Newport Hydrographic Line (station)

The high-frequency Newport Hydrographic Line sampling provides data on critical and emerging issues including marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, hypoxia, and harmful algal blooms to fishing communities and federal, state, tribal, and academic organizations. These data are distilled into a database of ocean ecosystem indicators used to characterize the habitat and survival of juvenile salmonids. The NH team works with collaborators from various academic institutions and government agencies to answer ecological questions and address management concerns in the northern California Current Large Marine Ecosystem.
