Summary
Abstract:
Water quality monitoring is conducted at 26 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR)
at four locations within or adjacent to the reserve. The following parameters are collected at
least every 30 minutes: water temperature, specific conductivity, salinity, percent saturation,
dissolved oxygen concentration, water depth, pH and turbidity. All water quality data loggers
will be deployed from a known depth from the bottom at each site.
Purpose:
Research objectives The East Bay station collects water quality data associated with runoff from the Tates Hell Swamp area. This area was ditched, diked, and altered back in the late 1960's and early 1970's by timber companies. It shortened the drainage period and allowed increased runoff with a concommittant increase in pH which had a drastic affect ... on the biological communities in East
Bay. Because of this some plugs were put in to slow drainage, but little restoration work was
done. A large section, approximately 36,000 acres, was purchased in 1994 by the Northwest
Florida Water Management District. An EPA grant will allow them to begin restoration of the site
in 1995 to reduce non-point source runoff. Positioning the dataloggers at the surface and bottom
in East Bay will allow the Reserve to monitor changes in water quality during this restoration
effort.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Associated researchers and projects APA NERR has been using
Hydrolab Datasonde 3's to monitor water quality at three stations in Apalachicola Bay since May
of 1992. One of these stations was moved from the mid-bay area near the Intracoastal Waterway to
the East Bay bottom site in January of 1993. The other two are located on two of the largest
commercially important oyster bars in the bay. These stations, like East Bay, are intended to be
long-term. Other associated researchers and projects which have utilized this water quality data
are as follows: Northwest Florida Water Management District Tate's Hell Restoration Project

SPATIAL DATA ORGANIZATION INFORMATION:
Indirect Spatial Reference: Site location and character The Apalachicola National
Estuarine Research Reserve is located in the northwestern part of Florida, generally called the
panhandle. It is located adjacent to the City of Apalachicola, and encompasses most of the
Apalachicola Bay system, including 20 miles of the lower Apalachicola River. Passes, both
natural and manmade, connect Apalachicola Bay to the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. East Bay is
separated from Apalachicola Bay by two bridges and a causeway and is located to the north of the
bay proper. The sampling site is located in the upper reaches of East Bay and is influenced by
local runoff from Tates Hell, the East Bay marshes, and distributary flow, some of which comes
from the Apalachicola River via the East River. The piling location is latitude 29(47.15' N and
longitude 84(52.52' W. Normal tidal range is approximately 0.5 meters. Salinity ranges from 0 to
30 ppt but is generally in the low range due to the freshwater input from the Tate's Hell
drainage. The freshwater input is very tanic and usually dark colored. Flows vary with local
rainfall and are not quantified due to the diverse sources of the runoff. Depth at mean high
water is 2.2 meters. The bottom type is soft sediment, primarily silt and clay, with no
vegetation present.

verification YSI data are downloaded directly from the YSI 6000 into the PC6000 software,
plotted, and initially analyzed for major anomalies and missing data. Hydrolab data are
downloaded from the Hydrolab Datasonde 3 to PCPLUS software. Both YSI and Hydrolab raw data
files are then downloaded as a comma delimited file (.cdf) and imported into Microsoft Excel as
a comma-space delimited file (.csv). These raw data files are then organized into standardized
monthly data sets using the import.xls macros. The import.xls macros generate a monthly
spreadsheet, import the raw data, fill all empty cells with periods, change feet to meters for
depth readings if necessary, and save the monthly files as either a .csv or .xls file. Once in
monthly format, these files are then run through the cdmomac(ro)3.xls macros which identify
outliers, insure correct number of data points for each Date/Hour count, and format the columns
in the correct order and size. The monthly files are then carefully edited by staff for data
anomalies which are identified in Section 11 (Data Anomalies) of this document. Any data that
are deleted by staff are replaced with periods and identified in Section 12 (Missing Data) of
this document. Monthly edited files are then sent as .xls files, along with an updated metadata
form, to CDMO. As of this update, files and metadata will be sent by FTP to the CDMO in text
format as per the CDMO operations manual, ver. 3.0. PROCESS DATE: 20060208
Access Constraints
Data collected in conjunction with the National Estuarine Research Reserve
System's (NERRS) System-wide Monitoring Program (SWMP) is considered public information. Please
see site for further information: http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/aboutdata.htm
LIABILITY: Distribution The Centralized Data Management Office re-processed all SWMP ... water data
collected from 1995-2002 to include an identifying station code (three letter reserve code, two
letter sampling site code and data type code), a four digit year date stamp (mm/dd/yyyy) and a
corrected time column (hh:mm). With the new format, the use of periods to denote deleted or
missing data has been abandoned. Hence, all periods contained in the SWMP water data collected
prior 2003 were removed and left blank.
