Redmap (Western Australia) - Sightings of Bony Fish Species

Redmap is a primarily a website that invites the community to spot, log and map marine species that are uncommon in their region, or along particular parts of their coast. The information collected is mapped and displayed on the site, demonstrating, in time, how species distributions may be changing. Sightings are divided into two categories – those with a photo that can be ‘verified’ by a marine biologist, and sightings without photos that we call community sightings (anecdotal). All the information collected, with and without photos, is mapped and will be used in the following years to map out a ‘story’ of changes occurring in our marine environment. The main data collected includes the species sighted (normally selected from a list comprising preselected species of interest), the location, date/time and activity being undertaken. Other optional information gathered include biological data such as sex, size and weight and environmental data such as water depth and temperature and habitat. This record is associated with live data (and will subsequently change over time) and spatial elements have reduced accuracy. It is also subject to a three year embargo (ie. does not contain data less than three years old). If you wish to discuss obtaining a citable, static dataset, that is current and/or contains accurate spatial elements, please see Point of Contact.Redmap 是一个以社区参与为核心的网站，旨在邀请公众发现、记录并标注在其所在区域或特定海岸沿线较为罕见的海洋物种。所收集的信息会在网站上进行可视化绘图展示，随时间推移直观呈现物种分布的变化趋势。 目击记录分为两类：一类是配有照片、可由海洋生物学家进行‘验证’的记录；另一类是未附照片的记录，我们称之为社区目击（轶事类记录）。所有收集到的记录，无论是否配有照片，都会被标注绘制，并将在未来数年中用于梳理我们海洋环境中发生的变化脉络。 收集的核心数据包括目击物种（通常从预先选定的目标物种列表中选取）、观测地点、日期时间以及当时开展的活动。此外还可收集其他可选信息：生物学数据如物种性别、体型、体重，以及环境数据如水深、水温与栖息环境。 本记录关联实时数据（后续会随时间更新），且空间要素的精度有所降低。同时该数据集受三年数据封存（embargo）限制，即不包含三年内的观测数据。若您希望咨询获取可引用的静态数据集（该数据集为最新版本且/或包含高精度空间要素），请参阅指定联系人信息。
