Title: Intertidal organism and habitat data from Prince William Sound from the HUMDINGER as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 1975-07-23 to 1976-06-26 (NCEI Accession 8200117)
Abstract: Intertidal organism and habitat data were collected in the Prince William Sound from the HUMDINGER from 23 July 1975 to 26 June 1976. Data were collected by Dames and Moore INC. as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to 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.
