MBON POLE TO POLE: ROCKY SHORE BIODIVERSITY OF ARRAIAL DO CABO - BRAZIL

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). This collection corresponds to the species registered on benthic fauna of rocky shores of Arraial do Cabo in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), using the MBON P2P sampling protocol for rocky shores, with funding from Projeto Costão Rochoso sponsored by funds of a compensatory measure established by the Chevron Company Responsible Conduct Adjustment Term, conducted by the Federal Public Prosecutor - MPF / RJ, with the implementation of the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund - Funbio.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This study was done in three sites (Fortaleza, Atalaia and Prainha) of one location (Arraial do Cabo) on three events in the period between November 2018 and June 2019 with around three months interval between sampling events.

Sampling

Sampling is organized following a stratified design, which includes LOCATIONS, SITES, and STRATA. Note that LOCATIONS are separated by 30 – 100’s of kilometers. For each LOCATION on this case it was only one. Those SITES will be separated by units of kilometers (maximum 5 km). The selected site was divided in THREE STRATA (tidal levels) parallel to the coastline using the almost universal biologically-based characteristics of rocky shores of high-, mid- and low zones. In each stratum 10 QUADRATS were sampled, pictures from relevant animals were taken and animals and macroalgae samples were considered for further taxonomic identifications. In the 10 QUADRATS within each stratum (tidal level), slow moving animals are counted and the percentage cover of space occupied by invertebrates and algae. The latter includes those organisms that cover a considerable fraction of the rock surface and that are too many to be counted or cannot be easily separated into individuals; e.g., barnacles, mussels, some colonial invertebrates, including zoanthids and ascidians, algal turfs or macroalgae. Organisms adhering directly to the rock surface and moving across it are considered the “primary layer”. If canopy-forming organisms such as macroalgae are present, then these are moved aside for counts, cover and photographs in order to effectively quantify the primary layer. The composition of the canopy- the secondary layer- should also be conducted.

Quality Control

Taxonomic validity was verified using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS; www.marinespecies.org) and the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS; https://obis.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.
