    Description: Temperature and conductivity fluctuations caused by the hydrothermal emissions released during the degasification stage of the Tagoro submarine volcano (Canary Islands, Spain) have been analysed as a robust proxy for characterising and forecasting the activity of the system. A total of 21 conductivity-temperature-depth time series were gathered on a regular high-resolution grid over the main crater of Tagoro volcano. Temperature and conductivity time series, as manifestations of stochastic events, were investigated in terms of variance and analysed by the Generalised Moments Method (GMM). GMM provides the statistical moments, the structure functions of a process whose shape is an indicator of the underlying stochastic mechanisms and the state of activity of the submarine volcano. Our findings confirm an active hydrothermal process in the submarine volcano with a sub-normal behaviour resulting from anti-persistent fluctuations in time. Its hydrothermal emissions are classified as multifractal processes whose structure functions present a crossover between two time scales. In the shorter time scale, findings point to the multiplicative action of two random processes, hydrothermal vents, which carries those fluctuations driving the circulation over the crater, and the overlying aquatic environment. Given that both temperature and conductivity fluctuations are nonstationary, Tagoro submarine volcano can be characterised as an open system exchanging energy to its surroundings.

    Description: The Central and South Atlantic represents a vast ocean area and is home to a diverse range of ecosystems and species. Nevertheless, and similar to the rest of the global south, the area is comparatively understudied yet exposed to increasing levels of multisectoral pressures. To counteract this, the level of scientific exploration in the Central and South Atlantic has increased in recent years and will likely continue to do so within the context of the United Nations (UN) Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Here, we compile the literature to investigate the distribution of previous scientific exploration of offshore (30 m+) ecosystems in the Central and South Atlantic, both within and beyond national jurisdiction, allowing us to synthesise overall patterns of biodiversity. Furthermore, through the lens of sustainable management, we have reviewed the existing anthropogenic activities and associated management measures relevant to the region. Through this exercise, we have identified key knowledge gaps and undersampled regions that represent priority areas for future research and commented on how these may be best incorporated into, or enhanced through, future management measures such as those in discussion at the UN Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction negotiations. This review represents a comprehensive summary for scientists and managers alike looking to understand the key topographical, biological, and legislative features of the Central and South Atlantic.

    Description: We used carbon and nitrogen stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) analyses to investigate the trophic network of the CWC reef habitat off Angola (SE Atlantic Ocean). Samples were collected in January 2016 during the M122 (“ANNA”) expedition on board R/V Meteor. In total, 18 reef sites, including seven CWC mound settings over a bathymetric range of 250 to 530 m water depth, were sampled for stable isotope analyses. Samples of organisms belonging to the taxa Porifera, Cnidaria, Arthropoda, Annelida, Echinodermata and Chordata were collected by means of a box corer, a Van-Veen grab sampler and the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) SQUID (MARUM, Bremen, Germany). To investigate potential food sources of the benthic megafauna, three types of Particulate Organic Matter (POM) were collected: Suspended Particulate Organic Matter (SPOM) was collected with a McLane phytoplankton pump; settling SPOM was collected with a sediment trap (SPOM trap) and sediment samples were collected with a box corer and a grab sampler. Analyses of benthic megafauna were performed using a Elementar IsoPrime 100 isotope ratio–mass spectrometry (IR–MS) (IsoPrime Ltd.) coupled to a CNS elemental analyzer (Elementar Vario Pyro Cube EA CNS; Elementar Analysensysteme GmbH), while POM samples were analyzed by a Delta V Advantage IR–MS coupled online to an elemental analyzer (Flash 2000 EA-IRMS) by a ConFlo IV (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). Vienna Pee Dee belemnite (V.P.D.B.) for carbon, and atmospheric N2 (Air) for nitrogen, were used as reference materials, and stable isotope values are reported in respect to that.

    Description: This dataset includes 11 regional EUNIS-classified habitat maps (100-1000 km) and associated confidence maps that were created as a project milestone (Nr. 12) of the EU H2020 project 'iAtlantic'. The 12 iAtlantic regions encompass 1. Subpolar Mid-Atlantic Ridge, off Iceland MFRI, 2. Rockall Trough to PAP, 3. Central mid-Atlantic Ridge, 4. NW Atlantic, Gully Canyon, 5. Sargasso Sea, 6. Eastern Tropical North Atlantic, Cape Verde, 7. Equatorial Atlantic, Romanche Fracture Zone, 8. Slope & margin off Angola & Congo Lobe, 9. Benguela Current, Walvis Ridge to South Africa, 10. Brazil margin & Santos and Campos Basin, 11. Vitória-Trindade Seamount Chain and 12. Malvinas Current. For each of the regions 2-12, a shapefile of polygons classified according to the 2022 EUNIS classification level 3 and a second shapefile of the same polygons attributed with their confidence level according to the MESH Accuracy & Confidence Working approach was created. EUNIS classifications combined biozone and substrate data. Biozones were assigned from bathymetry. Where MBES was not available, GEBCO bathymetry was used. Substrate data were extracted from pre-existing geological/substrate mapping efforts and converted to EUNIS classifications via cross walks or, where substrate data were limited, substrate layers were modelled using Random Forest. The EUNIS habitat map for Region 4 was based on the pre-existing surficial geology compilation of the Scotian Shelf bioregion compiled by the Geological Survey of Canada. The EUNIS habitat map for Region 9 was based on the pre-existing South African habitat map that uses a modified IUCN hierarchical classification system. No additional information to that used in the EUSeaMap was available for Region 1. Therefore, shapefiles were not created for Region 1.

    Description: Presence-absence records for four cold-water coral (CWC) taxa (Enallopsammia rostrata, Acanella arbuscula, Metallogorgia spp. and Paramuricea spp.) were gathered to conduct distribution models on seamounts (Cadamosto, Nola, Senghor and Cabo Verde) of the Cabo Verde archipelago (NW Africa), covering a bathymetric range from 2100 to 750 m water depth. Data were extracted from video footage collected with Remotely Operated Vehicles during the M80/3 Meteor (2010) and the iMirabilis2 (2021) research expeditions. Video data from the iMirabilis2 expedition was analysed, quantitively, using the open-source software BIIGLE (Langenkämper et al. 2017). Observations from five continuous 1 to 2 km-long video transects between 2000 and 1400 m depth at Cadamosto Seamount were converted into presence-absence data points. Similar data were not available for the seamounts explored during M80/3 Meteor. However, all the available images and short video clips from that expedition were analysed to identify presence and absence points for each of the four target CWC taxa. All the available presence/absence data from the two expeditions was transformed into one point per grid cell of a 100 m resolution bathymetry grid, with the prevalence of the presence records over the absence records, in grid cells where both categories overlapped.
