Dataset title: Stationary camera observations, set, and environmental data from Shark Bay Marine Park, Western Australia from July 2011 to June 2012 Dataset ID: ST_TDCS_Heithaus_003 Research type: Short-Term Dataset Creator Name: Dr Michael Heithaus Position: coPI Organization: Florida International University, BBC, MSB 250A Address: 3000 NE 151 St North Miami, FL 33181 USA Phone: 305-919-5234 Fax: 305-919-4030 Email: heithaus@fiu.edu URL: http://www.fiu.edu/~heithaus/ Name: Dr. Cindy Bessey Address: , Western Australia Australia Email: cindybessey@hotmail.com Metadata Provider Organization: Florida Coastal Everglades LTER Program Address: Florida International University University Park OE 148 Miami, FL 33199 USA Phone: 305-348-6054 Email: fcelter@fiu.edu URL: http://fcelter.fiu.edu Dataset Abstract This dataset provides information on stationary video cameras set within the study area from 2011 to 2012, including animals viewed along with relevent environmental and camera data. These data provide insight into teleost communities that utilize various habitats within Shark Bay.
