NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) conduct a variety of coastal
environmental monitoring and research studies that generate invaluable data sets
and reference information on coastal ecosystem and stressors.
The following is an alphabetical list of web-enabled tools and products produced
at
CCEHBR
- Ecological Assessment of Storm Impacts
- This site includes a database of chemical and toxicological information on contaminants
permitted for use in the St. Johns River Watershed, Florida, and the lower Columbia
River watershed in Oregon and Washington. It will include other classes of chemical
contaminants and other study areas in the future.
- Research Area: Estuaries and Land Use
- Project Website:

- National Benthic Inventory
- This site provides access to NCCOS’s National Benthic Inventory data. This includes
information on benthic species distributions and a corresponding taxonomic voucher
collection of preserved benthic specimens.
- Research Area: Protected Areas and Resources
- Project Website:
http://www.nbi.noaa.gov
- Nutrient and Coliform Loading
- This is a database of available fecal coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci bacteria,
and nutrient loading data. Loading for contaminants other than fecal coliform bacteria
and nutrients are included when values occurred coincidentally within the same literature.
- Research Area: Estuaries and Land Use
- Project Website:
http://www.chbr.noaa.gov/ncl
- Pharmaceuticals in the Environment, Information for Assessing Risk
- This is a database of available information on the general chemistry and toxicology
of potential environmental levels of pharmaceuticals. This information will allow
users to quickly assess the hazards these drugs might pose to aquatic resources.
- Research Area: Estuaries and Land Use
- Project Website:
http://www.chbr.noaa.gov/peiar
- Phytoplankton Monitoring Network
- A volunteer network that monitors species composition and distribution of harmful
algae and provides educational opportunities and community involvement in coastal
stewardship.
- Research Area: Harmful Algal Blooms and Analytical Response
