Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) surveys of stable isotope ratios and concentrations of important elements in the tissues of primary producers and consumers. The data include: * Stable isotope ratios (d15N and d13C) of muscle tissue of selected species of fishes, of leaves of seagrasses and mangroves, and of thalli of macroalgae * Concentrations of nitrogen and carbon (%N and %C) and C:N ratios for the same samples. These data are an output of the Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) Coral Reef Health Theme.

Fish and shark assemblage data are being obtained from the analysis of Stereo-BRUV footage captured in May 2014. Data is comprised of raw camera output stream files (.MTS) for 272 Stereo-BRUV drops in shallow water (~10m) between Exmouth and Dampier, Western Australia. Files are less than 1.9GB and total approximately 10TB. Videos are structured within Stereo-BRUV drops (identified with an OpCode i.e. NCB1-NCB272) with a left and right camera folder within each drop. Videos are lodged with the iVEC Data Store - https://data.ivec.org The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits. The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely: Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers. Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels. Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

Existing satellite data were analysed in order to characterise seasonal and inter-annual variation in remotely-sensed chlorophyll-a. To maximize spatial and temporal coverage we used merged data from SeaWIFS, MERIS, and MODIS produced by the ESA using the GSM algorithm (Maritorena and Siegel, 2005; Globcolour Project). We merged normalized water-leaving radiances (not individual chl-a algorithm outputs) within 4.6 km grid over a period of more than 16 years. Monthly averages of chlorophyl-a concentration (mg m-3) are presented. Attempts were made to correlate the data with Solander Underway data. These data were not validated. Encrypted ncdf4 files can be found at the Perth Pawsey Computer centre.
