abstract: The Deep Sea Coral and Sponge Aleutian Islands DropCam Survey from 2012 to 2014 dataset includes approximately 2100 GB of TIFF image files from the 2012 and 2014 underwater camera surveys of the Aleutian Islands conducted by NOAA AFSC of deep-sea coral and sponge grounds. This project was an effort to characterize benthic diversity for deep-sea benthic and near-benthic fauna for the first time. Images collected across two-hundred sixteen transects, in a 15 min tow per transect, were successfully completed in an area which extended west from Akutan Island to Near Pass and north from Amchitka Island to the top of Bowers Bank in the Bering Sea. Various corals, sponges, hydrocorals, sea pens, sea whips, demersal fishes, and crab fauna were imaged using a stereo drop camera with two machine-vision cameras spaced approximately 30 cm apart in underwater housings, connected via Ethernet cables to a computer also in an underwater housing. One of the paired cameras recorded 1.45 megapixel monochromatic still images, while the other camera collected 1.73 megapixel color still images.
purpose: This comprehensive data provides a baseline for Aleutian Island deep-sea megafaunal abundance and community composition.
