Description:
The CMAP project has developed a set of products and tools to assist in the analytical exercises needed to conduct a data gap analysis, which included: (1) an inventory database; (2) spreadsheets; (3) geospatial data layers and mapping tools; (4) web services; (5) web visualization tools; and (6) monitoring program data links. Monitoring practitioners can use these products and tools to assess the patterns and trends in the data availability and data quality from programmatic metadata, and use that exploration to pinpoint datasets within programs that they want to investigate further to address their objectives. This report is a component of a series for the RESTORE Council (NOAA and USGS, 2019a,b; NOAA and USGS, 2020), and focuses on how the CMAP inventory of existing habitat and water quality observation, monitoring, and mapping programs can be used to conduct targeted gap assessments for different monitoring questions (e.g., exploring changes to specific water quality parameters in an estuary or larger scale study extent).
