Redmap (Victoria) - Sightings of Bony Fish 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 是一个主要以网站为运行载体的公众参与型平台，旨在邀请社区成员对在其所在区域或沿岸特定区域内较为罕见的海洋物种开展观测、记录与标注工作。平台会将收集到的全部信息进行可视化制图并公开展示，随时间推移直观展现物种分布的动态变化趋势。

观测记录分为两类：一类是配有照片且可由海洋生物学家完成验证的正式观测记录；另一类为未附带照片的社区自发观测记录（传闻类观测）。所有收集到的信息，无论是否附带照片，均会被纳入可视化制图体系，并将在后续数年中用于梳理我们所处海洋环境的变化脉络。

平台采集的核心数据包括观测物种（通常从预设的目标关注物种列表中选取）、观测地点、观测日期时间以及当时开展的活动类型。此外还可收集可选补充信息，涵盖生物学参数（如性别、体型、体重）与环境数据（如水深、水温及栖息生境）。

本记录关联实时动态数据（后续将随时间更新），且空间要素的精度有所降低。同时本数据集设有三年公开限制期（即不包含发布时间不足三年的观测数据）。若您希望获取可引用的静态数据集（该数据集需为最新版本且/或包含精确空间要素），请参阅指定联络人信息。
