Marine Environmental Baseline Report, Commercial Port, Apra Harbor, Guam
This data package was created 2025-12-03 10:25:30 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data are from the University of Guam's Marine Laboratory (17 authors listed) 1977 Technical Report #34 entitled "Marine Environmental Baseline Report Commerical Port, Apra Harbor, Guam" that was submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The report presents the results of a marine environmental baseline study of Commercial Port, Apra Harbor, Guam for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. The purpose of this study was to provide data and general information on the local water current patterns, water chemistry, substratum composition, and the species composition, abundance and distribution of zooplankton, algae, corals, macroinvertebrates and fishes in the Commercial Port area of Apra Harbor.
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:
- WAPA0022: Marine Environmental Baseline Report, Commercial Port, Apra Harbor, 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 1976-11-20 to 1977-01-12. 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:
