Methods & Sampling

Zooplankton and detritus were collected from 15 June through 15 July about 125 m offshore of the surf zone at Carmel River State Beach. Offshore samples were collected from a kayak in the morning hours before the increase in winds associated with the sea breeze. Offshore samples consisted of vertical plankton tows using a 200 um mesh 0.25 m^{^2} net that was equipped with a flow meter to determine the volume of water filtered. Three replicate samples were collected daily by hauling the net from near the bottom to the surface. The net filtered an average of 2 m^³per tow. Samples were preserved with buffered formalin. Organisms were identified and enumerated using dissecting microscopes.

Data Processing Description

Three samples were collected each day. Counts from the microscopic analysis of the samples were converted to number per m^3 and the average and 95% confidence interval for each daily set of samples were calculated. Note that blanks in the data set represent missing data values (BCO-DMO has changed blanks to 'nd'.)

BCO-DMO Processing:
- Re-formatted date, and added separate columns for month, day, year, and year-day.
- Added column containing site name.
- Added lat and lon (from metadata form).
- Modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions.
- Replaced blanks (missing data) with 'nd' to indicate 'no data'.
