This dataset from the Channel Islands National Park's Kelp Forest Monitoring Program has measurements of the abundance and distribution of rare and clumped organisms not adequately sampled by quadrats. The summary data presented here represents the mean density per square meter. Sampling is conducted annually between the months of May-October, so the Time data in this file is July 1 of each year (a nominal value). The actual measurements were taken at various depths, so the Depth data in this file is the depth of the station's temperature logger, which is a typical depth.

This dataset from the Channel Islands National Park's Kelp Forest Monitoring Program has measurements of the abundance of fish species. The original measurements were taken at various depths, so the Depth data in this file is the depth of the station's temperature logger, which is a typical depth.

This dataset has measurements of the size of selected animal species at selected locations in the Channel Islands National Park. Sampling is conducted annually between the months of May-October, so the Time data in this file is July 1 of each year (a nominal value). The size frequency measurements were taken within 10 meters of the transect line at each site. Depths at the site vary some, but we describe the depth of the site along the transect line where that station's temperature logger is located, a typical depth for the site.

This data set presents the data collected in 2015 as part of the long-term terrestrial kelp forest monitoring program at Channel Islands National Park in collaboration with the Mediterranean Coast Network of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program.

As part of the Northeast Coastal & Barrier Network's Salt Marsh Monitoring program, Network staff continues to sample vegetation and nekton at several park units. This file contains all data collected through the 2019 field season. Data are collected at the following park units: Assateague Island NS, Cape Cod NS, Colonial NHP, Fire Island NS, Gateway NRA, George Washington Birthplace NM, Sagamore Hill NHS.

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) is a sovereign Small Island State in the tropical central North Pacific Ocean. RMI is a nation of more than thirty atolls and islands, most of which are inhabited, dispersed across an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) over 2 million square kilometers. This data release contains raster datasets for vegetation and water monitoring including Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Landscape Water Requirement Satisfaction Index (L-WRSI), and Soil Moisture Index (SMI) for selected locations and precipitation (dekadal (10-day) sum) for the entire RMI from 2017-2022. These data were compiled to support a 2022-2023 U.S. Geological Survey project for developing methods to apply Earth Observation to monitor the health of vegetation in the RMI. The project was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Agency for International Development Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
