Disclaimer:

Data on this platform are provisional and subject to limited or no quality control. They should not be used for quantitative analysis or treated as definitive values, but only to indicate general temporal or spatial patterns. Fully quality-controlled datasets will be made available after survey completion and should be used for all detailed analysis and reporting.

For access to quality-controlled data, refer to the Cefas Data Hub (Cefas Data Portal - Home) or contact data.manager@cefas.gov.uk. Plankton data are derived from the Plankton Imager Pi-10 classified using an edge-AI system (Pitois et al., 2025: Frontiers | RAPID: real-time automated plankton identification dashboard using Edge AI at sea), and environmental data are collected via a FerryBox system (Cefas FerryBox dataset DOI).
