Marine biodiversity data collected in support of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) project from 2015 to 2020
This dataset includes marine biodiversity data collected in support of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) project from 2015 to 2020. These data include fish, seabird and marine mammal survey data, biomass and abundance data, surface sediments data, as well as physical oceanographic and meteorological data, and other related data. These data were collected on AMBON research cruises and in other related efforts by various partner organizations.

Supplemental Information | Marine biodiversity is a key component of ocean health. Monitoring and understanding marine biodiversity is essential for our ability to forecast and respond to changes. The goal of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) project is to demonstrate and build an operational marine biodiversity observing network from microbes to whales, integrating diversity levels from genetic to organismal. The AMBON field region is located on the Chukchi Sea continental shelf in the US Arctic as a region exposed to climatic changes and anthropogenic influences. AMBON is funded by the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP), with contributions from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), Shell Exploration and Production Company, and the National Science Foundation (NSF). |
Purpose | To observe biodiversity from “microbes to whales”, using traditional taxonomic identifications as well as employing new genetic approaches. Biodiversity observations only make sense when placed into an ecosystem context, which requires the monitoring of the physical-chemical environment in which the organisms occur. |
