Reserves are protected for:
Long-term research and monitoring Education Resource stewardship
27 reserves protecting 1.3 million acres estuarine lands and waters
3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC
Orlando, FL February 2009
NERRS Goals
1. Strengthen the protection and management of representative estuarine ecosystems to advance estuarine conservation, research, and education.
2. Increase the use of reserve science and sites to address priority coastal management issues.
3. Enhance peoples’ ability and willingness to make informed decisions and take responsible actions that affect coastal communities and ecosystems.

System-wide Monitoring Program
Goal: Promoting stewardship of the Nation’s estuaries through science and education using a system of protected areas
Purpose: To identify and track short-term variability and long-term changes in the integrity and biodiversity of representative
estuarine ecosystems and coastal watersheds for the purpose of contributing to effective national, regional, and site specific coastal zone management

Centralized Data Management Office
The Centralized Data Management Office (CDMO) was established in 1995 in support of the National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) System-wide Monitoring Program (SWMP) which involves 26 sites around the US and Puerto Rico in order to:
develop, implement and manage the basic infrastructure and data protocol of the NERR SWMP, and
support the assimilation and exchange of data and metadata within the NERRS framework
3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC
Orlando, FL February 2009
CDMO Priorities1. The advancement of the System-wide Monitoring Program data
and information management program
2. To maintain the online data and information server which provides access to data, metadata and derived products associated with all monitoring efforts http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu
3. To provide technical support services via telephone, e-mail, and individual and group training to NERRS
4. The continuation of the CDMO Data Management Committee annual workshop to provide an additional avenue for the exchange of ideas and information related to database management, technological advances, and other data collection and monitoring program
5. The continuation of the annual Technician Training Workshop series to provide training to NERR technicians working on SWMP initiatives
6. Provide technical support for special NOAA projects and provide information for management and outreach support
3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC
Orlando, FL February 2009
CDMO Data Ingestion and Dissemination
Conservatively, the CDMO reviews, archives and disseminates:
• 13.5 million data points per year for the water quality monitoring program (4 stations collecting 8 parameters every half-hour at 27 NERRS sites)• 34.4 million data points per year for the meteorological monitoring program (1 station collecting 25 parameters quarterly, hourly and daily intervals at 27 NERRS sites)• 31,104 data points per year for the nutrient monitoring program (4 stations collecting monthly grabs and 1 station collecting monthly diel of 6 parameters at 27 NERRS sites)3rd Meeting of the GCOOS DMAC

National NERRS IOOS Activities
• In support of being a component of the national backbone, the NERRS has undertaken several significant efforts:
• A metadata translation effort.• Implementation of telemetry for
improved data delivery.• Advanced QA/QC.• Supported end-user application

• Metadata translation effortThe conversion
program takes the existing metadata and reformat it so that it can be imported into Meta-Door.
Meta-Door then takes the metadata and make it FGDC compliant.

• Improved QA/C
• Initial “on-the-fly” automated QA/QC.
• Secondary data review by individual NERRS results in posting of “provisional” data.
• Tertiary review by CDMO and Reserves results in “authoritative” data
