    Description: The first comprehensive survey of basic physico-chemical water quality parameters along the South African coastline was carried out from 2016 to 2017, at more than 200 sampling sites. The west coast (Port Nolloth to Cape Town) was sampled 3 times, to establish seasonal variability associated with upwelling. The south- and east coasts (Cape Town to Sodwana) was sampled twice, to capture the influence of river runoff during high versus low river runoff conditions. The data can be used to assist with the revision of existing Water Quality Guidelines, which at present is inadequate due to a lack of comprehensive baseline data for these water quality parameters. The data also suggest areas of concern and that may be prone to land-based sources of pollution and eutrophication, and acidification, that will be discussed in more detail in manuscripts to be finalised.

    Description: A biogeochemical monthly climatology had been constructed for the Southern Benguela Upwelling System, from in situ data collected along a 10 station monitoring line, sampled at monthly intervals from 2001 to 2012. The monitoring line reaches a maximum offshore distance of about 150 km, with monitoring station depths ranging from 27 to 392 m. In addition to temperature, salinity and oxygen CTD profile data (at 1 m depth resolution), monitoring data for the macro-nutrients (phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate) and chlorophyll-a, obtained from bottle samples, are available at 3 to 9 depths at each station. This climatology provides valuable data of biogeochemical cycles in eastern boundary upwelling systems, and will be particularly useful for the purpose of validating ocean models.

    Description: In 2016 and 2017 the Department of Environmental Affairs conducted sampling at more than 150 sandy beach sites along the South African coastline, to quantify the extent of micro-plastic pollution at an average spatial sampling scale of about 15 km. Most of the sites along the west coast were sampled 3 times, to investigate seasonal variability. The east and south coasts were sampled twice, during low and higher river runoff conditions, respectively. At all sites, plastic micro-fibres were found to be the dominant micro-plastic constituents present, and the quantitative data for that is presented in this dataset. One of the problematic issues related to comparison of global micro-plastic pollutant levels, presently, is the lack of agreed to measurement methodologies and reporting units. This dataset represents results for samples taken along the high-level water mark, as a composite sample of about 1 L consisting of aliquots taken from at least 3 different sampling spots, sampled to a depth of 5 cm. The micro-fibre count is reported as the number of fibres per liter (or #F/dm3). In order to convert this to other units for comparison with other studies, sediment dry bulk density measurements are included. Data is also provided for the dominant sediment grain size (fine sand is 63 to 250 µm, and medium-coarse sand 250 µm to 1 mm) , and the temperature and salinity of surf-zone water at the time of sampling.

    Description: Underway water supply systems on modern research vessels allow for easy access to a continuous supply of near-surface seawater samples, that can be sampled inline and continuously, or discretely. Such sampling strategies are under-utilized and can provide data valuable for comparison with satellite observations of surface ocean properties, and investigation of sub-mesoscale variability and processes. This dataset represents two transects across the Agulhas Bank, a critical ocean area positioned at the southern tip of Africa, between the southern extremities of the Benguela and Agulhas Currents. On both transects discrete water sampling was carried out at 15 to 20-minute time intervals, while the ship was underway, for analysis of dissolved nutrients and chlorophyll-a; inline measurements for temperature, salinity and pCO2 were noted at each discrete water sampling point. The first transect was carried out on board the R/V SA Agulhas II in April 2014, and the second on board the R/V Algoa, in April 2015. The underway pCO2 data should be treated this caution, as the accuracy of the onboard calibration cannot be guaranteed; the data for pCO2 is included regardless, since the trends are potentially useful and interesting qualitatively.

    Description: There is increasing evidence for a global trend towards lower seawater dissolved oxygen levels, which poses a threat to marine ecosystem health. A particular concern is upwelling areas, such as the Benguela Upwelling System, that is predisposed to low oxygen levels with occasional catastrophic consequences for fisheries resources. In the Southern Benguela Upwelling System, the lowest seawater O2 levels are typically found in inshore bottom waters at relatively shallow depths on the shelf. In order to better understand the factors inducing low oxygen conditions, temporal trends, and to provide input to the Department of Environmental Affairs' annual State of the Oceans and Coasts Report, oxygen data had been collected approximately 3-monthly along 4 transects, since 2014. To this dataset had been added data collected on a random sampling grid in the vicinity of the monitoring lines. The dissolved oxygen, temperature and salinity data represent stations at a maximum depth of about 500 m, for cruises conducted on the R/V Algoa in: August 2014 (AUG14), October 2014 (OCT14), February 2015 (FEB15), May 2015 (MAY15), September 2015 (SEP15), November 2015 (NOV15), February 2016 (FEB16), May 2016 (MAY16), August 2016 (AUG16), November 2016 (NOV16), February 2017 (FEB17) and May 2017 (MAY17).

    Description: Several open-ocean mesoscale features, a "young" warm-core (or anti-cyclonic) eddy at 52°S, an "older" warm-core eddy at 57.5°S, as well as an adjacent cold-core (or cyclonic) eddy at 56°S, were surveyed during a R/V S.A. Agulhas II cruise in April 2014. The main aim of the survey was to obtain hydrographical and biogeochemical profile data for contrasting open-ocean eddies in the Southern Ocean, that will be suitable for comparison and modelling of their heat, salt and nutrient characteristics, and the changes that occur in these properties as warm-core eddies migrate from the polar front southwards into the Southern Ocean. A total of 18 CTD stations were occupied in a sector south of the South-West Indian Ridge, along three transects crossing several mesoscale features identified from satellite altimetry data prior to the cruise.

    Description: An inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP‐AES) method for the accurate and precise simultaneous measurement of the Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca content of carbonates was established. While a precision of 〈0.3% (1σ standard deviation (SD)) is easily obtainable for both Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca analysis, a Ca matrix effect complicates achieving similar levels of accuracy with conventional calibration procedures. An alternative ratio calibration procedure is proposed which overcomes the Ca matrix effects and ensures the accuracy of the Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca analysis of marine carbonates to 〈0.3%, almost an order of magnitude better than conventional calibration methods. The longer‐term precision is 〈0.1% if the batch run average values are corrected for longer‐term drift. The method is suitable for analysis of foraminiferal calcite and coral aragonite and can easily be adjusted for the analysis of other carbonates or microsamples.
