Multibeam, single beam, and subbottom sonar data will be collected 24 hours a day and XBT casts will be conducted at an interval defined by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but not to exceed 3-4 hours. EX1404L1 will perform baseline characterization mapping (multibeam, splitbeam, subbottom) of New England Seamount chain in preparation for EX1404L3. During transiting to and from seamounts, exploration mapping will include areas of poor quality from existing ECS data and gaps in ECS data.

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected on little or unknown areas of the continental slope between Rhode Island and Chesapeake Bay. The major driving objective during these dives was to conduct engineering trials of the ROV and focused outreach events. Dives in the area of Lindenkohl canyons were devoted to ROV engineering trials, dives in the area of Washington Canyon were focused on exploration, and dives at the head of Norfolk Canyon and the mid-Atlantic gas seep site focused on outreach operations.

Cruises took place from April 1900 to August 2005 in the Baltic Sea. Vessels from various countries were used to collect data in the open sea. Small boats were used to collect data in the coastal zone. Oceanographic data were used for weather forecasting and monitoring the state of the biological resources of the Baltic Sea.

1. Physical oceanographic data from Eulerian measurements at the SIB site (data in Fig. 3 of the paper)
2. Biogeochemical data from Eulerian measurements at the SIB site (data in Fig. 4 of the paper)
3. Metabolic rate data (NCC, NCP) from Lagrangian and Eulerian methods along with associated environmental and ecological conditions (data in Figs. 2, 5, and 6 of the paper).

This study was designed to provide baseline knowledge of seafloor geology and invertebrate distributions at a regional scale by undertaking new mapping, synthesizing existing mapping data, conducting biological assessments, and developing new predictive models. This data set (macrofaunal abundances) provides a baseline distribution of these species that are likely to be most directly affected by offshore renewable energy installations.

The Benthic Organisms of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary geodatabase is a collection of information on the distribution of benthic organisms within the sanctuary compiled from multiple sources. It contains information on the distribution of benthic habitats from the Unified Florida Reef Tract Map version 1.1, the distribution of hard and soft corals surveyed by multiple monitoring programs, the distribution of resilient reefs and distribution of seagrasses.

The ALOHA Cabled Observatory (ACO) is a system of hardware and software that extends electric power and the Internet offshore, supporting sustained real-time observations in the deep ocean. The ACO is connected to Oahu, Hawaii by the HAW-4 telecommunications cable transferred to the project by AT&T in 2007. On June 6th, 2011, the ACO was deployed on the ocean bottom (depth ~ 5 kilometers - 3 miles) near Station ALOHA, 100 kilometers (60 nautical miles) north of Oahu, Hawaii.

This dataset contains oceanographic data collected along the continental slope submarine canyons, en route to and returning from the North Atlantic Seamount Chain. ROV operations were conducted on the seamounts both inside and outside the U.S. EEZ. Operations focused on areas of high potential for discovery and of interest to the management community. ROV dives were conducted mostly during the day, while CTD casts and acoustic mapping occurred when the ROV was on deck.

This dataset provides counts of harbor seals from aerial surveys over Lake Iliamna, Alaska, USA. The data have been collated from three previously published sources (Mathisen and Kline 1992; Small 2001; ABR Inc. Environmental Research and Services 2011) and newly available data from the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center and the Newhalen Tribal Council. The survey years range between 1984 and 2013. Counts are reported as summed totals across all identified waypoints in the lake for each survey date.
