Data
The EMAP National Coastal Database contains estuarine and coastal data that EMAP and Regional-EMAP have collected since 1990 from thousands of stations along the U.S. coasts. These data include water column data, sediment contaminants and toxicity data, and benthic macroinvertebrate and demersal fish community and contaminant data.
You can look at these data in two different ways:
- Query the Database will query the database and build subsets for downloading.
- View a Map of the Sampling Stations will display stations from selected geographic areas on a map.
- Alternatively, ASCII text files of these data are available on the estuaries data and metadata pages.
Northeast NCA 2000-2006 Summary Database - View and download csv datafiles and metadata files for all NCA data collected in the Northeast region (Maine through Virginia).
EMAP Coastal Species Database (Password Required) - Select an area and get a list of species that have been captured in that area by EMAP, or Select a species and get a list of areas where this species has been found by EMAP.
Information on the EMAP National Coastal Database structure is available:
- Appendix C contains information on the database structure.
- Appendix D contains information on the code tables.
- Several code lists are provided in ASCII format and will be updated periodically:
- The current taxonomic list.
- The current chemical compound list.
- The current Quality Assurance code list.
