The superficial sea temperature (SST) map package was built with daily-mean data at high spatial resolution (0.01 degree) remotely collected between 2008 and 2020. The maps were also built over the four quarters of the time period. These layers are provided with the suffixes Q1 to Q4. The SST trend maps show the increasing or decreasing trend of SST over the selected time period.

Map showing the distribution of loggerhead turtle nests (Caretta caretta) in the Campania Region between 2002 and 2021.

List of the main cations and anions found in hydrothermal fluids of the sampled sites.

Adult females of Temora stylifera and Acartia clausi, sorted from the mesozooplankton sample, incubated for 24h in natural surface seawater collected at the same sampling station, to assess fecal pellet production (pellets/female/day) and egg production (eggs/female/day). After 48h, calculated the hatching success of these eggs (% hatching success). Individual parameters converted into population parameters in situ, taking into account female abundance at the same station and defined as egg/m3 and nauplii/m3. The file ‘produzione copepodi_tutti’, contains mean and SD of the above parameters, for each of the sampled copepod species.

The Underwater Coastal Environment Monitoring Protocol is a Citizen Science initiative aimed to assess the ecological status of the Mediterranean marine coastal habitats. SCUBA divers and snorkelers contribute with their surveys. The web service provides information about the surveys, the environments, the habitats and, the species,
