CalCOFI Visualize Data Tools How Is Oxygen Changing In The California Current? Explore CalCOFI's data on oxygen levels, to explore how this critical component of the ecosystem varies naturally in the ocean off of the California coast and discuss how the changing climate's impact on oxygen places the vitality of life throughout the ocean at risk. CalCOFI.io Click Here This website is dedicated to enabling and generating online products using data from the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI). By streamlining data ingestion into the database, summary extraction of data from the database using a public-facing API, and making helper functions available in an R library, we can easily produce interactive applications and online reports of value to scientific and management audiences. Integrated Data App Click Here The app is initializing with a map comparing Pacific sardine larvae and temperature collected on CalCOFI cruises since 1949. A Shift Towards Sardines online book The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) is an organization that focuses on studying the marine environment surrounding the California coast in order to investigate the relationships between climate, fish population, and other human activities. Data Visualization Tool This app is an exploratory tool to visualize seawater characteristics off the coast of California from the CalCOFI dataset. The interactive graphics provide a tool to explore the variation of the following properties over space and time: dissolved oxygen concentration, temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll presence. Marine Mammal Data Visualization tool The purpose of this Shiny App is to provide scientists with an interactive tool to visualize marine mammal data collected onboard CalCOFI. Here we integrate multiple datastreams, highlighting how marine mammal visual sightings and eDNA detections are represented through time and space. Please stay tuned for the addition of acoustic detections in a future release. By integrating visual, acoustic, and genetic sampling methods, we hope to better understand the detection capabilities of each method for detecting marine mammals in their environment. This tool was developed as part of the MURI project. Code available here. Interactive map of long-term monitoring related to California Offshore Wind Development Explore essential ocean variables and monitoring programs vital for understanding the ecological and oceanographic impacts of floating offshore wind developments in California. Use the interactive dashboard to identify baseline data gaps and guide future monitoring. Best viewed on desktop. OceanView: a community science application to augment CalCOFI observations off the coast of California The OceanView app is designed to inspire users to actively participate in ocean observing and marine research, and to contribute to marine conservation efforts. The primary goals of the application are to enhance existing long-term marine life observations, such as the CalCOFI observations, along the coast of California by involving local community members in the collection of valuable marine species data. The OceanView application is a participatory citizen science application that allows recreational ocean users to upload detailed information on marine species they caught or observed, including the image of the organism, the species name, time, and location. The data collected will be used to support research and management off the coast of California and users of the OceanView app become active participants in the stewardship of California's coastal ecosystems, contributing to the broader mission of understanding and preserving our oceans.
