Data for: Anthropogenic Perturbations of the Somali Basin Ecosystem: A Geoscience Analysis of IUU Fishing Impacts on Benthic-Pelagic Coupling and Marine Resource Resilience

This data package supports the manuscript submitted to Progress in Earth and Planetary Science (PEPS). It provides a multi-modal geoscience analysis of anthropogenic disturbances in the Somali Basin (North Indian Ocean). The repository includes: Underlying Data: Aggregated AIS/VMS vessel tracking databases, catch reconstruction matrices, and socio-economic correlation datasets linked to the Somali National Bureau of Statistics (SNBS) SIHBS 2022 report. Extended Data: Full systematic search strategies, study quality audit scores, and high-resolution bathymetric geomorphology overlays. Documentation: Data dictionaries and replicable statistical syntax (SPSS/R) for the $395M economic valuation and benthic-pelagic coupling impact models.
