This data package was created 2026-02-10 10:38:31 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data contained in the Gulf Coast Network NPSTORET back-end file (GULN_NPSTORET_BE_20260209.ACCDB) were filtered to include: Organization: - GULN: Gulf Coast Network Station: - Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results Activity Start Date (<=12/31/2025) Value Status: - Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final Note: BITH_HAR project biological data were merged into the Gulf Coast Network's NPSTORET back-end from a static NPSTORET back-end (GULN_HARREL_BIO_TAXA_DATA_ONLY_UPDATED_NPSTORETZIP_2025_03_19.ZIP) just prior to creating this Data Package. The chemical and physical BITH_HAR data were already in the Gulf Coast Network's NPSTORET back-end. The data package is organized into six data tables: - Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts - Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations - Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping - HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations data table - Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results - Taxon.csv - enumerates the domain of taxa available in NPSTORET to identify the organism sampled for Results Period of record for filtered data is 1976-05-05 to 2025-12-22. This data package is a snapshot in time of multiple National Park Service projects. The most current data for these projects, which may be more or less extensive than that in this data package, can be found on the Water Quality Portal at: https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=BITH_HAR&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=BITH_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=GUIS_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=JELA_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=NATR_L1&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=NATR_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=PAAL_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=PAIS_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=SAAN_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET https://www.waterqualitydata.us/data/Result/search?project=VICK_WQ&mimeType=csv&zip=yes&dataProfile=biological&providers=STORET
