Mollusc species type and counts from transects across coral reefs in the Phillippine Archipelago
This dataset consists of measurements of species type, count and size of mollusc species of the coral reefs in the Philippines. Sampling was conducted over four locations in the Philippine archipelago from 23 March 2012 to 19 June 2012. Data were collected through a field survey conducted by snorkelling and diving along a series of replicate transects from the shallow nearshore reef flat to a depth of 15m on the outer reef slope. The molluscs were counted, identified to species and measured (to gauge population structure and reproductive status). These surveys formed the field component of NERC Discovery Science project "Effects of coral reef habitat degradation and overexploitation on gastropod molluscs at the global centre of marine biodiversity". The project aimed to: Determine whether deteriorating quality of habitats in coral reef ecosystems, resulting from anthropogenic and other impacts, coupled with intensive artisanal fishing pressure, leads to a decline in gastropod mollusc abundance and species richness; Establish the trajectory of species loss in relation to these pressures by contrasting reefs within regions that have been degraded and/or exploited to differing extents. NERC Research Grant NE/I015566/1 funded the project. The grant is held by the University of York, Department of Environment and led by Dr Julie Patricia Hawkins. It ran from 01 September 2011 to 31 August 2012. Mollusc size and count data have been received by BODC as raw files and will be processed and quality controlled using in-house BODC procedures before being made available online in the future. Raw files are available on request from BODC Enquiries.

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

- Statement
-
This dataset was created by scientists for the 'Effects of coral reef habitat degradation and overexploitation on gastropod molluscs at the global centre of marine biodiversity collision' project, which ran from 2011 to 2012, following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves .
