Wright WK, Kozlowski A, Patterson J, Okunoye A. 2022. Standard Operating Procedure 2.3.07 Monitoring Coastal Wetland Elevation Data Management and Database Technical Documentation—Version 2.1. Northeast Temperate Network (NETN), the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN), the National Capital Region Network (NCRN), the Southeast Coast Network (SECN), and the South Florida/Caribbean Network (SFCN).
This standard operating procedure (SOP) provides instructions for the development, maintenance, and distribution of monitoring data associated with the protocol for wetland elevation monitoring in the Southeast Coast Network. All wetland elevation monitoring data are stored in the multi-network surface elevation table data management system managed and maintained by the National Park Service (NPS). The data management system is utilized by five NPS Inventory and Monitoring Networks across the Atlantic seaboard: the Northeast Temperate Network (NETN), the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN), the National Capital Region Network (NCRN), the Southeast Coast Network (SECN), and the South Florida/Caribbean Network (SFCN). The data system encompasses data from twenty national park units. It is the responsibility of the network data managers and wetland elevation protocol leads and staff to be thoroughly familiar with the standards and procedures within the protocol and companion SOPs, and ensure this SOP is updated to reflect any substantial changes made to that plan. All proposed changes to this SOP must be routed through the appropriate data managers for approval.
