- Description:

- Abstract:
-
These data represent the most recent eight (8) days of sampling location points for the phytoplankton that causes red tide, Karenia brevis. These data are exported daily at 4:45 PM Eastern Time from the HAB Database, which provides information on the presence and absence of Karenia brevis.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose for creating this HAB dataset was to spatially display information related to the current status of the blooming phytoplankton Karenia brevis in Florida.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
While every practical step has been taken to provide accurate data, the need for rapid distribution precludes extensive review. Furthermore, the majority of our phytoplankton abundance data have been collected in response to blooms. Environmental data has been provided by varied partners and projects over time and has not undergone extensive review. Sampling efforts and taxa targeted have also varied with funding and projects. Please keep this in mind for data analysis. Please reference the FWC-FWRI HAB Monitoring Database as the source of this data. If you have any questions or should you wish to share this data further, please contact HABData@myfwc.com to facilitate that process.
F2384 These data are being used in the formation of the Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Historical Database produced by Florida Marine Research Institute.--
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.--

-
None. These data are public information. Data from this database may be accessed by contacting the point of contact. Statewide historical red tide sampling data will be available to the public in the form of an Access database, CD ROM and Web site. All data must be verified by Principal Investigator or Group Database Analyst prior to release. It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from FWC and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. FWC makes no claims as to the data's suitability for other purposes.

If any data are modified or adjusted, please share the edited information with FWC. Users should be aware that comparison with other data sets for the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in mapping conventions, data collection, and computer processes over time.

- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Attribute data is quality controlled by a "proofing" process. A proofing screen is built into the database and after a record is entered it is reviewed for accuracy when a proofing person looks over the datasheet and verifies the data entry. The record is then saved in the tables as proofed and is not changeable in the main data entry screen. Outliers generated from incorrect latitude or longitude values are discarded.

- Completeness_Report:
-
Attributes from datasheets that are not included in the database are presence of dead fish, tide information, cloud cover, moon phase, wind direction and speed, flocculance, water and weather conditions, count analyst, countanalysis date, collecting person, current information, wave height, etc. These datasheets varied greatly in specificityof information from the minimum required parameters to detailed cruise and research studies. Due to this diversity,it was decided to incorporate as many entry fields as possible for related information from the datasheet. Selectionof the attributes that are included in the database were based on frequency of the measurement on datasheets,The minimum requirements for generating a record include a K. brevis count (in cells per liter), the date when thewater sample was collected, and a description of where the water sample was taken. Collecting agency andsampling depth are also required to generate a record, but have default values of """"unknown"""" and 0.5 m,respectively.After July 1, 1999 SEAS agency references became DOACS agency references.References to K. brevis being present are represented by a cell count of 1 cell per liter. This was done to removethem from a true negative count analysis.

- Process_Description:
-
In order to geographically represent the sampling results, the HAB database was queried for HAB_ID, sample date, latitude, longitude, sample depth in meters, and Karenia brevis concentration range. The query results are exported from the HAB database on a daily basis at 4:45 PM Eastern Time to the GIS Database as a point feature class. The data export date is recorded in the “Export_Date” field. Concentration range values are classified based on categories provided in the Training Manual for the Harmful Algal Bloom Database.
