* » Abstract |
This project will improve and expand an observing network and website that provides accurate real-time weather and water quality data to Alabama environmental managers and the public. |
* Purpose |
Effective management of coastal estuaries requires real-time and historical knowledge of water quality such as salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and water clarity. Resource managers and stakeholders can use web-based tools that integrate this water quality data to inform decision-making in coastal waters such as when to close oyster harvesting areas due to poor water quality. Unfortunately, many Gulf of Mexico coastal regions lack web-based tools that effectively integrate available real-time and historical water quality data. However, decision-makers in Alabama have access to the Alabama Real-time Coastal Observing System (ARCOS) which provides high-quality, system wide, continuous real-time water and weather observations in a user-friendly web-based portal (https://arcos.disl.org/). This project will lead to improvements to ARCOS and its web portal, https://arcos.disl.org/, which receives over 7000 visitors per month who use its data to inform coastal decision-making including living resource management and recreational activities. This project will expand www.mymobilebay.com to include water clarity and offshore water quality data, improving the quality and quantity of information available to support coastal management, fisheries, and recreational use in Mobile Bay. This work will also support the use of ARCOS by recreational and commercial users who rely on the data it provides for safe and efficient boating, fishing, and shipping. This project is led by the University of South Alabama, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, in partnership with Mississippi State University. This project is funded by the NOAA RESTORE Science Program under award NA17NOS4510101 to the University of South Alabama. |

Lineage
» Lineage Statement |
The work conducted will extend the spatial and temporal coverage for ARCOS and add more measures of water quality. This will enhance the usefulness of ARCOS for resource managers by providing them with additional information critical to making decisions about living coastal and marine resources in coastal Alabama. Specifically, the improvements to the ARCOS network will include upgrading four older observing stations to enhance reliability and provide real-time water clarity data, and adding offshore real-time measurements of salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen by upgrading an existing data collection site. |
