NESP MB Project D2 - Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for survey design, condition assessment and trend detection

本记录概述了NESP海洋生物多样性中心项目D2 -“调查设计、状况评估和趋势探测标准作业程序”的范围和研究成果。本项目预计没有数据输出。<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> 要了解澳大利亚海洋环境指标的状况和趋势，需要进行标准化监测，否则，监测不可能在时间和空间上进行比较-不可能获得状况和趋势。该项目将以监测蓝图为基础，为收集和分析监测数据的标准作业程序提供基础。 特别是，该项目将：1）提供需要进行何种监测（以及何时进行）的一些说明; 2）提供一个简单的工具，用于设计空间调查，并分析所产生的数据; 3）提供一个端到端的标准操作程序示例，用于收集底栖关键生态特征数据的诱饵水下视频（包括为确保生态相关性而提出的现场协议建议）。<br /> <br /> 计划产出<br /> ·部署观测平台、处理原始数据、然后分析处理后的数据以实现一套“无遗憾”目标的标准操作规程。 这包括就如何选择抽样地点和如何分析调查数据提出明确建议。<br /> ·一个软件（R包），用于实现空间平衡设计。 该软件将需要最低的技能水平。<br /> ·一个合作伙伴项目的实际例子，将成为今后调查的模板。<br /> ·科学出版物，将在出版后12个月内公开和免费提供。

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project D2 - "Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for survey design, condition assessment and trend detection". There are no data outputs anticipated for this project.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Understanding of the status and trends of indicators in Australia’s marine environment requires standardised monitoring, without which monitoring is unlikely to be comparable through time and space – status and trends are unlikely to be available. This project will build on the monitoring blueprint by providing foundation for Standard Operating Procedures in the collection and analysis of monitoring data. In particular, the project will 1) provide some delineation of what kind of monitoring is required (and when), 2) providing a simple tool for designing surveys in space that also analyses the resulting data, and 3) provide a worked end-to-end SOP example for a baited underwater video for collection of data in benthic key ecological features (including recommendations for field protocols to ensure ecological relevance).<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Standard Operating Protocol (SOPs) for deploying observation platforms, processing raw data and then analysing processed data for a set of ‘no regrets’ objectives. This includes clear recommendations about how to choose sampling locations and how to analyse the resulting survey data.<br /> • A piece of software (an R package) that implements spatially balanced designs. The software will require a minimal skill level.<br /> • A worked example, from a partner project, that will form the template for future surveys.<br /> • Scientific publications, which will be made publicly and freely available within 12 months of publication.
