Manatee tracking, sighting and environmental data from the Northern Gulf of Mexico, 2013-2019

공공데이터포털

Data sets collected for manatee movement and habitat research in the Northern Gulf of Mexico from 2013-2019. These include manatee GPS tracking, manatee sightings, aquatic vegetation from manatee use areas, and environmental data (salinity and bathymetry at vegetation sampling sites).

Sightings data for a note on the "First Documentation of Long-Distance Travel by a Florida Manatee to the Mexican Caribbean"

공공데이터포털

West Indian manatees (Trichechus manatus) are separated into two allopatric subspecies: the Florida manatee (T. m. latirostris) and the Antillean manatee (T. m. manatus). In the winter of 2020-2021, an adult manatee was sighted off the coast of Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, in areas where Antillean manatees are not typically seen. The individual had distinct watercraft scars on its body, which were matched using photo-identification to a known male Florida manatee (PE424) that had been repeatedly photographed in Florida since 1998. The data presented are the verified photo-documented sightings history of PE424 from Florida and Mexico.

Morphological measurements of Antillean manatees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

공공데이터포털

The data were collected by U.S.G.S. biologists and their partners during several field trips from March 2013 to April 2014 in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Data were collected during the manatee health assessments. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Sirenia Project is a federal research effort focusing on manatee biology and ecology with a long history of studies in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the international arena. The status of the Antillean manatee in Cuba is not well known. Manatee population census techniques are mostly prohibited due to regulation of the airspace, but it is speculated that the population of manatee in Cuba is not very large. Manatee captures will enable health assessments and radio tagging to determine movement patterns.

Submerged aquatic vegetation and environmental data for coastal areas from Texas through Alabama, 2013-2015

공공데이터포털

This projects primary goal was to provide data on occurrence and abundance of SAV resources within the fresh to saline coastal waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico, and to relate these findings to key environmental variables. The data set provides the collected data from 2013, 2014 and 2015 on site location, discrete water quality, aquatic vegetation cover and biomass by species. The same 384 sites were collected each year, between June and September.

Gulf of Mexico hydrographic and cetacean data from Texas A&M from 1987-04-02 to 1995-08-30 (NCEI Accession 9500157)

공공데이터포털

The dataset contains Texas A&M University (TAMU) Gulfcet CTD; XBT; and distribution and abundance of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) data collected along the continental slope in the north-central and western Gulf of Mexico. The data was collected over 9 years spanning from April 2, 1987 through August 30, 1995. Additionally, a 46 cruise data archive of TAMU hydrography asked for by NODC was sent by Dr. Douglas C. Biggs. David Brandon sent NODC GulfCet data as a companion data set. NODC agreed to put this data on a CD-ROM. The data files are divided into two data groups: TAMU-GULFCET and TAMU-OCEANOGRAPHY. Data are reported from 256 CTD and 580 XBT stations in the TAMU-GULFCET section and from 695 CTD and 707 XBT stations in the TAMU-OCEANOGRAPHY section.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast (TX, MS, AL, and FL) Macroclimate Vegetation Data Section 1 (2013-2014)

공공데이터포털

The northern Gulf of Mexico coast spans two major climate gradients and represents an excellent natural laboratory for developing climate-influenced ecological models. In this project, we used these zones of remarkable transition to develop macroclimate-based models for quantifying the regional responses of coastal wetland ecosystems to climate variation. In addition to providing important fish and wildlife habitat and supporting coastal food webs, these coastal wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services including clean water, stable coastlines, food, recreational opportunities, and stored carbon. Our objective was to examine and forecast the effects of macroclimatic drivers on wetland ecosystem structure and function in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
