To better understand the physiological effects of climate change and ocean acidification on marine organisms, information on the environmental conditions experienced in their natural habitats is required. Data from long-term monitoring studies capture in situ variability of environmental parameters that are used to relate experimental findings with field conditions. Elands Bay on the west coast of South Africa is a key location for such research and monitoring. It is a popular location for West Coast rock lobster (Jasus lalandii) fishing and therefore an important sentinel site for a commercial fishery species and the benthic communities upon which it depends. Low pH conditions exist along the west coast due to effects of upwelling, while cold-bottom waters in Elands Bay often result in low oxygen events responsible for mass walkouts of rock lobster. Additional exposure to extreme stressors associated with climate change can exacerbate impacts on their physiological processes. For example, acute thermal stress experienced during a marine heatwave may cause a rapid deterioration of cellular processes and performances beyond tolerance limits, affecting survival, growth and development. In South Africa, occurrences of marine heatwaves are increasing all along the coastline, and occur on average at least once a year. Data on temperature extremes are therefore important to design experiments and calculate thermal windows. We initiated long-term monitoring of inshore environmental parameters in Elands Bay by deploying temperature loggers in representative habitat types: intertidal rock pools varying in surface area, volume and position along the shore, sun-exposed habitats, and subtidal habitats. Five rockpools situated at least 5m apart were chosen, and in each rockpool, two HOBO TidbiT temperature loggers set to record temperature measurements every five minutes are deployed at different positions (always North facing) using two methods - (i) attached via a cable tie to an iBOLT drilled into the rock (usually at a shallow position), (ii) inside a plastic housing embedded in a cement mooring block (usually at a deeper position). The mooring block is held in place by a chain secured to a rock. Significantly different temperature readings between the two deployment methods are recorded, with iBOLT loggers usually yielding higher temperatures. Temperature loggers attached to iBOLTs are however more conspicuous and therefore subject to theft, with loss of data. Here we present the cleaned up version of temperature measurements from intertidal rockpools from 9 to 30 November 2022.
