Within the Delta proper, a large dike-like causeway built in the late 1920s has severed a number of once open bays from immediate contact with the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. By altering tidal exchange and volume of flow, this hydrological modification may have altered the ecological function and biodiversity of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta as well. To address this question, the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program funded a one year study designed to collect preliminary data assessing causeway impacts on the ecology of the lower Mobile-Tensaw Delta. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0117321 Preview graphic PNG 0117321 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2014-03-21 publication AMMONIA (NH3) ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS CHLOROPHYLL A DISSOLVED OXYGEN FISH CENSUS FISH SPECIES HUMAN ACTIVITY HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE nitrate + nitrite content (concentration) NUTRIENTS SALINITY SEDIMENT - GRAIN SIZE SEDIMENTS SEDIMENTS - TOTAL CARBON Total nitrogen TOTAL PHOSPHORUS turbidity WATER LEVEL WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS conductivity sensor laboratory analysis multi-parameter water quality sensor nephelometer net oxygen sensor pressure sensor sediment sieve temperature sensor trawl visual observation water level recorder instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS benthic biological chemical continuous laboratory analyses physical sediment analysis site samples time series trawl water chemistry theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Dauphin Island Sea Lab dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Dauphin Island Sea Lab dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Mobile Bay National Estuary Program (MBNEP) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Alabama Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico Gulf of Mexico North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
