This dataset includes data of plastic litter collected by citizens and students during 12 campaigns that were organised in Crete (Greece) during the period May 2022 – May 2023. The campaigns were organized within the framework of the NAUTILOS Horizon 2020 project. More specifically the number of plastic litter items per category (using the J code List of the EMODnet Chemistry Thematic Lot n°4) was recorded together with information about the location, date, surface area covered, data contributor and some environmental characteristics (sediment, weather, surroundings).

The Universidad del Caribe responds to the demand for technical support for the elaboration of specific bathymetric charts for a polygon of 458 Ha that is located between the Isla Contoy National Park and Cayo Alcatraz. The objective was to make a bathymetric map of the polygon and point out the main characteristics or morphological features. Likewise, CTD cast were carried out to have a database with future application to mariculture, with the purpose of contributing to the economic development of communities in Quintana Roo through economic diversification and regional cultural identity and promoting fair trade and solidarity that favor the production and consumption of original products.This activities of the Node for the Promotion of the Social and Solidarity Economy (NODESS) called Selva, Mar y Comunidad Pre Registration Folio SINCA_PNSS_20_00009_INAES, made up of the Universidad del Caribe, Directorate of Economic Promotion of the H. Ayuntamiento of Lázaro Cárdenas, Muuch Kaab Cooperative, Cooperative University of Community Innovation, Mar de las Antillas Cooperative and Tianguis del Mayab. This technical report is at the request of the Cooperativa Mar de las Antillas.

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They are currently exposed to increasing levels of anthropogenic perturbations. Several recent reviews point to the lack of good indicators for these perturbations especially to monitor their effects on fish populations or fish assemblages. The SW lagoon of New Caledonia is an ideal location to test indicator species in this context as contrasting sites are present within a small geographical range. This study analysed fish from four sites, one with heavy industrial pollution, another dominated by domestic waste, a third with historic mining activities, and the fourth as a control. The butterfly fish, Chaetodon speculum, was chosen to determine C. speculum’s potential as an indicator species due to its link to coral, its sedentary behaviour and its wide geographical distribution. The size distribution, growth rate, age distribution and whole otolith composition were analysed at each site. Age and mean growth rate were analysed from daily increments of the otoliths. The concentrations of eight elements (Li, Mg, Co, Cu, Rb, Sr, and Ba) were measured by ICP-MS in the otoliths. The sites under anthropogenic impact were distinct from the control site by fish size frequencies, age distributions, and the chemical content of their otoliths. The chemical elements Mg, Co, Cu, and Rb showed differences amongst sites. Fish belonging to the sites furthest from Noume´a could be discriminated in nearly 80% of samples or 60% of the cases when otolith weight or fish age respectively were taken into account. Ni concentrations of the otoliths were also higher in the bays where water concentrations of this element were known to be higher, but these differences were no longer significant once corrected for otolith weight.

This dataset contains real-time total dissolved iron concentrations ((Fe(II) + Fe(III); µmol/l) acquired from the EMSO-Azores seafloor observatory from September 2013 to February 2014 (n=332). Data are purchased by the CHEMINI Fe (CF1), a CHEmical MINIaturized analyser dedicated to in situ determination of iron concentrations (every 24 hours, with in situ calibration using a 25 µmol/l iron standard, Vuillemin et al., 2009). The instrument is deployed on TEMPO part of Seamon East environmental monitoring node. The sample inlet is located on a mussel bed at the base of the Eiffel Edifice at 1695m depth.

Students and researchers at the University of the Caribbean together with members of the Cooperative Sea of ??the Antilles, conducted an oceanographic campaign at the site called cayo Alcatraz, where there are two underwater springs also known as “ojos de agua”. These springs are located within the polygon of the protected area of ??the Mexican Caribbean Biosphere Reserve, to the west of Isla Contoy National Park. The purpose of the campaign was to begin studies of the environmental conditions and reconnaissance of the site. The measuring instruments used were; SonTek CastAway-CTD, and a Gopro Black 7 camera.  were made a set of 12 temperature, salinity, and conductivity profiles. Water samples were also taken for subsequent microbiological analysis.
