Données sur le projet
The relationship between people and the ocean in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) has shifted dramatically over the past three decades, with rapid growth in tourism, coastal development, and fishing pressure placing increasing strain on fragile marine ecosystems. These pressures, compounded by climate change, threaten biodiversity and the long-term sustainability of TCI's economy, which is heavily reliant on healthy marine environments. While Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) were established as early as the late 1970s, many suffer from inadequate capacity for long-term monitoring and management and poor user compliance, limiting their utility. Currently, there is opportunity for meaningful conservation impact, due to an availability of compatible research equipment in the territory and heightened political interest locally in evaluating and possibly amending the MPA network. To target this opportunity, a network of 20-35 acoustic receivers will be installed across strategic areas spanning four existing MPAs, two proposed area extensions, and adjacent unprotected waters. The project will investigate species residency, habitat use, and area connectivity for approximately 90 animals across at least three ecologically and/or economically important target species (using surgically implanted Innovasea V13 and V16 transmitters). Mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) and whitespotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari) are identified as priority species in the initial phase, with southern stingrays (Hypanus americanus) selected as a third focal species. Findings will directly inform marine spatial planning, strengthen local management and monitoring capacity, and contribute to the establishment of the Turks and Caicos Acoustic Telemetry (TCAT) Network as a long-term shared resource for environmental monitoring and species conservation.

OTN is a research and technology development initiative headquartered at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. OTN is funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and is grateful to have once received funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). |
| Description du domaine détude / de recherche | No study area description for this project was provided to OTN for publication. |
| Description du design | A wide range of aquatic species are tagged with small electronic transmitters, surgically implanted or attached externally, which can operate for up to 20 years. Acoustic receivers arranged in line on the ocean floor as well as attached to buoys, gliders and large animals (e.g. grey seals) pick up the coded acoustic signals from these tags identifying each tagged sea creature that passes within half a kilometer of the receiver. Data collected by these listening stations are subsequently uploaded to one of many compatible data nodes, adding to the reach of an intercompatible network of networks designed and maintained by the Ocean Tracking Network, producing current and reliable records for every part of the globe. Certain classes of electronic tags and listening equipment (receivers) may also be outfitted or co-located with sensors to measure the ocean's temperature, depth, salinity, currents, chemistry, and other properties. |

| Contrôle qualité | OTN species names are verified using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). If species names on new data cannot be verified against (a) known valid names in OTN, and/or (b) WoRMs the Data Provider will be notified so they can check they are correct. Names that cannot be placed after checking with WoRMS are, where possible, placed on the basis of other authoritative sources, such as the Fishbase or ITIS; and once completely verified a request will be sent to WoRMS for addition of the verified species name. http://members.oceantrack.org/data/discovery/byspecies |
Description des étapes de la méthode:
- This resource was created by the Ocean Tracking Network Data Centre as a summarized representation of animal presence determined by electronic tagging efforts. Darwin Core (DwC) records were extracted from the OTN database and filtered and summarized according to international agreed-upon standards.
