This data collection consists of data collected as part of the Commonwealth Marine Economies Programme (1st April 2016 to 31st March 2020). The data includes two AWAC moorings off the east coast of St. Vincent (July to October 2018 and January to March 2019) and a number of discrete water and underway measurements taken around Belize using a semi autonomous surface platform, "C-worker", owned and managed by the National Oceanography Centre, UK. The AWAC data consists of current profile and water level data, whilst the Belize data consists of biogeochemical and hydrographic data as well as sediment biogeochemical data for blue carbon assessments. This work was funded by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Developmen Office (FCDO).
