Redmap (Victoria) - Sightings of Mammal 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 是一个以社区为核心的网站，旨在邀请公众开展海洋物种的观测、记录与标注工作，重点关注在其所在区域或特定海岸沿线较为罕见的物种。平台会将收集到的信息进行可视化标注并展示，随时间推移呈现物种分布的变化趋势。
观测记录分为两类：一类是附带照片、可经海洋生物学家核验的记录，另一类是未附带照片的社区观测记录（传闻类）。所有收集到的记录（无论是否附带照片）均会进行可视化标注，并将在未来数年中用于梳理我们所处海洋环境的变化全貌。
收集的核心数据包括：观测到的物种（通常从预设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。收集的可选补充信息则包括：性别、体型、体重等生物学数据，以及水深、水温、栖息生境等环境数据。
该记录关联实时数据（后续将随时间更新），且空间要素的精度有所降低。同时该数据集受三年封存期约束，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/或包含高精度空间要素），请参阅联系人信息。
