Title: Intertidal organism and habitat data from the Gulf of Alaska as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 1976-05-13 to 1976-08-24 (NCEI Accession 7700029)
Abstract: Intertidal organism and habitat data were collected from the Gulf of Alaska as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were collected by the Alaska State Department of Fish and Game from 13 May 1976 to 24 August 1976. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F030 Intertidal Organism and Habitat format. An analog file for this accession is available.

The F030 format is used for data from field sampling of marine organisms in intertidal or subtidal habitats. The data are collected to provide information about species abundance and distribution. Data from each observation may include: cruise and station information such as vessel name, senior scientist, position, date, and time; environmental conditions such as surface temperature and salinity, wind speed and direction, and sea state; sediment and habitat descriptors; and species identification and organism counts and measurements. Data may be reported for either individual or composite samples. A text record is available for reporting comments.

Supplementary information: Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
