Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Biofouling specimens were collected and identified from Japanese tsunami marine debris (JTMD) from 2012-2014 at coastal sites in Hawaii and the western USA from California to Alaska.

Algal diversity identification was courtesy of Gayle Hansen (Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State University).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:

- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- renamed parameters to BCO-DMO standard
- changed blanks to zeros
- changed * to lt_1 (less than 1%)
- replaced blanks with underscores
