Biological specimen list of marine organisms collected from the West Antarctic Peninsula between 2017 and 2020
The ICEBERGS project aimed to understand the impact of retreating coastal glaciers upon benthic marine ecosystems along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). This was a collaboration project between University of Exeter, the British Antarctic Survey, Universidad Catololica de Santiago de Concepcion and Bangor University. During three research cruises (JR17001, JR18003 and JR19002) between 2017 and 2020, biological specimens along with other scientific data and samples were collected from three coastal fjords (i.e. Marian Cove, Borgen Bay and Sheldon Cove). The biological samples were collected using mainly a benthic Agassiz trawl and some using a Hamon grab and they were either preserved in ethanol or dry.

- Statement
- Some factors affecting the data: the samples collected were distributed among several collaborating institutions in the project. This is reflected in the ''''Final Destination'''' column of the dataset. The most up-to-date location of the specimens is recorded in this column. The main specimen collection was moved from University of Exeter to University of Portsmouth in 2022, which is reflected in the dataset, at which point a tally of the collection was done. This tally identified that the samples from JR18003 were missing from the collection and they are not present either at University of Exeter or University or Portsmouth and therefore are presumed to be located at BAS. Some other samples are also unaccounted for. This is all reflected in the dataset.
