Dataset for: Functioning of coastal river-​dominated ecosystems and implications for oil spill response: From observations to mechanisms and models

As part of an interdisciplinary manuscript, we have compiled data on zooplankton, marine snow distribution (for particles > 1 mm in size), particulate organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, biogenic silica, primary productivity, ocean currents, CTD on the middle corridor during Fall (October 30, 2015), Spring (April 4, 2016), and Summer (July 25, 2016) seasons. We also performed a literature review to compile information about oil extraction activities near river-dominated ecosystems found throughout the world.
