Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Archive of Project Documentation - CAML_Project_Archive.Sampling_Protocols

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Project Archive is a collection of scanned documents, maps, videos, and other related material that comprise the organisation and management documentation associated with a major research project of international significance. CAML measured the distribution and abundance of life in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica so that future impacts of climate change and human activities can be better understood. CAML coordinated the largest-ever survey of the Southern Ocean with 18 voyages in Antarctic waters, and inventoried over 16,000 marine species with hundreds new to science, provided DNA barcodes for 1,500 species, and has so far produced more than 600 scientific publications. CAML is a key activity of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR); a subproject of the Census of Marine Life (CoML); and was a major initiative of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY).

南极海洋生物普查（Census of Antarctic Marine Life）项目档案库是扫描文档、地图、视频及其他相关资料的集合，涵盖这项具有国际影响力的重大科研项目的组织与管理文件。CAML旨在调查南极洲周边南大洋海域海洋生物的分布与丰度，以便更好地理解气候变化与人类活动未来将产生的影响。CAML协调开展了南大洋有史以来规模最大的科考调查，在南极海域完成18次科考航行；共清查记录了超过16000种海洋生物，其中数百种为科学界新发现物种，同时为1500个物种提供了DNA条形码，截至目前已发表超过600篇学术论文。CAML是南极研究科学委员会（Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR）的核心工作之一，同时也是海洋生物普查（Census of Marine Life, CoML）的子项目，并且是2007-2009年国际极地年（International Polar Year, IPY）的重大倡议项目。
