This dataset contains raw tier 2 sampling data starting from 2011 for Texas coastal waters related to seagrasses. Parameters measured include chlorophyll a concentration, water depth, dissolved oxygen, light attenuation, pH, salinity, Secchi depth, water temperature, total suspended solids, seagrass canopy height, and seagrass percent cover. Typical species represented within the data include Halodule wrightii, Thalassia testudinum, Syringodium filiforme, Halophila engelmannii, and Ruppia maritima. Sampling takes place at 567 permanent stations in Aransas and Redfish Bays, Corpus Christi Bay, and Upper and Lower Laguna Madre. Latitudes and longitudes for station locations are based on the NAD83 datum. There was limited sampling in 2016. This dataset also includes opportunistic sampling in Little Bay, San Antonio Bay, and Galveston Bay, as well as analytically measured tissue content of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in Halodule wrightii and Thalassia testudinum plant samples collected from Aransas and Redfish Bays, Corpus Christi Bay, and the Laguna Madre along with stable isotope data from those samples. Data are provided in CSV format.

This dataset contains raw sampling data beginning in 1989 for a long-term environmental and seagrass monitoring station in Laguna Madre (“LM-151”). This project served to understand environmental drivers of long-term changes in seagrass condition within the Upper Laguna Madre, Texas. Environmental parameters measured within the water column include water depth, dissolved oxygen concentration, underwater light level, pH, salinity, Secchi depth (turbidity), water temperature, total suspended solids, and dissolved inorganic nitrogen and ammonium. Seagrass biological parameters measured are above/belowground biomass and shoot density. Typical seagrass species represented within the data include Halodule wrightii (shoal grass) and Syringodium filiforme (manatee grass). Sampling was dependent on funding/resource availability and local weather conditions, therefore temporal gaps in data may exist. Data are provided in CSV format.

The conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) and Bathythermograph (XBT) data was collected in Gulf of Mexico from ships GYRE cruises 95G01 & 94P12 and J. W. POWELL cruise 94P12 as part of Texas Institutions Gulf Ecosystem Research Program. The data was collected from October 12, 1994 to February 2, 1995. The originator's CTD and XBT data was submitted on one diskette by Dr. Edward Webb of Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. the study was funded by grant MMS # 14-35-0001-30501.
