Assessment of the Shoalwater Environments in the Vicinity of the Proposed OTEC Development at Cabras Island, Guam
This data package was created 2025-12-03 09:56:56 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data are from the University of Guam's Marine Laboratory 1982 Technical Report #79 entitled "Assessment of the Shoalwater Environments in the Vicinity of the Proposed OTEC Development at Cabras Island, Guam" edited by Richard H. Randall and Lucius G. Eldredge with five participating authors. The report was commissioned by the Guam Energy Office to provide a detailed analysis of the environmental impact of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) development on the seaward side of Cabras Island and Luminao Barrier Reef.
Data contained in WAPA_NPSTORET_BE.ACCDB (NPSTORET back-end file) were filtered to include:
Organization:
- WAPA: War in the Pacific National Historical Park
Project:
- WAPA0020: Assessment of the Shoalwater Environments in the Vicinity of the Proposed OTEC Development at Cabras Island, Guam
Station:
- Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results
Value Status:
- Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final
The data package is organized into six data tables:
- Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts
- Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations
- Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping
- HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations data table
- Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results
- Taxon.csv - enumerates the domain of taxa available in NPSTORET to identify the organism sampled for Results
Period of record for filtered data is 1980-07-24 to 1981-06-01. This data package is a snapshot in time of one National Park Service project. The most current data for this project, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at:
