Expand/Collapse All

Description

A major objective of the JTMD project was to characterize the biodiversity of the arriving and landed JTMD fauna and flora. This dataset includes species and counts of amphipods collected from the debris.

Access to this data is temporarily RESTRICTED. Please contact the PI's for further information.

Methods & Sampling

Amphipod specimens were collected from Japanese tsunami marine debris (JTMD) from 2012-2014 at coastal sites in Washington, Oregon and Hawaii.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:

- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- replaced spaces with underscores
- changed blank cells to nd
- reformatted columns to rows for species names and counts
