NOAA RESTORE Science Program: Linking Community and Food-web Approaches to Restoration: On-marsh nekton community in restored vs. natural Louisiana marshes near the West Pointe A La Hache siphon, 2018-05-17 to 2019-05-20 (NCEI Accession 0304326)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-06-26T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset contains abundance, mass, length, sex and species composition of the on-marsh nekton community in restored (LHA, LHB) and natural (LHC, WPH1, WPH2, PS7) marshes at various distances from a freshwater diversion in the vicinity of West Pointe a la Hache, Lake Hermitage, and Port Sulphur, Louisiana in May 2018 and May 2019. Minnow traps (wire mesh traps) were deployed at three sub-habitat locations (edge, creeks, ponds) at each site. Taxonomic identification of individuals was determined to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Salinity and temperature data for each sample location are also included in this dataset. Data are in spreadsheet format.
