"In 2017 and 2018, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) co-led multidisciplinary expeditions onboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ships (CCGS) Martha L. Black and Hudson to the Laurentian Channel Marine Protected Area (MPA - Area of Interest at the time). One of the objectives of these expeditions was to collect seafloor imagery in support of baseline data collection for the MPA. Benthic surveys were conducted using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) ROPOS (2017) and the drop-camera system Campod (2018). Images from these surveys were utilized to develop a seafloor imagery identification guide to the epibenthic megafauna of the Laurentian Channel MPA. We analyzed 2422 Campod downward-looking images using the open-source image annotation platform BIIGLE to inventory the observed taxa and to select representative images, in combination with supplementary ROPOS imagery. This guide was developed to facilitate species identification from imagery and to increase consistency in imagery analysis annotation, particularly for use in the monitoring of benthic communities in the Laurentian Channel MPA"--Abstract, page iv.
