Intertidal organism and other data from the NOAA Ship SURVEYOR and other platforms as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 20 April 1975 to 11 June 1975 (NODC Accession 7601861)

Intertidal organism and other data were collected from the NOAA Ship
SURVEYOR and other platforms as part of the Outer Continental Shelf
Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were collected by the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) from 20 April 1975 to 11 June
1975. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F30 Inter-tidal
Organisms and Habitats format. Full format descriptions are available
from the NODC homepage at www.nodc.noaa.gov/. An analog file for this
accession is available from NODC user services.

The F30 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.
