Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) - Fish and Sharks - Raw Stereo-BRUV Imagery - 2015_04_Montes.to.CapePreston.transect_stereoBRUVs

Fish and shark assemblage data are being obtained from the analysis of Stereo-BRUV footage captured in April 2015. Data is comprised of raw camera output stream files (.MTS and .MP4) for 40 Stereo-BRUV drops in transect from Cape Preston to the Monte Beloo Islands, Western Australia. Files are less than 1.9GB and total approximately 600GB. 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.

本研究通过分析2015年4月采集的立体诱饵式远程水下视频系统（Stereo-BRUV）影像，获取鱼类与鲨类群落数据。数据包含西澳大利亚州普雷斯顿角至蒙特贝卢群岛样带内40个Stereo-BRUV投放站位的摄像机原始输出流文件（.MTS与.MP4格式），单文件大小不超过1.9GB，总容量约600GB。视频按Stereo-BRUV投放站位组织，每个站位以操作码（OpCode，如NCB1-NCB272）标识，每个站位下均设有左、右摄像机文件夹。相关视频已存档于iVEC数据存储库：https://data.ivec.org

皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系（PMCP）是一项旨在提升西澳大利亚州皮尔巴拉地区具有全球重要性的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以达成该目标。此类评估旨在为现有治理与管理框架提供参考与补充，PMCP将持续为该区域的保护工作提供咨询与评估服务，以产生长效效益。

PMCP的核心框架基于三大核心生态组分，具体如下：
- 珊瑚礁健康——主要聚焦造境初级生产者；
- 鱼类与鲨类——其群落结构、种间互作及其对低营养级生物的影响；
- 环境压力——影响珊瑚礁及相关生物群落状况的物理因素与人为因素。
