Submerged Aquatic Vegetation data for the Deepwater Horizon Response and Assessment in the Gulf of Mexico, dating from 2010-05-03 to 2011-10-25

These data are for the rooted vascular plants such as seagrasses and freshwater/brackish species that grow in the intertidal and subtidal zones. It includes discrete samples, field observations, field photographs and related files originating from the Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Technical Working Group (TWG).

The data were compiled by the NOAA Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) and Trustees in the Data Integration, Visualization, Exploration, and Reporting (DIVER) data warehouse prior to being archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The collection of files include environmental data used to determine the extent and magnitude of injury to the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
