At each box core station a conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) cast was conducted. These data include the CTD from the bottom of the cast, sediment grain size analysis, total organic carbon and nitrogen analysis (for the first 3 years only) and macrofaunal organism abundances as retained on a 1 mm mesh sieve.\nFrom 2012 to 2015, additional box core grabs were collected around two of the anchors deployed at PMEC-NETS to assess potential changes to sediment conditions and/or organism abundances.\nFrom 2013 to 2015, box core samples also were collected in and around the South Energy Test Site (PMEC-SETS). The CTD, grain size, and organism abundances are included.\nAdditionally from 2010 to 2015 beam trawls were conducted at 9 stations (a subset of the box core stations) around PMEC-NETS and CTD casts were conducted before the start of each trawl. Again the CTD data from the bottom of the cast are included. Organism data are fish densities based on the estimated number of meters covered by the trawl. No trawls were conducted at PMEC-SETS.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/107/PMECBoxCoresEnv%20%283%29.csv", "description": "Physical data (e.g. CTD, depth, sediment grain size, lat lon) for the box cores conducted 2010 to 2015 at PMEC-NETS and PMEC-SETS.", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/csv", "title": "PMEC Box Cores Physical Data.csv"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/107/PMECBoxCoresMacrofauna.xls", "description": "Macrofauna abundances (per 0.1m2) in box cores collected from PMEC-NETS and PMEC-SETS 2010 to 2015", "format": "xls", "mediaType": "application/vnd.ms-excel", "title": "PMEC Box Cores Macrofauna.xls"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/107/PMECTrawlsEnv%20%283%29.csv", "description": "Physical data (CTD, depth, distance, lat lon) for the trawls conducted 2010 to 2015 at PMEC-NETS", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/csv", "title": "PMEC Trawls Physical Data.csv"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/files/107/PMECTrawlsFishDensities.xlsx", "description": "Fish densities for the trawls conducted 2010 to 2015 at PMEC-NETS.", "format": "xlsx", "mediaType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", "title": "PMEC Trawls Fish Densities.xlsx"}], "identifier": "https://data.openei.org/submissions/7810", "issued": "2015-08-26T06:00:00Z", "keyword": ["CTD", "Hydrokinetic", "MHK", "Marine", "NETS", "Oregon", "PMEC", "PMEC-NETS", "PMEC-SETS", "PacWave", "SETS", "anchors", "benthic", "box core", "carbon", "conductivity", "density", "depth", "energy", "fish", "groundfish", "infauna", "macrofauna", "nitrogen", "organism", "pH", "physical", "power", "salinity", "sediment", "sediment grain size", "temperature", "total organic", "trawl"], "landingPage": "https://mhkdr.openei.org/submissions/107", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "modified": "2025-07-29T19:00:44Z", "programCode": ["019:009"], "projectLead": "Jim Ahlgrimm", "projectNumber": "GO18179", "projectTitle": "Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center ", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Oregon State University"}, "spatial": "{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-124.2532,44.4882],[-124.09,44.4882],[-124.09,44.72933333],[-124.2532,44.72933333],[-124.2532,44.4882]]]}", "title": "Pacific Marine Energy Center benthic physical conditions, macrofauna, and groundfish abundances"}
