测量海洋生物参数的方法几乎与测量这些参数的研究人员一样多种多样。然而，要了解不同时间和地理尺度上海洋生物多样性的模式，就需要关于潜在环境驱动因素的一致数据和信息。作为一组来自不同学科的海洋科学家，我们提出了一个正式的，一致的框架，20个生物，化学，物理和社会经济参数，我们认为最重要的描述环境和生物变异性。我们称我们提出的框架的一般海洋调查和采样迭代协议（GOSSIP）。我们希望，这一框架将确立一种一致的数据收集方法，使不同学科的海洋科学家能够进一步合作，增进对海洋（深海和中光珊瑚生态系统）的了解。
Approaches to measuring marine biological parameters remain almost as diverse as the researchers who measure them. However, understanding the patterns of diversity in ocean life over different temporal and geographic scales requires consistent data and information on the potential environmental drivers. As a group of marine scientists from different disciplines, we suggest a formalized, consistent framework of 20 biological, chemical, physical, and socioeconomic parameters that we consider the most important for describing environmental and biological variability. We call our proposed framework the General Ocean Survey and Sampling Iterative Protocol (GOSSIP). We hope that this framework will establish a consistent approach to data collection, enabling further collaboration between marine scientists from different disciplines to advance knowledge of the ocean (deep-sea and mesophotic coral ecosystems).
