Data: Extreme marine heatwave linked to mass fish kill in the Red Sea

This data includes the survey data from visual beach transects across multiple beaches impacted and unimpacted by a mass fish mortality event. This event occurred in the Ar Rayis region south of Yanbu in Saudi Arabia in late August 2023. Local officials reported large numbers of dead fishes and cuttlefishes washing ashore, which prompted a response to survey these areas. This data includes counts of cuttle bones and counts of dead fishes that had washed ashore at 8 sites within the ~60km of impacted area and 5 unimpacted sites outside of the impacted area.本数据集涵盖了受2023年8月底沙特阿拉伯延布以南阿尔雷伊斯（Ar Rayis）地区发生的大规模鱼类死亡事件（mass fish mortality event）影响，以及未受该事件波及的多处海滩的目视海滩样带（visual beach transects）调查数据。该事件发生后，当地官员报告称大量死亡鱼类与乌贼被冲上海滩，随即推动了针对上述区域的调查工作。本数据集包含受影响区域约60公里范围内的8个采样点，以及该区域外5个未受影响采样点处的乌贼骨数量统计结果与被冲上岸的死鱼数量统计数据。
