This dataset contains video products from R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, HOV MIR I and HOV MIR II in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone (CGFZ) from 2002 to 2003. The Census of Marine Life (CoML) was an international research effort that strived to assess and explain the diversity, distribution and abundance of marine organisms throughout the world's oceans.

This dataset contains video products from R/V Thomas G. Thompson and HOV DeepWorker 2000 in the Pacific Ocean from 2004-03-27 to 2004-04-18. During the Submarine Ring of Fire 2004 expedition, an interdisciplinary team of scientists returned to the submarine volcanoes of the Mariana Arc to explore, utilizing an underwater tethered robot (ROPOS).

This dataset contains video products from NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker, AUV Popoki, ROV Guru, and ROV Yogi, along the California, Oregon, and Washington Coasts from 2019-10-07 to 2019-10-17. This expedition is the first leg of the two cruises in the 2019 field season which are part of the Surveying Deep-sea Corals, Sponges, and Fish Habitat expedition, part of a series of multi-agency collaborations known as EXPRESS, short for EXpanding Pacific Research and Exploration of Submerged Systems.

This dataset contains video products from NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker, AUV Popoki, ROV Guru, and ROV Yogi, along the California, Oregon, and Washington Coasts from 2019-10-22 to 2019-11-07.

This data set contains oceanographic data (CTD logs, GIS data), biological tracking logs, and color underwater screen-grab images obtained from fixed system video cameras. The objective was to collect samples of corals and invertebrates, and to examine distributions and coral-invertebrate associations. Underwater images are in .jpg, .bmp, and .tif formats.

This data set contains video transects of coral reefs on the west coast of the island of Hawaii collected during February of 2017. The videos are in MP4 format and include audio of the diver's comments noting observations of fish and coral species that were observed throughout the dive. To accomplish our goal of long-term monitoring of Hawaii coral reef health, the Seattle Aquarium's life sciences department began annually monitoring tropical reef fish abundance in both marine-protected and non-protected reef systems in 2009. We document changes in fish abundance and diversity over time to better understand shifting baselines. Understanding these changes is critical to forming policies that effectively manage reef communities in this fragile ecosystem. Our method is diver-based underwater video documentation along transects similar to those established in the late 1990s and early 2000's by Drs. Brian Tissot and Bill Walsh (Tissot and Hallacher 2003 and Tissot, Walsh and Hallacher 2004). Video-based transects allow repeatable annual measurements of fish diversity and abundance and coral cover to determine significant changes in species diversity or abundance (termed shifting baselines) with minimal disturbance in the area. In addition it creates a permanent document that can be viewed over and over to be used by future researchers and resource managers. We count all fish and percent coral cover observed on the video at seven sites ranging from Kona in the south to North Kohala in the north in both protected and non-protected areas.

This dataset contains video products from R/V Atlantis and Alvin submersible from the first leg of the Gulf of Alaska 2002 Expedition headed north from Astoria, Oregon, to study several unexplored seamounts in the Gulf of Alaska to understand how they formed and determine their historic history. Additional operations included species collection, habitat characterization, and studies of benthic community structures.
