This set of CTD measurements places the fresh water discharge into the sea, which is located in Punta Esmeralda in the City of Playa del Carmen, State of Quintana Roo, in the Mexican Caribbean Sea. For these measurements two measuring instruments were used; a CTD for temperature and salinity profiles and a USGS type AA current meter to measure discharge to the sea, applying two methodologies for the measurement of volumetric flow according to FAO, (2009). Punta Esmeralda is a beach site that has three springs on the beach which form a freshwater lagoon about 60 meters long by 25 wide and a deep part of 1.6 meters. This lagoon is located at the coordinates 20.648372 ° N 87.050909 ° W. The discharge of water forms a small stream with a stream 6 meters wide with a bathymetric profile with a maximum depth of 0.40 m. These dimensions change over time due to natural and artificial processes. The fresh water discharge to the sea has an average flow of 0.2142 m3 /s , at an average speed of 0.1305 m /s. The sampling points with the CTD were a total of 61 and were distributed throughout the lagoon, the output of the three largest springs and a small "cenote" that is located about 76 meters away from the beach, were also performed sampling points in the sea at a distance of 100 meters from the coast and 2 meters deep. The salinity ranges measured in the springs was 4 UPS and it was increasing to the sea with 35 UPS. With temperatures in the springs from 25.8 ° C to 30.8 ° C in the sea.   Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.

This campaign was carried out on May 15, 2021 on the route between Puerto Juárez and the Arrowsmith Bank course or “Bajo del Este”, as the fishermen call it. The bank is located 40 km east of Punta Cancun at coordinates 21°05'00''N-86°28'00''W. The ship's captain Guillermo Antonio Carrillo Corzo alias the "Teacher", a pilot (Cap. Watermelon) and a sailor (El Chalán). The goal was carry out temperature and salinity measurements in the water column at each of the CTD stations. Direction: 10 stations with a separation of 4 km between each one were planned. Stations 1 to 6 were covered without difficulty; however, at station 7 the waves and the current increased their intensity considerably, so no progress was made to the following stations. the diagram salinity temperature profiles of each station (aligned West to East) The salinity is between 35 and 36 UPS and in turn from 28 °C to 25.5 °C. The depth ranges at the stations were from 1 to 57 m deep.

Researchers from INAPESCA, IPN-UPIICSA and UNICARIBE join forces to obtain and analyze oceanographic and fisheries information within the framework of the capture of red and rock shrimp in the fishing area known as the Caladeros de Contoy, which covers approximately 485 km2 about 70 km northeast of Cabo Catoche. The measurements were carried out over four days, from September 23 to 27, 2023. These campaigns are organized each year by the Regional Aquaculture and Fisheries Research Center of Puerto Morelos Quintana Roo belonging to the National Institute of Fisheries and Aquaculture (CRIAP- PM, INAPESCA) to generate information, and together with other elements, be able to define the shrimp ban year after year. In this campaign, 12 sampling points of accompanying fauna (FAC) in the shrimp fishery were covered. This year, 3 campaigns were carried out in which, in addition to the FAC samples, other additional measurements were also included and in this one the University of the Caribbean (UNICARIBE) participated through the Educational Program (PE) of Environmental Engineering (IA) of the Department of Basic Sciences and Engineering (DCBEI). The measurements carried out were oceanographic with CTD equipment (Acronym for Conductivity, Temperature, Depth), which measures temperature and salinity profiles. Plankton was also collected with a trawl net with a flowmeter and water samples were collected both on the surface and at depths of between 30 to 50 meters, to measure its quality and pH in situ. Videos of the seabed were also taken with a GoPro camera between 30 to 50 meters deep. In total, 6 plankton stations, 10 CTD and 7 water quality and pH stations were carried out and 5 videos of the seabed were captured. The sea conditions were calm (calm sea), except for two days with medium swells with waves up to 4 meters high and estimated currents of more than 1.5 m/s. These activities are also framed according to the Collaboration Agreement between UNICARIBE and the Interdisciplinary Professional Unit of Engineering and Administrative Social Sciences (IPN-UPIICSA), of the Chemistry Academies. The collaboration agreement between UNICARIBE and INAPESCA is in process.  Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.

The Universidad del Caribe responds to the demand for technical support for a workshop with the aim of verify environmental parameters with the use of Technology Applied to Information Registration and GPS, for the monitoring of points of interest, like define the study area, its physical description and its natural context,  operate measuring instruments and apply measurement procedures and create databases and metadata. 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.

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.

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.
