Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

The Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Outer Continental Shelf Baseline Environmental Survey, MAFLA 1977-1978

Preview graphic

This dataset includes oceanographic data collected in support of the MAFLA project, including ocean station, bathythermograph (XBT), high-resolution CTD/STD, chemistry, fish/shell-fish surveys, zooplankton, benthic organisms, and marine toxic substances and pollutants data.

In 1974, the U.S. Department of the Interior initiated comprehensive marine environmental surveys of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) off Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida (MAFLA). Data were collected for three years to establish a baseline from which to evaluate effects of oil and gas activities in the MAFLA region.

Publication Dates	publication: 2002-11-19 revision: 2023-12-05 creation: 1974
Data Presentation Form	Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed, especially in columns
Dataset Progress Status	Complete - production of the data has been completed Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility
Data Update Frequency	As needed
Supplemental Information	Note: Preliminary metadata for this dataset was extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all datasets on an ongoing basis.
Purpose	To evaluate effects of oil and gas activities in the MAFLA region.
Use Limitations	accessLevel: public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives.
