Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) - Fish and Sharks - Raw Stereo-BRUV Imagery - 2014_10_Exmouth.to.Dampier.deep_stereoBRUVs

Fish and shark assemblage data are being obtained from the analysis of Stereo-BRUV footage captured in October 2014. Data is comprised of raw camera output stream files (.MTS) for 136 Stereo-BRUV drops in deep water (~40-60m) Between Exmouth and Dampier, Western Australia. Files are less than 1.9GB and total approximately 2TB. 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.

本数据集通过分析2014年10月采集的立体诱饵式远程水下视频（Stereo-BRUV）录像素材，获取鱼类与鲨类群落组成数据。研究区域为西澳大利亚州埃克斯茅斯与丹皮尔之间的深水海域（水深约40~60米），共完成136次立体诱饵式远程水下视频（Stereo-BRUV）下放部署，对应数据包含各部署的相机原始输出流文件（格式为.MTS），单文件大小不超过1.9GB，总存储容量约2TB。

所有视频按立体诱饵式远程水下视频下放部署单元进行组织，每个单元以操作代码（OpCode，如NCB1至NCB272）标识，且每个单元下均包含左、右两个相机文件夹。相关视频已上传至iVEC数据存储库，访问链接为https://data.ivec.org。

皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系（Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership, PMCP）是一项旨在通过评估西澳大利亚州皮尔巴拉地区全球重要珊瑚礁生态系统的关键生态价值现状与发展趋势，提升该区域整体保护效益的行动计划。该评估工作旨在为现有治理与管理框架提供参考与补充，而PMCP将持续为该区域的保护工作提供咨询与评估服务，以实现长期保护效益。

PMCP的核心框架基于三大生态组分，分别为：珊瑚礁健康（Coral Reef Health），主要聚焦于构成栖息地的初级生产者；鱼类与鲨类（Fish and Sharks），关注其群落结构、种间互作及其对低营养级生物的影响；环境压力（Environmental Pressures），即影响珊瑚礁及其相关生物群落现状的物理与人为活动因素。
