Temperature profile and density profiles were collected using CTD from NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN, NOAA Ship RONALD H. BROWN, and SIR WILFRED LAURIER in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, the Bering Sea, and the Gulf of Alaska from 29 January 2001 to 15 October 2001. Data were submitted by Dr. Phyllis J. Stabeno of the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) with support from the Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) project.

The Pearl Harbor Biodiversity Project was funded by the Department of Defense Legacy Program, through the U. S. Navy. The project was performed in two phases. The purpose of the project was to document the history, cause, and extent of non-native species introductions in the freshwater streams and estuarine areas of Pearl Harbor.

Water characteristics of Yaquina Bay and Hatfield Marine Science Center's in-building seawater system, measured every six minutes since 1988. Tide height data is collected at the HMSC/OSU boat dock. Water temperature and salinity data is collected at the HMSC/OSU pumphouse dock.

Current, physical, and other data were collected from current profilers and moored CTD's in the Bering Sea from 14 September 1998 to 13 September 1999. Data were collected by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) as part of the St. Lawrence Island Polynya Dense Water Experiment (SLIP). Current profiler parameters include pressure (dbar), temperature (degrees C), salinity (PSU), U-velocity (cm/s), and V-velocity (cm/s). CTD parameters include temperature, salinity, and pressure.

The Minerals Management Service (MMS), previously Bureau of Land Management, has funded fall bowhead whale aerial surveys in this area each year since 1978, using a repeatable protocol from 1982 to the present. Bowhead monitoring by MMS Environmental Studies Section, Alaska Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region, normally overlaps the September-October "open-water" season when offshore drilling and geophysical exploration are feasible and when the fall subsistence hunt for bowhead whales takes place near Kaktovik, Nuiqsut, and Barrow, Alaska.

Physical, nutrients, and plankton data were collected using plankton net and bottle casts in the South Pacific Ocean from 01 August 1961 to 09 September 1965. Data were submitted by the Instituto Del Mar Del Peru; Callao. Plankton data include both zooplankton and phytoplankton.

A harbor expansion was planned in the early 1990s for Kawaihae, Hawaii on the northwest shore of the Big Island. To offset the habitat loss, select corals were transplanted. This study looked at the effects of sedimentation on the transplanted and non-transplanted corals of this high wave region. Eight experimental transplant station were set up, each with four sediment traps.

Salinity and water temperature data were collected using conductivity sensor and temperature probe in the Coastal Waters of Washington/Oregon from March 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001. Data were submitted by the Oregon State University (OSU).
