Redmap (Tasmania) - Sightings of Algae and Plant 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是一个以网站为核心载体的平台，旨在邀请社区公众发现、记录并标注其所在区域或特定海岸沿线的罕见海洋物种。平台会将收集到的信息进行制图并展示，以持续呈现物种分布的变化趋势。

目击记录分为两类：一类为配有照片、可经海洋生物学家核验确认的记录，另一类为无照片的社区目击记录（轶事类记录）。所有收集到的记录（无论是否配有照片）均会被纳入制图体系，并将在未来数年用于梳理海洋环境变化的完整图景。

本次收集的核心数据包括目击物种（通常从预设的目标物种种群列表中选择）、观测地点、日期时间以及观测时开展的活动类型。此外还可收集其他可选信息，涵盖生物数据（如物种性别、体型、体重）与环境数据（如水深、水温及栖息环境）。

本记录关联实时数据，后续将随时间动态更新，且空间要素的精度有所降低。

该数据集同时设有三年公开限制期，即不包含三年内的观测数据。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/或包含高精度空间要素），请咨询指定联络人。
