Redmap (Tasmania) - Sightings of Algae and Plant 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 是一款主打公众参与的线上平台，旨在邀请社区成员发现、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。平台将收集到的信息进行可视化映射并展示，随时间推移直观呈现物种分布的动态变化。
观测记录分为两类：一类是附带照片、可由海洋生物学家核验的记录；另一类为无照片的观测记录，我们称之为社区观测记录（传闻类记录）。所有收集到的带照片与无照片的观测数据均会进行可视化映射，并将在后续年份中用于系统呈现我们海洋环境的变化全貌。
核心采集数据包括观测物种（通常从预设的关注物种名录中选取）、观测地点、观测日期与时间，以及当时开展的活动。此外还可采集可选补充信息：涵盖性别、体长、体重等生物学数据，以及水深、水温、栖息地类型等环境数据。
本记录关联实时数据（后续将随时间动态更新），且空间要素的精度有所降低。该数据集同时设有三年延期公开期，即不包含距今不足三年的观测数据。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），请联系指定联系人。
