Redmap (South Australia) - Sightings of Shark and Ray 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是一个以网站为核心载体的公众参与型海洋观测平台，旨在号召社区成员观测、记录并标注在其所在区域或特定沿岸区域较为罕见的海洋物种。
平台会将收集到的全部信息进行可视化制图并展示于网站之上，随时间推移逐步展现物种分布的动态变化趋势。
观测记录分为两类：一类为附有照片、可经海洋生物学家验证（verified）的正式记录；另一类为未附照片的记录，我们称之为社区观测记录（传闻类）。所有收集到的信息，无论是否附有照片，均会被纳入制图范围，并将在未来数年中用于描绘我们海洋环境中正在发生的变化图景。
核心采集数据包括所观测到的物种（通常从预先选定的目标关注物种列表中选取）、观测地点、日期/时间以及观测时开展的活动。其他可选采集信息则涵盖生物相关数据（如物种性别、体型、体重）与环境相关数据（如水深、水温及栖息地类型）。
本记录关联实时数据（后续将随时间动态更新），且其中的空间要素精度有所降低。该数据集同时受三年延期公开规则约束，即不包含采集时间不足三年的数据。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/或具备精确空间要素），请参阅联络点（Point of Contact）。
