BCO-DMO is preparing to move to a new data access system that provides more functionality and features. This system, called ERDDAP, is free and open source with a strong and growing user community. Currently, we are providing the following data access and download capabilities for datasets as we work through our legacy data holdings. These capabilities will soon be available for all data at BCO-DMO:Data Access
- - view the data in an HTML table
- - filter the data before viewing or downloading in a variety of formats
- - download the data with comma-separated values (Excel-ready)
- - download the data with tab-separated values (Excel-ready)
- - download the data as GeoJSON. Try it out at geojson.io
- - download the data as a valid MATLAB file
- - download the data in NetCDF format

Ecological monitoring of algae on Isla Natividad from 2006 to 2021
Abstract:
This dataset encompasses information about algae transects between 2006 to 2021 in Isla Natividad, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Abundances of algae and the number of stipes of each individual algae can be found in the data set. Also, the dates when the transects were done, the site, the name of the diver, the depth the transect was laid, if the site was a marine reserve or not, if the site is inside a marine protected area or not, the latitude and longitude of the sites, the temperature of the water, the number of transect from where the information was counted, and the species name of algae counted.
Ecological monitoring is important to collect data of species that inhabit an specific ecosystem. For this data set, we present all the data form 2006 to 2021 on algae, marine invertebrates, fish and uniform point contact at six different sites in Isla Natividad off the coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Data was collected once a year by trained divers as a collaborative effort from Stanford University, non-governmental organizations, and fishing cooperative federations. These data provides the abundaces of algae, invertebrates, fish and substrate of Isla Natividad over the spam of 15 years and may be use to assess changes in the ecosystems after shocks such as hypoxic events or marine heatwaves.
