SOP 13 – Revising the Protocol; A Protocol for Monitoring Estuarine Nutrient Enrichment in Coastal Parks of the National Park Service Northeast Region
Kopp BS and Neckles HA. 2009. SOP 13 – Revising the Protocol; A Protocol for Monitoring Estuarine Nutrient Enrichment in Coastal Parks of the National Park Service Northeast Region. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This is an SOP of "A Protocol for Monitoring Estuarine Nutrient Enrichment in Coastal Parks of the National Park Service Northeast Region" (https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Profile/2218712). Due to the long-term nature of the NCBN monitoring program, revisions to the Protocol Narrative and to individual Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be necessary from time to time (O’Ney, 2005). Careful documentation of changes to the Narrative and its related SOPs, along with a library of previous versions, are essential for maintaining consistency in the collection, summary, analysis, and reporting of data. The Revision History Logs found at the beginning of the narrative and each SOP list all edits to that section since the original publication date. Information entered in these logs should be complete and concise. The logs track the previous version date and number, date of revision and new version number, author(s) of revision, location of changes within the document, description of change, and the reason the change was made. Author information must include full name, title, and affiliation.
