Abstract

Sampled marshes and ponds along two transects within the intermediate and brackish marsh zones of Breton Sound, Louisiana, from May 7-11, 2001. Sampling followed several planned releases of freshwater from the Caernarvon diversion structure during the winter of 2000 and spring of 2001 as part of a larger study to examine the ecological effect of pulsed freshwater releases on the ecosystem.

Title:	Caernarvon 2001
Short Name:	Caernarvon 2001
Status:	Completed
Abstract:	Sampled marshes and ponds along two transects within the intermediate and brackish marsh zones of Breton Sound, Louisiana, from May 7-11, 2001. Sampling followed several planned releases of freshwater from the Caernarvon diversion structure during the winter of 2000 and spring of 2001 as part of a larger study to examine the ecological effect of pulsed freshwater releases on the ecosystem.
Purpose:	The purpose of this study was to document springtime habitat conditions and distributional patterns of brown shrimp and other species of nekton in the vicinity of the Caernarvon Diversion Structure.
Notes:	Ecological effects of pulsed freshwater releases on a marsh ecosystem in Louisiana. Caernarvon 2001 study

Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Field data were entered into spreadsheets and checked against the raw data sheet to avoid entry errors

Quality Control Procedures Employed:

Each sample was assigned a unique identification code. Field collected samples were tagged redundantly (e.g. one label inside of the collection vessel and a matching label attached to the outside of the vessel). 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 sample processing. After data were entered into an Excel spreadsheet or similar database file, the information was printed out and compared against the field data sheets by two biologists. Corrections were made at this time and saved. 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

Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?:	No
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management:	0
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?:	Yes
Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?:	No

Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination:	365
Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location:	NCEI-MD
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving:	365
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?:	The data resides on a secure government network requiring multi-factor authentication for network access.

Process Step 1

CC ID: 284912

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.
