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). This collection corresponds to the species registered on sandy beaches of the State of Yucatan, Mexico, using the MBON P2P sampling protocol for sandy beaches, with funding from the LANRESC UNAM-CONACYT (Laboratorio Nacional de Resiliencia Costera, Universidad NAcional Autonoma de Mexico - CONACyT)Sampling Description
Study Extent
All the coast of Yucatán state including Celestún, Sisal, Progreso, Telchac Puerto, Dzilam and El CuyoSampling
Three linear transects, spaced more than 3 meters and less than 10 meters apart. The distance of the upper limit of the transects on each site was determined from a fixed reference point, starting immediately below the high tide level(below the drift line) to the lower level of the swash. Sampling were done on three to six equidistant points along the transects. Sampler was a corer of 15 centimeters in diameter, reaching up to 25 centimeters in the sediment.Quality Control
Taxonomic validity of taxa names was verified using www.marinespecies.orgMethod steps
- Samples were processed following the protocol developed during the Marine Biodiversity Workshop: from the Sea to the Cloud, at Praia do Segredo, São Sebastião, Brasil. August 6-10, 2018
