Description

The Skidaway River Monitoring Program (SRiMP) was initiated in 1986 and includes time series observations of hydrography, nutrients, auto- and heterotrophic microbial communities, phytoplankton, micro- and mesozooplankton, representative gelatinous zooplankton, and dissolved oxygen in a weekly to monthly resolution.
