Monitoring Site Locations from Prince William Sound, Katmai National Park and Preserve, and Kenai Fjords National Park

Gulf Watch Alaska Nearshore Component:

Summary

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, nearshore monitoring component. Specifically, these data describe site locations for rocky intertidal, mussel sampling, soft sediment bivalve sampling, and eelgrass bed sampling in the northern Gulf of Alaska within the GWA program. The dataset consists of two comma separated files exported from a Microsoft Excel workbook. The data consists of 1. rocky intertidal, mussel sampling, and soft sediment site location information, and 2. eelgrass bed locations. Sampling will be conducted in Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM), Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ), Prince William Sound (PWS) and to a lesser extent on the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve [...]

Purpose

This data set contains specific location information for the sampling sites of the nearshore component of the Gulf Watch Alaska long term monitoring program. The number and location of sampling units differ among metrics, but in general the design calls for sampling at multiple locations within each area. Sampling locations were selected to provide a random, spatially balanced distribution. The design allows for detection of large temporal or spatial-scale changes. For some metrics the design will also allow for detection of changes that may occur on a more localized scale.
