Item Identification

Title: Jamaica Beach Projects 1982-1993
Status: Completed
Abstract:

We used data from 1984 samples taken approximately monthly over 11 yrs (1982 to 1993) with a drop trap sampler that sampled an area of 2.6 m2 to quantify and compare nekton densities along Spartina alterniflora marsh-edge and adjacent shallow nonvegetated bottom in Carancahua Cove, Galveston Bay estuary, Texas, USA. We also used a Geographic Information System (GIS), aerial photography, and population models to track changes in wetland area and trends in fishery populations over time.

Purpose:

Assess selection of estuarine habitats

Notes:

Effects of sea-level rise on coastal secondary production in Galveston Bay, Texas; Coastal Wetlands Project 1985; Selection of vegetated habitat and density of shrimp in a Galveston Bay, Texas salt marsh: 1982-1983; Jamaica Beach/Salt Marsh study; others

Data Quality

Quality Control Procedures Employed:

Each sample was assigned a unique identification code. Field collected samples were tagged redundantly (e.g. one label inside collection container and a matching label attached to outside of container). The identifier and its associated information (e.g. date, location, habitat) was recorded on field data sheets. Once a sample arrived at the laboratory, the label remained with the sample throughout the various stages of processing. After data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet or similar database manager, the information was printed out and compared against the field data sheets by two biologists. Corrections were made at that time and saved. The electronic data file was also sorted and examined by the Lab Supervisor or other project personnel in a variety of ways to look for outliers, missing data, and other errors.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 284606
Description:

After sample collection, field data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet or database file (DBF) using database manager software. A text file was created to describe these data and associated variables. Entered data were checked against the field sheets by two biologists to minimize entry errors. Samples were processed in the laboratory, sorted, specimens identified and measured, and information was entered into an Excel spreadsheet or DBF file. Files were printed out and compared against original data sheets by two biologists for data entry errors. Corrections were made at this time, the electronic file was saved, and a back-up copy made. Hard copies of the QCd files were printed and stored in the project folder along with the original field and laboratory data sheets. The electronic file was also sorted and examined by the Lab Supervisor or other project personnel in a variety of ways to look for outliers, missing data, and other potential errors. Verified data files were then saved electronically on the Galveston Laboratory server and backed-up as needed.
