Redmap (Western Australia) - 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是一款主要面向社区的专业网站，旨在邀请社区成员识别、记录并标注在其所在区域或特定沿岸区域较为罕见的海洋物种。所收集的信息将在网站上进行可视化制图展示，随时间推移，以此展现物种分布的动态变化趋势。

该平台将目击记录划分为两类：一类为附带照片、可经海洋生物学家验证的正式记录，另一类为未附带照片的社区目击记录（传闻类记录）。所有收集到的记录，无论是否附带照片，均会被标注至地图中，并将在未来数年用于梳理海洋环境变化的完整脉络。

平台收集的核心数据包括目击物种（通常从预设的目标物种种选列表中选取）、目击地点、日期/时间以及当时开展的活动。此外还可收集其他可选信息，涵盖生物学数据（如物种性别、体型、体重）与环境数据（如水深、水温及栖息生境）。

本记录关联实时数据（后续将随时间动态更新），且空间要素的精度有所降低。同时该数据集受三年数据禁运限制，即不包含三年内的最新数据。若您希望获取可引用的静态数据集（该数据集为最新版本且/或包含精确空间要素），请参阅指定联络人信息。
