Surface Marine Carbonate System Data (2019-2024) from Volunteer Observing Ship monitoring across the Western Mediterranean Sea
<p><strong><span><span>1.<span> </span></span></span></strong><strong><span>Introduction</span></strong></p> <p><span>We present here a high-resolution dataset which spans five years (February 2019 - February 2024) and is based on weekly physicochemical observations of the surface waters along the western boundary of the Mediterranean Sea. Data were automatically collected by a Surface Ocean Observation Platform (SOOP) operating in underway mode aboard the Volunteer Observing Ship (VOS) MV JONA SOPHIE (formerly RENATE P until November 2021), a container ship managed by Nisa Maritima on the route between the Canary Islands and Barcelona. A total of 92 routes were completed in the Mediterranean Sea during the observation period.</span></p> <p><span>The SOOP CanOA-VOS line, designed and maintained by the QUIMA research group at IOCAG-ULPGC, is part of Spain’s contribution to the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS-ERIC) since 2021 and is recognized as an ICOS Class 1 Ocean Station, ensuring that the measurement equipment and data collection techniques meet ICOS-ERIC's high-quality standards and methodological recommendations. The data collected is also available at the ICOS Data Portal (<a href="https://www.icos-cp.eu/data-products/ocean-release">https://www.icos-cp.eu/data-products/ocean-release</a>).</span></p> <p><strong><span><span>2.<span> </span></span></span></strong><strong><span>Data collection</span></strong></p> <p><span>The dataset includes continuous monitoring of CO<sub>2</sub> levels in both surface ocean and low atmosphere, following protocols to ensure data comparability and quality given by Pierrot et al., (2009). A detailed description is provided by Curbelo-Hernández et al., 2021a, 2021b). An automated CO2 molar fraction (xCO2) measurement system, developed by Craig Nail and commercialized by General Oceanics™, was installed on the ship. This system integrates air and seawater equilibrators with a non-dispersive infrared analyzer by LICOR® for xCO2 detection. The analyzer is regularly calibrated using standard gases provided by the NOAA, traceable to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). They were in the order of 0 ppm, 250 ppm, 400 ppm and 550 ppm until January 2021, when the gas bottles for standard 2 to 4 were changed for a new set with concentrations in the order of 300 ppm, 500 ppm and 800 ppm. </span></p> <p><span>In addition to xCO2, sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS) were monitored using high-precision instruments. The SST was monitored by using a SBE38 thermometer placed at the main seawater intake in the engine room, with a reported error of ±0.01ºC. A SBE45 thermosalinograph and a Hart Scientific HT1523 Handheld Thermometer, with reported errors of ±0.01ºC, were used to monitor the temperature at the entrance of the wet box and inside the equilibrator, respectively. The SBE45 thermosalinograph measured the sea surface salinity (SSS) with an estimated error of ±0.005.</span></p> <p><span>Discrete seawater samples were also collected during three round trips in February 2020, March 2021, and October 2023, for further analysis of total alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon. </span><span>A total of 102 discrete samples has been collected in the Mediterranean Sea. Total alkalinity (AT) and total inorganic carbon (CT) were determined using a VINDTA 3C according to Mintrop et al., 2000. AT was analyzed via potentiometric titration with HCl, following the carbonic acid endpoint method (Millero et al., 1993; Dickson and Goyet, 1994), while CT was determined through coulometric titration (Johnson et al., 1993). The VINDTA 3C was calibrated using Certified Reference Material (CRMs) by A. Dickson, ensuring an accuracy of ±1.5 </span><span>μ</span><span>mol kg-1 for AT and ±1.0 </span><span>μ</span><span>mol kg-1 for CT.</span></p> <p><span>The dataset contains some gaps, including a year-long gap from September 2021 to 2022 due to vessel maintenance and shorter gaps due to technical issues, which were addressed during routine maintenance. Some technical issues in 2020 were delayed due to COVID-19 constraints.</span></p> <p><strong><span>3.

Co-design of a citizen science study: unlocking the potential of eDNA for volunteer freshwater monitoring
<ol> <li>Citizen science is increasingly being promoted as a means of gathering more data to help inform the management of ecosystems. Involving the participants in the design of data collection activities is a form of co-design often proposed by those calling for a translational ecology.</li> <li>In addition, novel monitoring approaches have the potential to improve the quality of data collected by citizen scientists. We explored the potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) for vertebrate (mainly fish) species monitoring through a co-designed catchment monitoring strategy. </li> <li>Having been introduced to the potential of eDNA, citizen scientists designed and executed an eDNA-based survey of a small chalk stream catchment to explore questions of concern.</li> <li>The eDNA monitoring approach provided data about fish and other vertebrate diversity in the catchment which would have otherwise required sampling approaches difficult for citizen scientists. These data give a preliminary answer to some of the citizen scientists' priority questions and are comparable to fish data collected through traditional electrofishing surveys.</li> <li>Recommendations are offered for co-design and the use of novel research techniques by citizen scientists.</li> </ol>

NH Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Watershed Management Bureau Biology Section: Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP) Environmental Monitoring data, 1995-2014
The New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment Program was initiated in 1985 in response to an expressed desire of lake associations to be involved in lake protection and watershed management. VLAP is a cooperative program between volunteer monitors and the DES which leads to local awareness of land use and human practices that may be detrimental to lake quality and also empowers communities in their decision-making regarding lake management issues. The three major partners are the NHDES Biology Section, numerous volunteer monitors located throughout the state, and the VLAP satellite laboratories. Sara Steiner, NHDES VLAP Coordinator (who reports directly to Jody Connor, the Limnology Center Director and VLAP Program Manager), has the overall responsibility for training the volunteer monitors throughout the state in sample collection and watershed monitoring, conducting annual site visits and training interns to conduct annual site visits. NHDES and the volunteer monitors will collect samples from their lake/pond and its watershed, and will then bring samples to the NHDES Limnology Center, the Lake Sunapee Region Laboratory at Colby Sawyer College in New London, or the Environmental Research Laboratory at Plymouth State University in Plymouth. The purpose of VLAP is to assess the chemical and biological characteristics of the lakes and ponds throughout the state to determine overall health of the system. Environmental results are measured by making comparisons to established means and ranges of water quality for the state of New Hampshire. Chemical, biological, and physical parameters are measured and compared to lakes throughout the state. This data is provided to NHDES and the volunteer monitors. The data is used by the NHDES for assessment, education, and reporting purposes. The data are used by the volunteer monitors for educational purposes and for guiding local lake management activities. Volunteers collect water at least once per month during the summer (June –
