Subject: Marine Life Data Workshop for August 12th at 1pm ET (Net tow plankton/HABs data standardization to Darwin Core)

Hi MBON DMAC'ers!

Our next "data session" will be held on August 12th from 1pm ET - 3pm ET. The topic will be "Net tow plankton/HABs data to DarwinCore" and will be hosted by Ian Brunjes (Product Developer, SCCOOS ) and Clarissa Anderson (Director, SCCOOS). Below is an overview of the session and the connection information.

The meeting is open to others who might have an interest as well.

Summary:

This session will walk through the process of reformatting the Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Program (HABMAP) level 1 site-specific datasets hosted on the SCCOOS ERDDAP server (https://erddap.sccoos.org/erddap/tabledap/index.html?page=1) into Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) format (https://ipt-obis.gbif.us/resource?r=calhabmap).

The Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Alert Program (HABMAP https://calhabmap.org/) was formed in 2008 and provides updates on current algal blooms and facilitates information exchange among scientists, federal and state managers, and the general public in California. A major component of this program is regional HAB monitoring with support from the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) and the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). Water samples and net tows are collected once per week at piers to monitor for HAB species, the neurotoxin domoic acid, and water quality data including temperature, chlorophyll-a, and nutrients.
