Raikow D and Kozar K. 2023. Quality assurance plan for water quality monitoring in the Pacific Island Network. Natural Resource Report. NPS/PACN/NRR—2023/2576. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado. https://doi.org/10.36967/2300662
In accordance with guidelines set forth by the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Division, a quality-assurance plan has been created for use by the Pacific Island Network in the implementation of water quality monitoring protocols, including the marine water quality protocol (Raikow et al. 2023) and future water quality protocols that will address streams and standing waters. This quality-assurance plan documents the standards, policies, and procedures used by the Pacific Island Network for activities specifically related to the collection, processing, storage, analysis, and publication of monitoring data. The policies and procedures documented in this quality assurance plan complement quality assurance efforts for other components of the overall protocol workflow, including initial creation of the protocol as described in the protocol narrative and quality assurance plans for other monitoring activities conducted by the Pacific Island Network.
