This data set is comprised of eight files (comma-separated values) from various data streams related to a monitoring project undertaken in the Port of Miami and a reference reef site off the coast of Key Biscayne, FL from December 2018 through July 2020. The data types involved are both measured and calculated, and include benthic data from analysis of images captured at the study sites, as well as various environmental data types from both deployed instrumentation and collected seawater samples at the study sites. The data types include: benthic taxa, depth, temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, partial pressure of CO2, aragonite saturation state, oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, total ammonia, ammonium, orthosilicic acid, and photosynthetically active radiation. Source imagery is not included as part of this archival package.
