Description

This is a sampling-event dataset of the short-term monitoring of Poblacion and Kadurong Reefs, two of the marine protected areas Municipality of Liloan, Cebu, Philippines. Water quality and ecological assessments were carried out to monitor the status and trends of biological and physical parameters associated with coral reefs using the standard protocols for surveying tropical marine resources. Specifically, the following measurements were conducted: (1) physico-chemical parameters, (2) phytoplankton and zooplankton occurrence and abundance, (3) fish occurrence and density, and (4) percent cover of benthic components of coral reef. The data can serve as the basis for the formulation and implementation of relevant measures for conservation and protection management of the Poblacion and Kadurong Reefs in Liloan, Cebu, Philippines.

In this version, the datasets were revised as described below:

event.csv

  •  georeferencedBy entries were spelled out following the suggested format.
  •  Names who contributed to the georeferencing of the sampling locations were added in the georeferencedBy field. 

emof.csv

  • The eventID entries in emof.csv were trimmed to obtain similar formatting eventID in event.csv.
  • Unique identifying codes for each measurement were added.  
  • In measurementType, the abbreviations were spelled out. Also, the spelling was corrected.
  • In measurementValue, the percent cover values were rounded off to 2 decimal places.
  • Entries were added to the measurementDeterminedBy field.

occurrence.csv

  • In the basisOfRecords,  “observation” was replaced with “HumanObservation”.
  • The taxonRank in LiloanMPA:S07:2015-03:zooplankton:Crustacea  was replaced with “subphylum”.
  • In scientificName, entires with “sp.” were deleted and changed the taxonRank of these entries as “genus”.
  • The authorship and year to scientificName entries were added. taxonID field was added. 
  • Decimal places of decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude was reduced to 6 in both the event.csv and occurrence.csv. In occurrence.csv, coordinateUncertaintyInMeters field was added.
  • recordedBy field was added. 

Notes

The datasets are formatted using Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) specification. Each file is UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text with very long lines and CRLF line terminators.
