This reference contains links to important documentation for the multi-region multi-network Surface Elevation Table Monitoring Database System. 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 these documents.
