Metadata: Videos and still images of the seabed from the 2016 survey of Grand Anse Bay to St George's in Grenada
Abstract:
As part of the Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme (CMEP) Cefas collected 50 drop camera video tows of the seabed off the coast of Grand Anse Bay to St George's, in Grenada, to characterise the benthic fauna within the area and support the creation of benthic habitat maps. The videos and still images were acquired during the 2016 survey using a lightweight drop camera frame with a SubC camera, two lasers for scaling images and additional lighting for real colour images of the seabed. The drop camera frame was lowered to the seabed by hand from a vessel, with the video monitored to maintain a consistent height above the seabed. Tows were 15 minutes long with the vessel drifting in neutral so the distance covered in each tow varied. Sample depths ranged from 5-60 m and covered a range of habitats including bare sediment, seagrass, and coral and sponge dominated reefs. Still images were acquired every minute at a point when the seabed was clearly in focus.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 10765 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Videos and still images of the seabed from the 2016 survey of Grand Anse Bay to St George's in Grenada |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | CEFAScd18af41-1a7c-4af5-8310-9656e8373fe8 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS21134 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016-08-31 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2016-09-07 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This data holding contains the raw drop camera videos and still images for all the stations collected during this 2016 survey. Standard definition video were overlaid with station information, GPS and time, and high-definition video contain no overlaid metadata. Still images also contain no overlaid metadata as the GPS positions and extracted information are stored in the Proforma document. |
