The National Park Service (NPS) is hosting a collaboration of researchers assessing effectiveness of MPA boundaries, species movements, and identifying gaps in protection for a wide range of shark, turtle, and reef fish species. Building upon our previous work, we're tagging queen conch to examine time spent in protected areas, migrations to open fishing areas, spawning grounds, and nursery habitats. To determine movement patterns of conch between management zones of the northern shelf of St. Croix (BIRNM no-take marine reserve, St. Croix East End Marine Park zoned-use territorial waters, and open fishing areas). underDevelopment Baumer, Tim J 409-766-3784 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551 tim.baumer@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Doerr, Jennifer 409-766-3705 409-766-3520 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551 jennifer.doerr@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. custodian EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > AQUATIC SCIENCES > FISHERIES theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 Habitat use Migration Movement Queen conch Strombus gigas theme 2014-2018 temporal Buck Island Salt River U.S. Virgin Islands place acoustic tag instrument DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

A text file was created to describe these data and associated variables. Entered data were checked against the field sheets by two biologists to minimize entry errors. Files were printed out and compared against original data sheets by two biologists for data entry errors. Corrections were made at this time, the electronic file was saved, and a back-up copy made. Hard copies of the QCd files were printed and stored in the project folder along with the original field and laboratory data sheets. The electronic file was also sorted and examined by the Lab Supervisor or other project personnel in a variety of ways to look for outliers, missing data, and other potential errors. Verified data files were then saved electronically on the Galveston Laboratory server and backed up as needed.
