Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Archive of Project Documentation - CAML_Project_Archive.Data_Synthesis

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Project Archive is a collection of scanned documents, maps, videos, and other related material that comprise the organisation and management documentation associated with a major research project of international significance. CAML measured the distribution and abundance of life in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica so that future impacts of climate change and human activities can be better understood. CAML coordinated the largest-ever survey of the Southern Ocean with 18 voyages in Antarctic waters, and inventoried over 16,000 marine species with hundreds new to science, provided DNA barcodes for 1,500 species, and has so far produced more than 600 scientific publications. CAML is a key activity of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR); a subproject of the Census of Marine Life (CoML); and was a major initiative of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY).

南极海洋生物普查（Census of Antarctic Marine Life, CAML）项目档案库，是一套包含扫描文档、地图、视频及其他相关资料的合集，涵盖了这项具有国际影响力的重大科研项目的组织与管理文件。该项目针对南极洲周边南大洋的生物分布与丰度开展了系统性调查，旨在为学界深入理解气候变化与人类活动的未来影响提供支撑。CAML统筹实施了有史以来规模最大的南大洋科考调查，累计在南极海域执行18次科考航行；项目共编目记录了超过16000种海洋生物，其中数百种为科学界首次发现，还为1500个物种提供了DNA条形码数据，迄今已产出600余篇学术出版物。CAML是南极研究科学委员会（Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR）的核心工作之一，同时也是海洋生物普查（Census of Marine Life, CoML）的子项目，并且是2007-2009年国际极地年（International Polar Year, IPY）的重要专项行动。
