Redmap (Victoria) - Sightings of Algae and Plant Species

Redmap is a primarily a website that invites the community to spot, log and map marine species that are uncommon in their region, or along particular parts of their coast. The information collected is mapped and displayed on the site, demonstrating, in time, how species distributions may be changing.Sightings are divided into two categories – those with a photo that can be ‘verified’ by a marine biologist, and sightings without photos that we call community sightings (anecdotal). All the information collected, with and without photos, is mapped and will be used in the following years to map out a ‘story’ of changes occurring in our marine environment.The main data collected includes the species sighted (normally selected from a list comprising preselected species of interest), the location, date/time and activity being undertaken. Other optional information gathered include biological data such as sex, size and weight and environmental data such as water depth and temperature and habitat.This record is associated with live data (and will subsequently change over time) and spatial elements have reduced accuracy. It is also subject to a three year embargo (ie. does not contain data less than three years old). If you wish to discuss obtaining a citable, static dataset, that is current and/or contains accurate spatial elements, please see Point of Contact.

Redmap主要是一个网站，邀请社区成员发现、记录并绘制其所在区域或海岸特定地段不常见的海洋物种。收集到的信息会在网站上进行映射和展示，随着时间的推移，呈现物种分布可能发生的变化。

目击记录分为两类：一类附有可由海洋生物学家‘验证’的照片；另一类无照片，我们称之为社区目击记录（轶事性）。所有收集到的信息（无论是否附有照片）都会被映射，并将在未来几年用于勾勒海洋环境变化的‘轨迹’。

主要收集的数据包括目击到的物种（通常从预先选定的关注物种列表中选择）、地点、日期/时间以及正在进行的活动。收集的其他可选信息包括生物数据（如性别、大小和重量）以及环境数据（如水深、温度和栖息地）。

该记录关联实时数据（因此会随时间变化），且空间元素的准确性有所降低。它还受三年封锁期（embargo）限制，即不包含未满三年的最新数据。若您希望讨论获取可引用的静态数据集（包含最新数据和/或准确空间元素），请参见联系人信息。
