Coastal Observations, Monitoring, and Assessment Resource Inventory (COMARI) Framework: An Expansion of the RESTORE Council Monitoring and Assessment Program Inventory - Incorporating Living Marine Resources Monitoring Programs for the Gulf of America, 2022-09-01 to 2024-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0315342)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 05:25 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 10, 2026 at 12:00 AM
The Coastal Observations, Monitoring, and Assessment Resource Inventory (COMARI) Framework was designed to expand the utility of the inventory developed for the RESTORE Council Monitoring and Assessment Program (CMAP) and allow for the inclusion of living marine resource monitoring programs. Included in this release are an updated inventory spreadsheet containing programmatic metadata related to programs monitoring water quality, habitat, mapping, and living marine resources across the Gulf of America (formerly Gulf of Mexico) and developed using the COMARI Framework. A geodatabase containing two shapefiles (1 polygon shapefile and 1 point shapefile) representing the footprints and site locations of monitoring programs contained in the monitoring program inventory. Two datasets are provided and distributed as one compiled package.
