Redmap

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). Note that the accuracy of spatial elements has been reduced for distribution purposes. This data set 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 precise spatial elements, please see Point of Contact.

Redmap 是一个主要面向社区的网站，旨在邀请公众发现、记录和绘制其所在区域或特定海岸线附近不常见的海洋物种。收集到的信息将在网站上进行标注和展示，随着时间的推移，展示物种分布可能发生的变迁。观测记录被分为两类：一类是可由海洋生物学家验证并附有照片的观测记录，另一类则无照片的社区观测记录（即轶事性观测）。所有收集到的信息，无论是否有照片，都将被标注并用于后续年份中绘制出我们海洋环境中发生的变迁‘故事’。主要收集的数据包括观测到的物种（通常从包含预选感兴趣物种的列表中选择）、位置、日期/时间和进行的活动。此外，还收集其他可选信息，如生物数据（如性别、大小和重量）和环境数据（如水深和温度以及栖息地）。该记录与实时数据相关联（并将随着时间的推移而变化）。请注意，为了分布目的，空间元素的准确性已被降低。此数据集也受到三年限制（即不包含三年以下的数据）。如需讨论获取可引用的静态数据集，该数据集应包含当前数据且/或精确的空间元素，请参阅联系方式。
