Data Management Plan (Deprecated)
GUID: gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:26470 | Published / External
This is an outdated version of the NOAA Data Management Plan template. InPort now supports a dedicated Data Management Plan Catalog Item type, which is up-to-date with the latest NOAA DMP template. The ability to generate Data Management Plans from Data Sets will be discontinued in a future release. Please see the Data Management Plan Help Guide to learn more.
Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
Surveys were completed at 1,656 locations, yielding 173 red snapper length and 159 red snapper age samples. Catches were greatest in waters off GA (n 133), and declined with increasing latitude off SC (n 39) and NC (n 5). Resulting size and age distribution data are available for planned 2014 stock assessment data workshops. Lengths ranged from 360 to 900 mm, with a mean length ( SD) of 612 115 mm and median of 620 mm. Ages ranged from 2 to 22 years, with a mean age ( SD) of 5.1 2.6 years and median of 5 years. These data will be combined with fishery-independent data from FL waters (collected in a separate but collaborative CRP-funded project to the FL Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission FWC) to accurately characterize the age distribution of red snapper throughout their range in the U.S. South Atlantic. Additionally, red snapper catch locations have provided new stations to NMFS fishery-independent surveys.

2. Point of Contact for this Data Management Plan (author or maintainer)
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. The support role must be in effect.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. This field is required if applicable.
3. Responsible Party for Data Management
Program Managers, or their designee, shall be responsible for assuring the proper management of the data produced by their Program. Please indicate the responsible party below.
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Data Steward" is used. The support role must be in effect.
4. Resources
Programs must identify resources within their own budget for managing the data they produce.
5. Data Lineage and Quality
NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.
(describe or provide URL of description):
Process Steps:
- Data were initially recorded (written) on data sheets on board commercial or for-hire fishing vessels, and subsequently entered into electronic format at the NMFS SEFSC Panama City Laboratory.
(describe or provide URL of description):
The data were error-checked at two levels - first by the NMFS SEFSC Bottom Longline Observer Program, and then by personnel in the NMFS SEFSC Beaufort Fisheries Ecosystems Branch.
6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.
Missing/invalid information:

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
