Redmap (Queensland) - Sightings of Mammal 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 是一款面向社区的海洋观测平台，核心功能为邀请公众识别、记录并标注其所在区域或沿岸特定区段内的罕见海洋物种。平台会将收集到的信息进行可视化绘图并展示，随时间推移逐步呈现物种分布的变化趋势。

目击记录分为两类：一类为附带照片、可由海洋生物学家完成验证的正式记录，另一类为未附带照片的社区目击记录（传闻类记录）。所有收集到的记录，无论是否附带照片，均会被纳入空间绘图，并将在未来数年中用于梳理海洋环境的变化脉络。

核心采集数据包括目击物种（通常从预先设定的目标物种类别列表中选取）、观测位置、观测日期/时间以及观测时开展的活动。此外还可补充收集性别、体型、体重等生物学数据，以及水深、水温、栖息地等环境数据。

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。同时该记录设置了三年数据禁公开期，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/或包含精确空间要素），请参阅联络人信息。
