Description

GPX log of survey dives from the west coast of Ormoc Bay, Leyte, the Philippines in the municipalities of Albuera (10.91667, 124.69667) and Bay Bay City (11.07611, 124.87528), 2012-2018. GPX is a log of 15-second interval GPS locations during dives.

Methods & Sampling

The GPS reader was floating on the surface and tethered to the divers. Location should not be considered exact. With currents and wind, the GPS reader could drift a number of meters away from directly overhead the divers.
Data entry was made with Excel or Google sheets, depending on the internet connection.
Data cleaning was performed in R using the tidyverse package.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Processing:
- refomatted 'time' column to ISO_DateTime format (yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS)

Instruments

tracking tag

Supplied Name: Biomark 601 PIT tag reader

Supplied Description:

Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags help scientists track individual organisms by providing a reliable lifetime 'barcode' for an individual animal. PIT tags are dormant until activated; they therefore do not require any internal source of power throughout their lifespan.To activate the tag, a low-frequency radio signal is emitted by a scanning device that generates a close-range electromagnetic field. The tag then sends a unique alpha-numeric code back to the reader (Keck 1994). Scanners are available as handheld, portable, battery-powered models and as stationary, automated models that are usually used for automated scanning.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: tracking tag

Generic Description:

Devices attached to living organisms with the purpose of determining the location of those organisms as a function of time after tagging and release.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
