Community-Led Deep-Sea Ecological Observation Protocol🌐Traduire

Pitch

Rédigé par l’équipe. Pas une offre d’investissement, pas un conseil.

Problème

Les écosystèmes marins profonds de la République dominicaine manquent de données écologiques suffisantes en raison de recherches coûteuses et complexes. Un projet pratique pourrait aider à combler cette lacune en utilisant des ressources locales.

Ce qu’ils construisent

A printed or digital observation checklist and guide, piloted by a university marine biology department with up to 10 trained students and local fishers over one month. The trial covers accessible deep-sea bycatch at local ports and any opportunistic strandings, with data submitted weekly for review.

Pourquoi c'est important

Whether a locally-adapted, low-cost observation protocol increases the quantity and quality of ecological data collected from deep-sea environments compared to previous ad hoc or expert-only efforts. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 50 unique ecological observations (species or interactions) recorded by 10 participants over 30 days, with 80% completeness of checklist fields. Baseline: Number of comparable observations from previous month (if available). Measured by c
