Coral Reef Broadscale Invertebrate Survey - 2013 - 2015

Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) coral reef underwater visual census (UVC) survey of reef invertebrate species between northern Ningaloo and the Dampier Archipelago.The data include:* Invertebrate database - 25x1m transects* Abundance of invertebrates: Solitary invertebrates, principally echinoderms, molluscs and crustaceans.----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.皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系（Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership, PMCP）针对宁格罗北部至丹皮尔群岛海域的珊瑚礁，开展了无脊椎动物水下视觉普查（underwater visual census, UVC）。本次调查所获数据包含以下内容： * 无脊椎动物数据库——涵盖25条1米样带 * 无脊椎动物丰度数据：包含独居无脊椎动物，主要类群为棘皮动物、软体动物与甲壳动物。 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全球重要珊瑚礁生态系统净保护效益的倡议，通过评估关键生态价值的现状与演化轨迹，为现有治理与管理安排提供信息支撑并形成补充。该伙伴关系旨在为该区域的保护工作提供持续的建议与评估，以带来长期可持续的保护效益。 PMCP的核心理念基于三大核心生态组成部分： 1. 珊瑚礁健康：主要聚焦于构成栖息地的初级生产者 2. 鱼类与鲨鱼：其群落结构、种间相互作用以及对低营养级生物的影响 3. 环境压力：影响珊瑚礁及相关生物群落现状的物理与人为因素
