Long-term water quality data in the Mississippi Sound from 2014-2024
This dataset contains water quality data collected in the Mississippi Sound before (pre) and after (post) barrier island restoration of Cat and Ship Island, Mississippi. The barrier island restoration included sand placement which has the potential to alter water quality conditions within the Mississippi Sound estuary. Therefore, water quality monitoring was conducted at five (observational) stations within, and four (control) stations outside of the barrier island restoration impact area across the Mississippi Sound. These water quality data will be used to inform the Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program (MsCIP) Monitoring and Adaptive Management Plan (MAMP) objectives, including monitoring and analyzing the impact of the barrier island restoration on the water quality of the Mississippi Sound estuary.
