MBON POLE TO POLE: ROCKY SHORE BIODIVERSITY OF GORGONA ISLAND

Dataset homepage

Citation

Londono-Cruz E (2019): MBON POLE TO POLE: ROCKY SHORE BIODIVERSITY OF GORGONA ISLAND. v1.5. Caribbean OBIS Node. Dataset/Samplingevent. http://ipt.iobis.org/mbon/resource?r=rockycolombia&v=1.5 https://doi.org/10.15468/sasgw1 accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-06-11.

Description

The MBON Pole to Pole effort seeks to develop a framework for the collection, use and sharing of marine biodiversity data in a coordinated, standardized manner leveraging on existing infrastructure managed by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS; IOC-UNESCO), the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), and the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). The MBON Pole to Pole aims to become a key resource for decision-making and management of living resource across countries in the Americas for reporting requirements under the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), Aichi Targets of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In line with these goals, the information in this document represents an effort to inform the biodiversity of marine invertebrates associated to the rocky shores of Gorgona Island, one of the most well-managed National Natural Parks in Colombia, which appears in the GreenList. The data was gathering implementing the standard methodology used by the MBON Pole to Pole team, based on the SARCE protocol. Partial financial support was received from the Park administration.

Purpose

Report data gathering in the first MBON Pole to Pole campaign during 2018/2019

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This study was done in three sites (La Máncora, Playa Verde, and La Ventana) of one location (Gorgona Island) during one time (October 2018).

Sampling

The sampling was performed using the: South American Research Group on Coastal Ecosystems (2012) Protocol (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-5).

Quality Control

The taxonomic identification and QC of current scientific names was checked with WoRMS (http://www.marinespecies.org/).

Method steps

  1. Samples were processed following the rocky shore intertidal protocol developed during the Marine Biodiversity Workshop: from the Sea to the Cloud, at Praia do Segredo, São Sebastião, Brasil. August 6-10, 2018.

Additional info

Marine data harvested by OBIS. MBON Pole to Pole Project

Geographic Coverages

The sampling was performed in three sites (La Camaronera, Playa Verde, and La Ventana) of Gorgona National Natural Park (Pacific coast of Colombia). These sites are located on the south-western side (windward) of the Island. The rocky shore types at the sites are platforms and boulders and blocks beaches. The origin of rocks is mainly volcanic, but some sedimentary rocks are also present. Tidal amplitud is ~4.5 m.
