Station operating partners are Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NBNERR), Narragansett Bay Commission (NBC), University of Rhode Island\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography (URI\/GSO), and Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). As of 2017, the network operates 14 stations throughout Narragansett Bay. These stations consist of year-round land-based stations and summer seasonal buoy stations (May\u2013October). Most stations are equipped with YSI brand instruments measuring near surface and near bottom temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, depth, pH, and chlorophyll on 15-minute intervals. All partners use similar methodology and all data are QA\/QCd based on an EPA approved QAPP (reference link). Most stations have real-time capabilities.<\/p>\n<section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-boxout-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-boxout  \"><p><strong>Citation<\/strong>: For citations, please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dem.ri.gov\/programs\/emergencyresponse\/bart\/netdata.php\">http:\/\/www.dem.ri.gov\/programs\/emergencyresponse\/bart\/netdata.php<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[154247]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-154761\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"This map shows the 19 Narragansett Bay Fixed-Site Water Quality Monitoring Network Locations, spread throughout the Bay.\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN-364x471.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN-500x647.jpg 500w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/gso\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/NBFSMN.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a>NBFSMN website links by partner:<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li>Real-time links are to raw data that have not been QA\/QCd.&nbsp;

The core tubes were made of acrylic and measured 30 cm in length and 3.4 cm in diameter. The cores were inserted approximately 15 cm into the sediment and closed at each end with a rubber stopper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Processing<\/strong>: The top 2 cm of sediment was removed along with any trapped overlying water to analyze separately from the remaining 8 cm. A sub-sample of the 0\u20132 cm portion was also taken using a 1.2 cm core for enumeration of meiofaunal populations. The samples were preserved in 10% buffered formalin and stained with Rose Bengal dye.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Counting<\/strong>: Each macrofaunal sample was rinsed through stacked 500 and 300 \u03bcm sieves. The meiofaunal samples were rinsed through a 37 \u03bcm sieve. Organisms retained on the sieves were identified to species level and enumerated. Reference information for the identification of common benthic fauna found in Narragansett Bay may be downloaded here: <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/916\/Benthos_id_sources.pdf\">Benthos_id_sources (.pdf)<\/a>. Abundances were converted to numbers per square meter by taking the mean abundance of the 15 replicates and multiplying by 1 m\u00b2\/core area. Data, organized by the year that samples were collected, are available to download below. Please note: there is no data available for 2003 and during 2005, only the North Jamestown station was sampled.
