Purpose:

To evaluate the biological diversity and trophic interactions among organisms ranging from primary producers to apex predators and from the deep-sea benthos to the coast. These data contribute to a food web model used to determine risks to ecosystem structure and function and regional economies following from extreme anthropogenic events (e.g., discharged and background hydrocarbon) and adaptive management strategies.

Data Parameters and Units:

Depth (m) Temperature [ITS-90, deg C] Conductivity [S/m] Pressure, Strain Gauge [db] Oxygen, SBE 43 [ml/l] Oxygen, SBE 43 [% saturation]Oxygen Saturation, Weiss [ml/l] Salinity, Practical [PSU]Fluorescence, WET Labs CDOM [mg/m^3] Fluorescence, WET Labs ECO-AFL/FL [mg/m^3]Turbidity, WET Labs ECO[NTU]
