Reef Life Survey (RLS): Invertebrates

[This data has been superseded by a synthesised global dataset which includes additional ecological data contributed by non-RLS entities (National Reef Monitoring Network). Please visit the corresponding NRMN Collection (IMOS - National Reef Monitoring Network Sub-Facility - Global mobile macroinvertebrate abundance) for the most current version of this data. See "Downloads and Links" section below.]

Reef Life Survey is designed to develop and resource a network of skilled recreational divers for rapid and cost-effective assessment of the state of the inshore marine environment at the global scale. The project uses standardised underwater visual census methods employed by trained SCUBA divers to survey fish and invertebrate species and to record habitat type using photo quadrats - this dataset refers to the cryptic fish and invertebrate survey component only.

珊瑚礁生命调查（Reef Life Survey，简称RLS）旨在构建并为一支由熟练休闲潜水员组成的网络提供资源支撑，以开展快速且高性价比的全球近岸海洋环境现状评估。本项目采用经培训的水肺潜水员（SCUBA divers）所使用的标准化水下视觉普查方法，对鱼类与无脊椎动物物种进行调查，并通过照片样方记录栖息地类型——本数据集仅涵盖隐秘鱼类与无脊椎动物的调查部分。
