Descripción
Underwater sampling needs to strike a balance between time-efficient and standardized data that allow comparison with different areas and times. The roving diver survey involves divers meandering and actively searching for species and has been useful for producing fish species lists but has seldom been implemented for benthic taxa. In this study, we used this non-destructive technique to register species associated with kelp forests at the sub-Antarctic Bécasses Island (Beagle Channel, Argentina), detecting numerous species while providing the first multi-taxa inventory for the area, including macroalgae, invertebrates, and fish, with supporting photographs of each observation hosted on the citizen science platform iNaturalist. This research established a timely and cost-effective methodology for surveys with scuba diving in cold waters, promoting the obtention of new records, data sharing, and transparency of the taxonomic curation. Overall, 160 taxa were found, including 41 not reported previously for this area and three records of southernmost distribution. Other studies in nearby areas with extensive sampling efforts arrived at similar richness estimations. Our findings reveal that the roving diver survey using photographs is a good approach for creating inventories of marine species, which will serve for a better understanding of underwater biodiversity and future long-term monitoring to assess the health of kelp environments.
