TASIFE stations (photo and video sled) Campaign CIRCAN2023 (EEMM)

Description

The information contained in this data set corresponds to the samplings carried out by sleigh-photo-video TASIFE, during the CIRCAN2023 oceanographic campaign, carried out between 25 January and 14 February 2023. Specific campaign of the monitoring program of the sedimentary circalittoral and bathyal (HB4) of the Marine Strategies of Spain. This is the representation of the spatial distribution of the different transects made by TASIFE. The area covered by the data provided covers infralittoral and circalittoral bottoms, between 73 and 1067 metres deep, on the islands of El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera and Tenerife. It is a data set composed of linear elements. Each object is associated with a series of alphanumeric variables such as the name of the haul, the name of the campaign, the date and georeferencing, according to the ESMM GIS protocol. The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database. The development of this set of geographical information started in January 2023, thanks to the CIRCAN2023 oceanographic campaign. The geographical information collected is stored in a spatial database. This work has been financed thanks to the project ‘Technical Scientific Advice for the Protection of the Marine Environment: Evaluation and Monitoring of Marine Strategies, Monitoring of Protected Marine Areas of State Competence (2018-2024)’. Marine Strategies are the marine environmental planning instrument created under Directive 2008/56/EC (as amended by Directive 2017/845) establishing a framework for Community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive), and have as their main objective the achievement of the Good Environmental Status (GES) of our seas. The 11 Good Environmental Status descriptors form the basis for the description and determination of good environmental status of the marine environment. They are established by the Directive in its Annex I. The marine assessment areas are located within the Marine Reporting Units (MRUs) defined in the framework of the Marine Strategies of Spain.
