The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Hawaii Coastal Zone Data Bank 1977 microfiche collection (NCEI Accession 0000033) |
| Abstract: | The Coastal Zone of the State of Hawaii is a valuable resource which is being stressed by the activities of man. Concern for this resource has resulted in numerous surveys designed to obtain basic physiochemical & biological data for specific coastal areas. These surveys vary widely in sophistication, thoroughness & the ultimate use made of the data collected. Since perspective in both time & geographic location is essential to efficient resource management, it seemed highly valuable to organize this large body of information so that it could be easily retrieved, combined with new data, analyzed in ways not employed by the original investigators, or compared with data from different locations but subject to the same types & intensities of human perturbation. Thus, the Hawaii Coastal Zone Data Bank (HCZDB) was established to collect environmental data obtained in past, present & future surveys, & to store it in a standardized format for later retrieval & analysis. The HCZDB grew out of the Seagrant study of Kaneohe Bay starting in 1968 (Atlast of Kaneohe Bay, UNIHI-Seagrant TR-72-01) & the subsequent Army Corps of Engineers study (Waikiki Beach Erosion Project: Marine Environmental Study, HIG-73-12). There was an obvious need to store verified field data from these studies and from other surveys in the coastal zone so that they would be available for future comparison & analysis. Since this type of data is not suitable for publication in scientific journals, & since ease of retrieval was equally as important as storage, a system using the University of Hawaii's computer (IBM 370, Model 158) was established in 1972 as the HCZDB. A special account was set up with the Research Corporation of the University of Hawaii (RCUH) & users of the HCZDB are charged by RCUH for computer services plus a small overhead charge (5%). In addition to various individuals on the University campus, current HCZDB users include: The Navy (Marine Environmental Management Office) and the Hawaiian Electric Company. The Navy's use of the HCZDB has expanded the system to include survey data from areas other than Hawaii, including Canton Island, Fanning Island, Enewetak, Puget Sound, & the Southern California Bight. The HCZDB presently maintains about 1100 datasets on some 350,000 records, a system of storage, retrieval and analysis computer programs and texonomic list containing 9000 species entries. West Coast species listings are being continuously increased; at present they account for about 2000 of these entries. This dataset is a physical collection of microfiche filmed circa 1977 for the Hawaii Coastal Zone Data Bank. The microfiche has been scanned to PDF as part of a data rescue project. |
