Count Component Title Abstract
1 Baseline Data Collection Experimental Monitoring Program (MESC-COE Gaillard Island 1977-1982): Hydrography, Sediments, and Benthic Fauna (NCEI Accession 0117688) Data from a set of studies that ran from 1977-1978, and 1980-1982, around the site of Gaillard Island, Mobile Bay, Alabama, before, during, and after its construction (1979-1981). Extant data from the MESC Data Management System include sediment particle size distribution (001), identification and enumeration of benthic fauna (002), discrete hydrography and turbidity (003) during and after island construction, and discrete hydrography and turbidity before island construction (004).
