This dataset is the result of census exercises made by students in the framework of the Marine Biology Excursions Course, at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). The data includes occurrence from the intertidal zone, taken on a yearly basis (by different batches of students), for which identifications are systematically checked by the supervisors. The field work focuses on transects chosen in the the Bay of Wimereux (Pas-de-Calais, France) which are oriented towards contrasted ecological gradients.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The study includes yearly inventories carried by 1st year Master students. The study focuses on ecological gradients, and zonation in a bay subjected to strong tidal influence.Sampling
Sampling occurs at low tide, along transects. Students choose a series of contrasting sampling stations along the transects.Quality Control
Identifications are carried out using identification keys by the students and systematically checked by the supervisors. The data quality undergoes a quick QC, addressing various semantic and parameter issues (taxon names, georeferencing, formatting,...).Method steps
- Each group of students produces a spreadsheet in CSV format, using the GBIF data templates. The data is aggregated in the file which is shared through this IPT instance.
Taxonomic Coverages
The dataset includes a full census of marine biodiversity in the region of interest.
