The Applied California Current Ecosystem Studies (ACCESS) Program has been taking the pulse of the ocean ecosystem of state and federal waters in Central and Northern California since 2004. Three to four times a year, researchers from this private/public partnership collect oceanographic and biological information through a series of surveys. CeNCOOS has partnered with the ACCESS group to make these data easy accessible in the data portal.
In the CeNCOOS Data Portal:
Zooplankton Trawls (2004-2017)
ACCESS CTD Casts (Available Soon)
Marine Mammal Observation Surveys (Available Soon)
For more information or specific question about the data see the ACCESS Program Website.
