Oceanic Environmental data were collected from the ALAMINOS and other platforms from 01 February 1971 to 01 December 1971. Data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean by Texas A&M University (TAMU) and other institutions as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (IDOE). Data is predominantly based on analysis of zooplankton samples. Data include concentrations of metals in fish, sea water, plankton, and sediments. Data was submitted to the National Science Foundation as a report titled 'A Study Program to Identify Problems Related to Oceanic Environmental Quality -- Gulf of Mexico' on 10 January 1972. Analog copies of report are available by contacting NODC user services.
