Data Release Reports (DRR) are created by the National Park Service and provide detailed descriptions of valuable research datasets in a human-readable format, including the methods used to collect the data and technical analyses supporting the quality of the measurements. DRRs focus on helping others reuse data rather than presenting results, testing hypotheses, or presenting new interpretations and in-depth analyses. Pilot herpetological surveys were conducted in Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Cape Lookout National Seashore, Canaveral National Seashore, Congaree National Park, Cumberland Island National Seashore, Fort Frederica National Monument, Fort Matanzas National Monument, Fort Sumter National Historical Park, Horseshoe Bend National Military Park, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Moores Creek National Battlefield, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve from 2009-2010 as part of a monitoring protocol for the Southeast Coast Network (SECN) of the National Park Service. After network QA/QC, the data were processed by the Inventory and Monitoring Division (IMD) to comply with Executive Order 13642 (Making Open and Machine Readable the New Default for Government Information). Two data cleaning scripts were produced, resulting in two datasets: ARD_Monitoring_Survey_2009-2010 and VES_Monitoring_Survey_2009-2010. The scripts were used to format the data for clarity and consistency, and to generate cleaned CSV files for the associated data package. This DRR describes the data package for a pilot monitoring protocol of herpetological surveys conducted in thirteen parks from 2009-2010, including how and where to access the data, collection methods, processing steps, data quality evaluation, and usage notes. The Data Package this DRR refers to is: Hobbs A, Byrne M, Smrekar B, Moore M, Harris C, Blankley B, Elston L, Bazemore P. 2024.
