description: The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) is a governmental research organisation operating under the supervision of the General Secretariat for Research and Innovation (GSRI) of the Ministry of Development and Investments. The HCMR comprises three Research Institutes: The Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture (IMBBC), the Institute of Marine Biological Resources and Inland Waters (IMBRIW) and the Institute of Oceanography (IO). The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research is the Greek national agency in charge of the study and the monitoring of the marine and freshwaters (physical oceanography and marine biology). Since its inception, a team was created in Crete to monitor marine biodiversity, and to develop databases for marine biodiversity. HCMR became the Regional OBIS Node for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea in 2006, providing about 140 datasets and 34017 occurrence records. Later, the datasets from the Black Sea were removed and managed by a dedicated Regional OBIS Node. In 2013, supported by the Ministry of Research, HCMR joined the European LifeWatch network that aims at developing a distributed research e-infrastructure for biodiversity data and data observatories under the ESFRI programme. LifeWatchGreece has constituted a large network of almost all institutions in Greece working on biodiversity including terrestrial ecosystems. Among other tasks, it has in charge to continue to maintain and develop the MedOBIS node, and also to establish the National GBIF node (in progress). MedOBIS provides access to data from a wide range of sources and time periods, including new and historical data sets. It actively contributes to global scientific effort for FAIR and OPEN data. When consulting and using information and data from MedOBIS, the general citation is as follows: MedOBIS data. Mediterranean node of the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (EurOBIS).

Biofouling of ship hulls in the Port of Algiers in 2021
type: Dataset
description: This dataset originated from a specific bio-surveillance field study conducted in the fishing port of Algiers during spring 2021 (Kacimi, 2021). Data was collected by scraping biological material from hard substrates like floating structures and port structures at specific stations. The dataset contains records of identified fouling species, including their taxonomic classification (across Porifera, Bryozoa, Ascidiacea), status (indigenous, non-indigenous, or cryptogenic), and estimated abundance (visual assessment or frequency). Taxonomic nomenclature was verified using the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS). This dataset serves as a baseline for future assessments of NIS in Algerian ports, though acknowledging limitations in taxonomic coverage and sampling extent.

Biodiversity of the upper-mesophotic octocoral habitats at Sporades Archipelago (Aegean Sea)
type: Dataset
description: The dataset describes the megabenthic biodiversity that has been recorded in five locations at the upper mesophotic zone of the National Marine Park of Alonissos Northern Sporades. The expedition ran in the summer of 2021 with a focus on the study of the structure of the octocoral habitats with emphasis on the forests of Eunicella cavolini and Paramuricea clavata. Non-invasive methods have been applied to collect the relevant information. This includes 4K GoPro cameras with lights and scaled laser beams along with an underwater camera system with strobes. The provided dataset is preliminary and far from being considered complete; however, it sets the foundation for new information to be added in future expeditions.

Citizen Science based jellyfish observations along the Israeli Mediterranean coast in 2011-2025
type: Dataset
description: Jellyfish observations (Citizen Science Data) are collected from the Israeli Mediterranean coast and sea since June 2011 via a webapp (www.meduzot.co.il). Observations are validated by experts in a two-tier process, once daily and again semi-annually. This data is used to alert the public to incoming swarms and helps us increase our knowledge of their behavior, ecology, phenology (e.g. Edelist et al. 2022; Levy et al. 2024), and taxonomy (Edelist et al. 2019). The project also educates and disseminates information about jellyfish sting prevention and treatment (Edelist et al. 2023). This data is also stored in the EU Iliad Project Ocean Information Model.

Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) Morphological Data of Chondrilla nucula and Hexaplex trunculus Subjected to Experimental Climate Change Conditions
type: Dataset
description: This dataset includes 3D morphological data for two invertebrate species, Chondrilla nucula and Hexaplex trunculus. These data are part of the MACCIMO project (https://maccimo.hcmr.gr/), which aims to assess the effects of climate change on sessile marine invertebrates. Such organisms are particularly susceptible to climate-related stressors due to their limited motility and inability to escape adverse environmental conditions. Within this framework, 3D analyses were performed using micro-CT scans to evaluate potential morphological changes associated with climate change impacts.

Sessile Benthic Assemblages in Northern Crete assessed from Photographic Quadrats (2008–2024)
type: Dataset
description: This dataset contains sessile benthic coverage data derived from photographic quadrat samples collected in two time periods (2008–2009 and 2024) at two coastal sites in Northern Crete: Alykes (Heraklion) and Elounda Bay (Agios Nikolaos). Sampling was conducted along two transects per site at five depths (1 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, and 20 m), using two quadrat sizes (25×25 cm and 100×100 cm) to capture replicate images. The data offer valuable insights into temporal shifts in sessile organism communities, highlighting changes potentially linked to climate change and the increasing presence of invasive herbivorous fish species, such as siganid fish and diademid sea urchins.

Eastern Mediterranean Syllidae from three locations, in Crete and Israel.
type: Dataset
description: This is a combined dataset originating from two projects: NaGISA (Natural Geography in Shore Areas, a long term monitoring project following a global protocol) and a study on the Benthos of Haifa Bay. Specimens from Israel were collected on 31.5.2009 and 11.10.2009 in Haifa Bay, (Israel, Eastern Mediterranean Sea) from soft sediments of mixed grain sizes in shallow waters. Sediment samples were taken with a Van-Veen grab (KAHLSICO, model WA265/SS214) 32x35cm, volume 20 l, penetration 20 cm. The sediment was preserved in buffered formalin 10% for 3–7 days, then sieved through a 250 µm mesh sieve and subsequently stored in 70% ethanol. Specimens from Crete were collected in September 2007 and June 2008 from two sites in northern Crete characterized by a continuous hard bottom habitat with dense algal coverage and a moderate wave exposure. At each site, two vertical transects with sampling depths at 1 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m were defined and five replicates were taken from each transect and depth.Samples were collected by means of SCUBA diving according to the NaGISA protocol (Iken and Konar 2003). A plexiglas frame (25 x 25 cm) with a net of 0.5 mm mesh size attached to its top opening was placed onto the rock and the surface within the frame was scraped off. The sample was collected by a manually operated suction device, supplied by air from an extra scuba tank. Large particles (>2 cm) were collected manually after suction. The samples were subsequently washed through a 0.5 mm mesh sieve, fixed and preserved in 99% ethanol. Specimens were examined under an Olympus SZx12 stereomicroscope and an Olympus BX50 microscope and identified by employing the most recent literature on Syllidae (e.g. Nygren 2004, San Martín 2003, 2005, San Martín and Hutchings 2006).

Polychaetes (Annelida) of Cyprus (East Mediterranean Sea)
type: Dataset
description: The current dataset includes information of the Polychaeta (Annelida) species recorded in coastal waters and the EEZ of the the Republic of Cyprus that were recorded between 1972 and 2022. Data come from a total of 31 bibliographic references (published articles and conference papers) and 44 new surveys. From the new surveys, the 30 were carried out as part of the annual implementation of environmental monitoring surveys of the open-sea aquaculture units that have to be implemented as part of the National Aquaculture Legislations, 7 surveys were Research funded Projects, 4 were Baseline Survey Assessments as part of the implementation of Environmental Impact Assessments, 2 were multiannual surveys that were carried out as part of the WFD and the MSFD and 1 was related to the Fisheries Data Collection Programme that are implemented in the Republic of Cyprus. The dataset includes 8044 records of polychaeta presence. For each record, when present, information are included on the taxonomy (NIS, Questionable species, Cryptic species), location (region, village/city, station), depth, habitat category, sediment type, TOM, TOC, association with flora (macroalgae/seagrasses) and human activities, on the project, the taxonomists/institution and any additional comments.The polychaetes were classified into 49 families and 585 polychaete species. A total of 205 species (54%) were recorded based on literature only, 149 (26%) were newly recorded based on own data, while a total of 231 spp. (40%) were recorded from both literature and new data. A total of 51 polychaete species were identified as non-indigenous; among them, 32 are confirmed as alien species, 4 are considered cryptogenic, and 15 are considered questionable as there are doubts about their identity. Data will be availiable in October 2023

Molluscs from two rocky shores (infralittoral zone) of the North coast of Crete, collected for the NaGISA project 2007-2008
type: Dataset
description: This dataset contains occurrence records of infralittoral molluscs from two infralittoral rocky shore sampling sites in northern Crete (Greece). Samples were collected for a monitoring project of infralittoral rocky shores in Crete, in the framework of the NaGISA project (Natural Geography in Shore Areas, http://www.coml.org/projects/natural-geography-shore-areas-nagisa). The two sampling sites are characterised by a continuous hard bottom habitat with dense algal coverage and a moderate wave exposure and are not impacted by detectable anthropogenic activity. At each site, five random replicate units were collected from each depth of 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m by placing a plexiglas frame (25x25 cm) on the substrate and scraping the framed area completely. The samples were then collected with an underwater suction device working with pressure from a diving bottle. Samples were washed through a 0.5 mm mesh sieve and fixed in 99% ethanol. In the laboratory, all samples were identified to the most precise taxonomic level possible, using the most recent literature for the phylum. The pollychaetes records are available as a separate dataset in the dataset "Polychaetes from two subtidal rocky shores of the North coast of Crete, collected for the NaGISA project 2007-2008" available at http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r=nagisa_species_2007_2008.

Marine impactful cryptogenic and alien species in the Greek Seas: A georeferenced dataset (1893-2020)
type: Dataset
description: The GreekMarineICAS geodataset was created as part of the project ALAS: Aliens in the Aegean – A Sea Under Siege project (https://alas.edu.gr/), with the aim to assess the spatial extent and potential impacts of alien species in the Aegean Sea, and to improve our understanding of the mechanisms driving the impacts of invasive alien species on native marine ecosystems. Methodology of data compilation: Initially, an ICAS catalogue was created, including species classified as of high impact in the European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN), or as invasive or of high impact in recent review papers. A thorough search was conducted to look for information on the presence of these species in the Greek Seas. Georeferenced data, along with information on the reported date / year of sighting, depth range, abundance and habitat type were compiled using all available types of data sources, including published scientific literature, grey literature (e.g., theses, technical reports, and newspaper reports), offline databases (including records from past projects of universities, research institutes, the ELNAIS database, and citizen science initiatives), online scientific or citizen science databases (Algaebase, GBIF, OBIS, iNaturalist - only research-grade data), social networks (e.g., Instagram and Facebook), as well as through field work involving scientific diving and interviews with marine scientists, fishers and divers that were carried out during the ALAS project. In situ underwater sampling during the ALAS project was carried out in 2020 at 156 sites, and all sampling was conducted using non-destructive visual sampling techniques via SCUBA or free diving, down to a maximum of 20 m depth. Moreover, an unstructured interview approach was applied during the respective interviews with marine scientists, fishers and divers, while a photographic guide of the targeted ICAS was produced and provided during the interviews to enhance the species verification process.

description: This historical dataset, available as "Pola" expedition: Mollusks - Biodiversity Heritage Library (biodiversitylibrary.org) pages 1-36, is related to the expeditions of the S. M. ship "Pola" in the eastern Mediterranean and the Adriatic. The great depths of the eastern Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea are considered very poor, even poorer than those of the western basin. The whole report is separated into two parts. The first part deals with the threshing results in the eastern Mediterranean (Expeditions I-IV, 1890-1893), while the second those in the Adriatic (Expedition V, 1894). Each part is preceded by a list of the stations that have delivered molluscs, with a precise explanation of the geographical location, habitat, depth and date of the sampling event. This historical paper is digitised through a Citizen Science Workshop organised by the Hellenic Centre in Marine Research in Lecce, 15 November 2023, using the Zooniverse platform.

Dataset
title: Edward Forbes. Report on the Mollusca and Radiata of the Aegean Sea, and on their distribution, considered as bearing on Geology. 13th Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, London, 1844.
description: A historical dataset, by Edward Forbes, Professor of Botany in King's College, London. This digitised report, requested by the British Association, refers to the Mollusca and Radiata inhabiting the Aegean and the Red Sea. The data upon which this report is founded have been entirely derived from a voyage of 18 months to the Aegean. The calculations have been based upon more than 100 fully recorded dredging operations in various depths and in many localities. The digitization process concerns the Appendix of the Report, which refers to the Examples of Dredging Papers, selected in order to show the associations of species in several regions. The numerous dredging operations on which this Report is founded were all registered in a similar manner.

Bathymetric distribution and temporal trends of macrobenthic communities of the continental shelf of Heraklion Bay (Crete-Greece)
type: Dataset
description: This dataset includes species composition and abundances of macrobenthic faunal communities along three transects of Heraklion Bay (H2, H5, H7). The H2 transect is located in the wider marine area of the wastewater treatment plant of Heraklion city. Sampling was carried out during three different sampling surveys and periods — June 2010, June 2015, and August 2024 — at different depths (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 and 200 m) along the soft-bottom continental shelf, as part of different research projects (MARBEFES, Marine Biology, Biotechnology & Aquaculture, monitoring program). A detailed comparison of species composition and abundance of macrobenthic faunal diversity among different depths and sampling periods is given, thus contributing to understanding the spatial and temporal trends and changes due to multiple environmental and human-induced stress.

Distribution records of Tunisian bryozoans reported in Northern Tunisian coasts since 2004
type: Dataset
description: Tunisian bryozoans are poorly studied, their knowledge was based especially on some old works. An updated list counting 201 was conducted by d’Hondt & Mascarell (2004) by adding to the previous literature data a total of 22 species. More recently, some studies carried out in northern Tunisia by Ayari et al. (2008; 2012a; 2012b; 2014 and 2022), resulted in the identification of 72 bryozoan species, among which 26 species were newly added to the Tunisian fauna. The dataset of the Tunisian bryozoans reported by Ayari since 2004 groups those signalizations giving information about their distribution and habitats.

Benthic communities and environmental parameters in three Mediterranean ports (Sardinia, Crete, Tunisia)
type: Dataset
description: Three seasonal sampling campaigns (winter, summer before touristic period, summer after touristic period) were implemented during 2012 in three Mediterranean touristic ports: Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), Heraklion (Crete, Greece) and El Kantaoui (Tunisia). Three to five stations were sampled per port, which were part of different port sectors (leisure, fishing, passenger, cargo, shipyard). Three water and three sediment replicate samples were collected per station for analysis of nutrients, pigments and hydrocarbons. One replicate was analysed for physical parameters, heavy metals and granulometry. Five sediment replicates were collected for analysis of benthic biodiversity. Benthic organisms were sorted to the main taxonomic groups (e.g. .Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata) and identified to species level.

H.Bachmann (1936) The fishery grounds near Alexandria. XIV. Phytoplankton from the Nile. Fisheries Research Directorate of Egypt, Notes and Memoirs No 22
type: Dataset
description: Egyptian plankton samples for revision as to its phytoplankton content. First samples are dated in 1933 owned by Prof. Steuer, while the other samples are from the Nile area and collected by Dr. Hans Amberg, in 1904. The samples that come from the large district of the Nile prove that the Melosira in Prof. Steuer's material represents a real phytoplankton component of Nile water and not merely a passive swimming organism.

Decapods collected with epibenthic sledge from Rhodes Isl., north-eastern Aegean Sea, Greece, June 2018
type: Dataset
description: The material listed here came from three sites of the Rhodian coastline, chosen according to their proximity to the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes. It was obtained within June 2018 from the coastal shallow waters of the island, over a mixed substrate of patches of Posidonia oceanica and sand with an epibenthic sledge bearing a bag made of plankton net with 1 mm mesh size, towed from a fishing vessel of 8.25 m length and a 38 Kw engine. Most samplings took place during the early night hours.

Seagrass meadow and macrofauna communities in Southern coast of Algerian Basin (El Mellah Lagoon), 2019
type: Dataset
description: This dataset is the main part of a study conducted monthly throughout 2019 at three stations selected due to their combined continental and marine influences. The study aimed to assess the health status of the El Mellah lagoon. The analysis of the spatio-temporal variation of angiosperms reveals significant changes in their distribution within the lagoon, which appear to be linked to fluctuations in the environmental conditions of El Mellah. It is observed that Zostera noltei (Hornemann, 1832) dominates the stations influenced by freshwater, while Ruppia maritima (Linnaeus, 1753) dominates the northern part of the lagoon, where the influence of marine waters is more pronounced. The invasive species Arcuatula senhousia, which was first observed in June 2019 in El Mellah, has been found attached to the leaves and rhizomes of Zostera noltei, and to a lesser extent, on the empty shells of the bivalve Cerastoderma glaucum. Since its introduction, it has dominated the bivalve community in El Mellah with a maximum density of 1321 ± 1167 ind.m-2. This phenomenon can lead to a decline in the biodiversity of the lagoon, particularly affecting the Zostera noltei seagrass and the threatened Cerastoderma glaucum species. It is necessary to conduct comprehensive studies to assess the impact of Arcuatula senhousia in the El Mellah lagoon to implement appropriate conservation and restoration measures to preserve the integrity of the ecosystem."

Polychaetes from two subtidal rocky shores of the North coast of Crete, collected for the NaGISA project 2007-2008
type: Dataset
description: This dataset contains occurrence records of subtidal polychaetes (Annelida) from two midlittoral rocky shore sampling sites in northern Crete (Greece). Samples were collected for a monitoring project of midlittoral rocky shores in Crete, in the framework of the NaGISA project (Natural Geography in Shore Areas, http://www.coml.org/projects/natural-geography-shore-areas-nagisa). The two sampling sites are characterised by a continuous hard bottom habitat with dense algal coverage and a moderate wave exposure and are not impacted by detectable anthropogenic activity. At each site, five random replicate units were collected from each depth of 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m by placing a plexiglas frame (25x25 cm) on the substrate and scraping the framed area completely. The samples were then collected with an underwater suction device working with pressure from a diving bottle. Samples were washed through a 0.5 mm mesh sieve and fixed in 99% ethanol. In the laboratory, all samples were identified to the most precise taxonomic level possible, using the most recent literature for the taxon. This dataset does not contain the records for the syllid species collected during this sampling campaign. The syllid records are available as a separate dataset (together with other syllid occurrences in the Eastern Mediterranean) in the dataset "Eastern Mediterranean Syllidae", available at http://ipt.medobis.eu/manage/resource?r=easternmedsyllids.
