| Title: | Documentation for the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Beach Watch Program archived at NODC(NODC Accession 0069124) |
| Abstract: | The NOAA Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS) Beach Watch Program, administered by the Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association, is a long-term monitoring program operating within the GFNMS and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS). An objective of the program is to develop baseline information on the organisms inhabiting the Sanctuaries and on the physical characteristics of the Sanctuaries. To achieve this objective, photographic slides of animals (both alive and dead) and beach profiles have been taken during surveys of fifty-five beaches every two to four weeks since 1993. As part of the NOAA Climate Database Modernization Program funded project entitled "California Coastal Marine Ecosystem Surveys - Slide Imaging and Archiving (task order L-24)," a contractor scanned 35mm color slides. This accession contains supporting documentation for the scanned slides submitted for the Beach Watch Program. |
