Time series observations: hydrography, nutrients, and microbial, phytoplankton and zooplankton communities from the Skidaway River Estuary on the southeastern Atlantic coast of Georgia from 1986-2011 (SRiMP project)

<p>The Skidaway River Monitoring Program (SRiMP) was initiated in 1986 and includes time series observations of hydrography, nutrients, auto- and heterotrophic microbial communities, phytoplankton, micro- and mesozooplankton, representative gelatinous zooplankton, and dissolved oxygen in a weekly to monthly resolution.</p>
