Redmap (Queensland) - Sightings of Reptilian 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 是一个主要依托网站平台的社区项目，旨在邀请公众识别、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。平台会将收集到的信息进行可视化映射并公开展示，随时间推移直观展现物种分布的潜在变化趋势。
物种目击记录分为两类：一类为附带照片、可经海洋生物学家（marine biologist）验证的正式目击记录，另一类为无照片的社区上报记录（即传闻类目击）。所有收集到的信息，无论是否附带照片，均会被纳入可视化标注，并将在未来数年用于梳理海洋环境正在发生的变化脉络。
项目收集的核心数据包括：目击物种（通常从预设的目标物种列表中选取）、目击地点、日期时间以及观测时开展的活动。此外还可收集其他可选信息：诸如性别、体型、体重等生物学数据，以及水深、水温、栖息地等环境数据。
本记录关联实时数据（后续将随时间动态更新），且空间要素（spatial elements）的精度有所降低。同时该数据集设有三年数据禁运期，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/或具备精准的空间要素），请参阅项目联系人信息。
