Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) - Fish and Sharks - Raw Stereo-BRUV Imagery - 2014_10_Montes.sanctuaries_stereoBRUVs

Fish and shark assemblage data are being obtained from the analysis of Stereo-BRUV footage captured in October 2014. Data is comprised of raw camera output stream files (.MTS and .MP4) for 84 Stereo-BRUV drops in shallow water (~8-20m) insise and outside sancatuary zones at The Monte Bello Islands, Western Australia. Files are less than 1.9GB and total approximately 1.2TB. Videos are structured within Stereo-BRUV drops (identified with an OpCode i.e. NCB1-NCB272) with a left and right camera folder within each drop. Videos are lodged with the iVEC Data Store - https://data.ivec.orgThe Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits.The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely:Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers. Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels. Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

本数据集的鱼类与鲨鱼群落数据，源自2014年10月采集的立体诱饵式远程水下视频（Stereo-BRUV）影像分析。
数据包含84次立体诱饵式远程水下视频布放所生成的原始相机输出流文件，文件格式为.MTS与.MP4，布放区域位于澳大利亚西部蒙特贝洛群岛的浅水区（水深约8至20米）的保护区内外。
单个文件大小不超过1.9GB，总存储量约为1.2TB。
视频按立体诱饵式远程水下视频布放分组，每组以操作代码（OpCode，如NCB1至NCB272）标识，每个布放组下设左、右相机两个子文件夹。
相关视频已上传至iVEC数据存储库（iVEC Data Store），公开链接为https://data.ivec.org。

皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系（Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership, PMCP）是一项旨在通过评估西澳大利亚州皮尔巴拉地区全球重要珊瑚礁生态系统的关键生态价值现状与发展趋势，提升该区域整体保护效益的项目。
该项目的评估工作旨在为现有治理与管理框架提供参考与补充，同时皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系将持续为该区域的保护工作提供咨询与评估服务，以实现长期保护效益。

皮尔巴拉海洋保护伙伴关系的核心研究框架基于三大生态模块，分别为：
1. 珊瑚礁健康状况——主要聚焦于构成栖息地的初级生产者；
2. 鱼类与鲨鱼群落——研究其群落结构、种间相互作用及对低营养级生物的影响；
3. 环境压力——影响珊瑚礁及其关联生物群落现状的自然物理因素与人为活动因素。
