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

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋生物多样性中心项目D2--“调查设计、状况评估和趋势检测的标准作业程序”的范围和研究成果。此项目没有预期的数据输出。<br/> <br/> 了解澳大利亚海洋环境指标的状况和趋势需要标准化监测，如果没有标准化监测，监测就不可能在时间和空间上具有可比性--状况和趋势不太可能可用。该项目将以监测蓝图为基础，为监测数据的收集和分析提供标准作业程序的基础。特别是，该项目将1)提供一些关于需要何种监测(以及何时)的描述，2)提供一种设计空间调查的简单工具，也分析所产生的数据，3)为海底关键生态特征数据的收集(包括关于确保生态相关性的现场协议的建议)提供一个端到端工作的水下视频示例。<br/> <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·标准操作协议(SOP)，用于部署观测平台，处理原始数据，然后分析处理后的数据，以实现一套“无悔”目标。这包括关于如何选择抽样地点以及如何分析结果调查数据的明确建议。<br/> ·一款实现空间平衡设计的软件(R包)。该软件将需要最低的技能水平。<br/> ·一个来自合作伙伴项目的实例，将构成未来调查的模板。<br/> ·科学出版物，将在出版后12个月内公开免费提供。

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.
