Redmap (Queensland) - Sightings of Mammal 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 是一个主要面向公众的网站，旨在邀请社区成员发现、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绘图展示，随时间推移清晰呈现物种分布的变化情况。
目击记录分为两类：一类是附带可由海洋生物学家“验证”的照片的记录，另一类是未附带照片的记录，我们称之为社区目击记录（即传闻类记录）。所有收集到的信息，无论是否附带照片，均会被标注绘图，并将在未来数年中用于梳理海洋环境中正在发生的变化脉络。
主要收集的数据包括目击物种（通常从预先选定的目标物种列表中勾选）、观测地点、日期/时间以及当时开展的活动。其他可选收集的信息包括生物学数据（如性别、体型与体重）以及环境数据（如水深、水温与栖息环境）。
本记录关联实时数据（后续将随时间动态更新），且空间要素精度有所降低。该数据集同时受三年数据暂缓公开期约束（即不包含三年内的观测数据）。若您希望咨询获取可引用的静态数据集（该数据集需为当前可用且/或具备精准空间要素），请参阅联系人（Point of Contact）。
