Description
Through regular sampling surveys, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) is generating a long-term data series for the Belgian coastal water and sandbank system, a designated site in the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) network. This dataset contains the learning set used to initially annotate collected images. more

The data series is built from sampling activities initiated in 2012 in the framework of the LifeWatch marine observatory. Nine nearshore stations are sampled monthly, with an additional eight offshore stations sampled seasonally. The generated data series for zooplankton densities and size measurements is analysed using a ZooScan plankton imaging device together with the ZooProcess and Plankton Identifier software packages. The data are published under a CC-BY 4.0 license, allowing use of the data under the condition of providing the reference to the original source.This dataset contains the learning set.
