Dataset: RTK GPS survey of soil surface elevation data for impounded and natural regeneration mangroves in Sanibel, Florida (USA)

This dataset contains RTK GPS soil surface elevation measurements (referenced to NAVD88 using Geoid 18 model with minimum horizontal and vertical precision at 0.01 and 0.03 meters, respectively) for impounded and natural regeneration mangroves in Sanibel, FL (USA). This data was collected 23-26 September 2025 for a diagnostic assessment to inform a restoration plan using tidal reconnection and use of dredged sediments to raise soil surface elevation.
