Data

The Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring (BICM) program was developed by Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and is implemented as a component of the System Wide Assessment and Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The program uses both historical data and contemporary data collections to assess and monitor changes in the aerial and subaqueous extent of islands...

These datasets are part of an effort associated with the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program to assess Mississippi Barrier Islands. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) restored sections of Cat and Ship Island. Over 142 hectares (350 acres) of sediment were placed on Cat Island during 2017 with the goal of restoring and fortifying the beaches and dunes from westward wave energy...

Ecological models facilitate evaluation of alternative approaches to restore the Greater Everglades ecosystem. However, the provision of useful and accessible models is a challenge because there is often a disconnect between model output and its use by decision makers. Joint Ecosystem Modeling (JEM) meets this challenge by providing ecological model output tailored to management...

Floating aquatic vegetation (FAV) are plants that float freely on or just below the water's surface and with roots that are not attached to a solid substrate but rather float in the water column. Accurate detection of FAV is needed in remotely sensed data products as discrimination between wetland and water classes is hindered in the presence of aquatic vegetation. The spectral...

This release contains single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data derived from tissue and blood samples collected from 25 loggerhead individuals across nine years from the Dry Tortugas. Data are provided in FASTQ format, a text-based data structure supported by bioinformatics tools.

This dataset contains step lengths of individual loggerhead sea turtles tracked during their migration in the Gulf of America from 2008 to 2015. Information contained in the dataset includes platform terminal transmitter (PTT) number (a unique identifier for each turtle), the length of each move, year, location in either neritic or oceanic waters, date, longitude, latitude, difference...

This dataset contains data from a removal study of Osteopilus septentrionalis staged at the Audubon Zoo and Audubon Riverview Park in New Orleans, Louisiana.

This dataset provides annual raster maps of ecosystem carbon stocks and fluxes following restoration within four National Park Service lands the Ackerson Meadow restoration project in Yosemite National Park, Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, Indiana Dunes National Park, and Cape Cod National Seashore. Data were produced using the Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS...

The Louisiana State Legislature established the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. Restoration plans developed under CWPPRA require evaluating the effectiveness of each project in achieving long-term solutions to coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes aerial imagery for the Bayou...

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to...
