Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) - Fish and Sharks - Raw Stereo-BRUV Imagery - 2015_09_Dampier.Archipelago_stereoBRUVs

Fish and shark assemblage data are being obtained from the analysis of Stereo-BRUV footage captured in September 2015. Data is comprised of raw camera output stream files (.MTS and .MP4) for 79 Stereo-BRUV drops in shallow water (~10m) around the Dampier Archipeligo, Western Australia. Files are less than 1.9GB and total approximately 1.3TB. Videos are structured within Stereo-BRUV drops (identified with an OpCode i.e. NCB1-NCB272) with a left and right camera folder within each drop. Videos are lodged with the iVEC Data Store - https://data.ivec.org

The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.

The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely:
Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers.
Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels.
Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

本数据集通过对2015年9月采集的立体诱饵远程水下视频（Stereo-BRUV）录像进行分析，获取鱼类与鲨鱼组合群落数据。数据集包含79次Stereo-BRUV采样作业的原始相机输出流文件，格式为.MTS与.MP4，采样作业开展于澳大利亚西部丹皮尔群岛（Dampier Archipeligo）附近浅水区（水深约10米）。单个文件大小不超过1.9GB，总容量约1.3TB。

视频按照Stereo-BRUV采样作业分组，每组以操作码（OpCode，如NCB1-NCB272）标识，每个作业组下设左右相机文件夹。所有视频已上传至iVEC数据存储库（iVEC Data Store），访问地址为https://data.ivec.org。

皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系（Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership, PMCP）是一项旨在提升澳大利亚西部皮尔巴拉地区全球重要珊瑚礁生态系统净保护效益的倡议，通过对关键生态价值的现状与发展趋势开展评估。此类评估旨在为现有治理与管理安排提供参考与补充，而PMCP则旨在为该地区的保护工作提供持续的咨询与评估服务，以产生长效效益。

PMCP的核心框架基于三大生态组分，具体如下：
珊瑚礁健康：主要聚焦于构成栖息地的初级生产者。
鱼类与鲨鱼：其群落结构、种间相互作用及其对低营养级生物的影响。
环境压力：影响珊瑚礁及其相关生物群落现状的自然物理因素与人为活动因素。
