CATT F-POD Data - England South West

These data gathered and contributed to CATT by:Devon Wildlife TrustFalmouth Marine ConservationRDUKRoyal Fowey Yacht ClubFowey Harbour CommissionIsles of Scilly Wildlife TrustLooe Marine Conservation, Coastal MonitoringNewquay Marine GroupSt Agnes Marine GroupChelonia Ltd.AlagapelagoEngland South WestEquivalent to MMO Marine Plans 8 and 9Each site has a unique Site Code of 13 characters GB 050N 005W XXX the first three characters are landmass, the next six are latitude and longitude, the last three identify the specific site.The data set contains files generated by the Chelonia Limited passive acoustic logger, F-POD. The files can be analysed using the freeware available on a link in related materials. This dataset is updated regularly with new recordings.Classification and noise risks are scored from 0 to 11 for each file using ‘Classification Warnings’ (Files &amp; Filters Tab) Quick view or export.Summed risks of 3 or 4 require user evaluation.Summed risks of 5 or 6 likely require special handling.Summed risks of 7 and above are likely highly misleading.The CATT project aims to track trends in the population of those cetacean groups that can be monitored acoustically by logging their echo-location activity using the F-POD instrument made by Chelonia. These groups are porpoises, dolphins and all other toothed whales except the Sperm Whale.Long term population monitoring projects are notoriously difficult to establish using conventional funding streams, so CATT is supported by the participants and by Chelonia Limited. Chelonia is loaning instruments and providing free data curation, some data analysis, and funding for the deployment of F-PODs on some coastal observation sites maintained for other purposes. After 5 years it should be possible to form a clear assessment of the utility of the project and how it might best proceed.The data will become openly available within 6 months of being brought ashore, on the basis that users should notify and acknowledge the participants whose data is used.The data can support various types of analysis and opportunities that will include:Detection of trends over time in levels of cetacean acoustic activity.Insights into local patterns of cetacean activity of particular interest to participating citizen groups.Studies of cetacean acoustic behaviour – F-POD data has already given major insights intoclick-based social communication in riverine and marine dolphins, and in porpoises.Opportunities for Master’s projects and larger academic studies.Opportunities for training in relevant skills including handling and analysing the data set.Opportunities for raising awareness of ocean life.<br><b>Devon Wildlife Trust</b>DEV Wembury GB050N004WWMB No of Risks 4<br><b>Plymouth University</b>KER Rame Head GB050N004WRMH<b>Falmouth Marine Conservation</b>KER Black Rock GB050N005WFBR No of Risks 6KER Falmouth Bay Meudon GB050N005WFAB No of Risks 5KER STMAWES CASTLE GB050N005WMWC <br><b>RDUK</b>KER Fal River KHF Mussel Farm GB050N005WFAR No of Risks 6KER Godrevy GB050N002WGVY<br><b>Royal Fowey Yacht Club</b>KER Fowey Jbuoy GB050N004WFWY<br><b>Fowey Harbour Commission</b>KER Fowey River GB050N004WFWR<br><b>Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust</b>KER IoS StMartins GB049N006WSMT<br><b>Looe Marine Conservation, Coastal Monitoring</b>KER Looe Bay Wave Buoy GB050N004WLOO<br><b>Newquay Marine Group</b>KER Newquay GB050N005WNQY<br><b>St Agnes Marine Group</b>KER ST Agnes GB050N005WAGN<br><b>Chelonia Ltd.</b>KER Tater Dhu GB050N005WTTD<br><b>Algapelago</b>DEV Clovelly Alagapelago PAM-CS GB051N004WACSDEV Clovelly Algapelago PAM-CW GB051N004WACWDEV Clovelly Algapelago PAM-F GB051N004WALF<br> <br><br>

本数据集由以下机构与团队收集并贡献至CATT项目：德文郡野生动物信托基金、法尔茅斯海洋保护组织、RDUK、皇家福伊游艇俱乐部、福伊港委员会、锡利群岛野生动物信托基金、卢埃海洋保护与海岸监测团队、纽基海洋小组、圣艾格尼丝海洋小组、Chelonia有限公司（Chelonia Ltd.）、Alagapelago以及英格兰西南部区域，该区域等效于英国海洋管理局（MMO）的8号与9号海洋规划。
每个站点均拥有13位字符的唯一站点编码，格式为GB 050N 005W XXX，其中前三位为陆地标识，后续六位为经纬度信息，最后三位用于区分具体站点。
本数据集包含由Chelonia有限公司（Chelonia Ltd.）生产的被动声学记录仪（F-POD）生成的各类文件，用户可通过相关材料中的链接提供的免费软件对这些文件开展分析。本数据集将定期更新新增的录音数据。
研究人员可通过“分类警告（文件与过滤器选项卡）”的快速查看或导出功能，为每个文件的分类与噪声风险从0到11进行评分。当累计风险得分为3或4时，需由用户自行开展评估；得分为5或6时，大概率需要进行特殊处理；得分为7及以上时，分析结果可能存在严重误导性。
CATT项目旨在通过使用Chelonia有限公司（Chelonia Ltd.）生产的F-POD仪器记录鲸类的回声定位活动，追踪可通过声学手段监测的鲸类类群的种群趋势。此类类群包括鼠海豚、海豚以及除抹香鲸外的所有其他齿鲸。
依托常规资助渠道建立长期种群监测项目向来难度极大，因此CATT项目由参与方及Chelonia有限公司（Chelonia Ltd.）共同支持。Chelonia有限公司不仅会出借仪器、提供免费的数据管护服务与部分数据分析工作，还为部署在其他用途海岸观测点的F-POD设备提供经费支持。项目运行满5年后，即可对该项目的实用性及后续优化方向形成清晰的评估结论。
数据在被带回陆地后的6个月内将面向公众开放，使用数据的用户需告知并致谢所用到数据的贡献参与方。
本数据集可支持多类分析研究与实践机会，具体包括：
1. 检测鲸类声学活动水平随时间变化的趋势；
2. 分析鲸类活动的本地模式，这对参与其中的公民科学团体具有特殊研究价值；
3. 鲸类声学行为研究——F-POD数据已在淡水与海洋海豚、鼠海豚的基于回声点击的社交交流研究中取得了重大进展；
4. 硕士学位论文及大型学术研究的相关课题机会；
5. 相关技能培训实践机会，包括数据集的处理与分析；
6. 提升公众海洋生物认知度的相关活动契机。
