This data package is part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component and includes 10 child items with data pertaining to oceanographic conditions and the distribution, abundance, and morphology of forage fish in Prince William Sound. Child Item One: "Conductivity, Temperature, Depth Profile Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". The data include: (1) conductivity-temperature-depth profile data from Prince William Sound, Alaska. Child Item Two: "Forage Fish Aerial Validation Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". The data include: (1) fish aerial validation data from summer surveys in Prince William Sound, Alaska, and (2) taxonomic classification of fish encountered...

Data from the Capture and Collection of Non-Die-Off Seabirds Across Alaska

This data package contains one table with morphometric and diet information for "non-die-off" seabirds captured and collected in southcentral and southwest Alaska. Data pertains to birds captured (live) or collected (lethally) including, bird identification numbers, sampling dates, geographic locations, body measurements, diets (from either stomach contents or regurgitated prey), and sex and age of the bird when discernible. Common Murres (Uria aalge) and Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) were captured from their breeding colonies in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska, 2016-2023. Kittiwakes, murres, Glaucous-winged Gulls (Larus glaucescens) and Horned Puffins (Fratercula corniculata) were collected in Prince William...

Conductivity, Temperature, Depth Profile Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska

This is a child item of the USGS Data Release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F74J0C9Z. These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of multiple tables (one for each year of sampling), providing several physical oceanographic measures at sampling stations throughout Prince William Sound, Alaska. Data were collected with a Seabird Electronics conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiler equipped with various sensors and data were processed with Seabird Electronics software. Data include: date, time, latitude, longitude, depth, conductivity, temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, density, oxygen, pH, Par, sound velocity, beam...
