated accuracy of each calculated position along the dive track is plus/minus 10 meters.
  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
    Depth recorded for each dive is taken directly from the submersible's depth recorder, which measures in increments of 0.1 feet (3 cm).
  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
    Each Clelia submersible dive narrative is designed to describe dominant fish species and habitat types seen on video. All sub dives conducted during the 2001 Islands in the Stream expedition were described.
  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
    Data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
Access_Constraints:
There are no access constraints to the narrative pdf files. The source videotapes are archived at NOAA (Ocean Exploration program 301-713-9444), and may not be readily accessible.
Use_Constraints:
