Raw temperature data for long-term observations of bottom temperatures at Pondoland (October 2015 - August 2016)
Here we present raw temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 18.1m off Pondoland (31.2930°S 30.0168°E), along the east coast of Southern Africa, between between 31 October 2015 and 12 August 2016. Note that the data that falls outside of these dates is not from the deployment. At selected sites around Southern Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m....

Benthic invertebrate presence data, in and around the Cape Canyon (Southern Benguela Upwelling region)
Canyon research is still an emergent field in South Africa and the true potential of canyons as biodiversity hotspots has seldom been studied in an integrated context. In response to this, the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment: Oceans and Coasts collected benthic data to better understand benthic species profiles within and around the Cape Canyon. This equated to 39 stations (whereby 13 were canyon and 26 non-canyon) and yielded 180 species.
Seaglider test data collected during GINA 2017 by Seaglider SG574 in Cape Town harbour
