Title:	MBON: Benthic percent cover in the Santa Barbara Channel
Alternate Identifier:	edi.484.3
Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	This study aims to quantify the percent cover of sessile species from shallow rocky reefs along the coast of Santa Barbara Channel, including the Channel Island National Park monitoring sites. BisQue (Bio-Imagery Semantic Query User Environment, a cloud-based analysis platform) was used to analyzed over 1500 images taken between 2013 and 2015 on the shallow reefs. This is the first phase of a bigger project that directs to improve the image analysis to complement or replace time-consuming in-situ surveys by divers. This data set contains percent cover and occurrence data of invertebrates, algae and fish from 22 subtidal rocky reef sites (Anacapa Landing, Arroyo Burro, Arroyo Quemado, Carpinteria, Cathedral Cove, Cuyler-Bat Rock, Diablo, Ellwood Mesa, Fry’s, Gull Island, Hazards, Isla Vista, Johnsons Lee-North, Mohawk, Naples, Pelican, Prisoners, Rhodes, Scorpion, Solimar, West-End and Cat Rock, Yellowbank). One survey image was collected at each site. Images were processed from 2015-2017 using BisQue with over 300 unique identifying tags. Data are organized in two tables (1) percent cover, (2) occurrence.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

For our subtidal surveys we used an SLR with a wide-angle lens mounted on a rigid-frame quadrapod to image shallow benthic and kelp forest communities at 22 subtidal rocky reef sites (Anacapa Landing, Arroyo Burro, Arroyo Quemado, Carpinteria, Cathedral Cove, Cuyler-Bat Rock, Diablo, Ellwood Mesa, Fry’s, Gull Island, Hazards, Isla Vista, Johnsons Lee-North, Mohawk, Naples, Pelican, Prisoners, Rhodes, Scorpion, Solimar, West-End and Cat Rock, Yellowbank) spanning the Santa Barbara Channel and several Channel Islands National Park monitoring sites at depths equal to or shallower than 60 feet. All surveys were conducted during daylight hours. The quadrapod image covered a rectangular area of approximately 68cmX45cm.

A team of divers was responsible for collecting the images. At each site, divers laid out three 20 meter transect tapes. All transects were marked with GPS start and end points. On all transects one diver reeled out the transect tape, and a second diver followed the tape and took pictures on even number meters starting at zero. The photographer took images of both horizontal and vertical reef structure on either side of the transect tape (two images per meter location). In some instances, large blades of brown algae dominated an image. If this was the case, the diver took a second image of the same location after clearing the large algae. These images were labeled as “primary,” meaning nothing was removed, and “algae removed,” meaning any image obstructing blades were removed before taking a second image. In some instances, one photo location may have up to 4 images, two “primary,” and two, “algae removed.”

All images were uploaded directly to BisQue as .CR2 files. Every image had a grid of 100 circles animated onto it. All 100 circles were annotated with the centermost species, substrate or no data category. We focused the annotations on sessile invertebrates and understory algae cover. Once the images were annotated with 100 points any species not captured in the 100-point analysis were tagged as present species for occurrence data. Data are organized in two tables (1) percent cover and (2) occurrence. All annotations were made manually by technician and undergraduate interns.

From our data set of >1500 images we have obtained >150K data points with 310 unique tags including individual species, species groups, and substrates. Identifiable taxa from the following were annotated, Annelida, Arthropoda, Chlorophyta, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Ectoprocta, Fish (Gnathostomata), Heterokontophyta, Mollusca, Phoronida, Porifera, and Rhodophyta. We have obtained very encouraging results on automated identification of the most abundant classes (over 80% of data points) with classification accuracy of over 85%.
