A report on task 6: graphical data analysis for the 2007 implementation of the Sarasota Tidal Creek Condition Index.

Abstract

Sarasota County and Mote Marine Laboratory have collaborated to develop biological indicators for tidal creeks. To accomplish this project, Mote developed and applied the prototype index to 16 tidal creeks in Sarasota County, Florida. This report addresses Task 6 of this effort. Task 6 provides for data entry, quality assurance for all site characteristics and metrics, plus graphical analysis of intertidal (only), subtidal (only), and intertidal plus subtidal values of characteristics and metrics. Deliverables include an Excel spreadsheet of all data and metadata, plus Word files of all graphs.
