The objective was to examine the relationship between marsh edge and nekton use in a planted Spartina marsh. Overall, the study indicates that habitat value of created salt marshes can be enhanced by incorporating tidal creeks into the marsh design. Identify and describe the relationship between fishery productivity and the coastal environment. completed Baumer, Tim J 409-766-3784 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551 tim.baumer@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Ditty, James 409-766-3782 409-766-3508 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551-5997 Jim.Ditty@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Penaeus aztecus Penaeus duorarum Penaeus setiferus theme World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 Farfantepenaeus aztecus Farfantepenaeus duorarum Litopenaeus setiferus brown shrimp crabs dredge disposal estuarine dependent fish invertebrates nekton nursery pink shrimp salt marsh shrimp submerged aquatic vegetation white shrimp theme 1987-1988 temporal Alligator Point Chocolate Bay Galveston Bay estuary Gulf of Mexico Halls Lake Texas place 1.8 m drop trap sampler 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. Samples were processed in the laboratory, sorted, specimens identified and measured, and information was entered into an Excel spreadsheet or DBF file. 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.
