This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5 mm; reported in unit of count per individual) in the gastrointestinal tracts of planktivorous fishes Sardinella gibbosa (Goldstripe Sardinella) and Leiognathus lineolatus (Pony fish) from the Thoothukudi region, India from 2018-11-03 to 2019-05-03. The samples were caught with surface gillnet in the nearshore waters (5–10 nautical miles). Total length and weight were recorded for the samples. This dataset contains the mean results from the fish samples, in a spreadsheet format.

This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm) in subsurface coastal waters along the southern coast of Viti Levu in Fiji, South Pacific, during 2018-01-27 to 2018-03-05. Microplastics in the surface water were collected with Niskin bottles. The dataset includes temperature, dissolved oxygen and salinity measurements. This dataset contains the results from all 84 samples, in a spreadsheet format.

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected from NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER in the North Pacific Ocean from 2024-05-14 to 2024-06-09. Data acquisition from shipboard sensors includes navigational and meteorological data.

The Pioneer Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) Array, located off the coast of North Carolina, consists of a mooring array supplemented by glider and AUV transects. The Pioneer MAB Array is designed to resolve transport processes and ecosystem dynamics in the vicinity of the shelfbreak front, which is a region of complex oceanographic dynamics, intermittent mesoscale variability, and enhanced biological productivity. The Array collects high-resolution, multidisciplinary, measurements spanning the continental shelf and slope on horizontal scales from a few kilometers to about one hundred kilometers.

This study estimated the concentration of floating microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm) in the Galway Bay, a coastal embayment in Northeast Atlantic Ocean during 2017-10-09 to 2017-12-08. Microplastics were collected with a manta net trawl aboard R/V Celtic Voyager. A detailed breakdown of microplastic particles is provided. This includes color, length, and width. Volume of water sampled, sampling area and wind data are included. This dataset contains the results from all 20 microplastic samples, in a spreadsheet format.

The Endurance Array is a multi-scaled array utilizing fixed and mobile assets to observe cross-shelf and along-shelf variability in the coastal upwelling region off the Oregon and Washington coasts. The array also provides an extensive spatial footprint that encompasses a prototypical eastern boundary current regime and connectivity with the Cabled Array. OOI Coastal Glider deployments bridge the distances between the fixed sites of the Coastal Endurance Array and allow for adaptive sampling of the coastal waters of Washington and Oregon.

This dataset includes relative resilience scores for the US Virgin Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem. The score is composed of 18 indicators which were weighted and combined to create the final resilience values. All indicator values are included in this dataset along with the final resilience scores. The information is provided within the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program’s 50m x 50m survey grid.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD and other instrumentation from the research vessel Mirai in the Chukchi Sea, Bering Sea, and North Pacific. This cruise aims to develop the dataset that could allow for a synoptic view of the totality of hydrographic and ecosystem changes taking place in the Arctic Ocean and facilitate advancing model development to predict the future state of the Arctic.

This file contains the real time underway near-surface oceanic and atmospheric data from the Saildrone 1005 core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2017 Mission (Mission 1) to the eastern tropical Pacific (10N, 125W and 0, 125W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC). This was the first of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/GOMO and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr.

This dataset includes the data that was used for the tidal portion of the joint pilot fish habitat assessment. Additional data for non-tidal waters is being archived by USGS in ScienceBase. This data collection contains geospatial data of environmental layers used in the model analysis as well as the outputs of an ensemble fish habitat prediction model.
