The "MarineGEO Sampling Event & Environmental Monitoring Protocol" collects critical sampling event metadata and environmental data to support MarineGEO surveys used to investigate "Habitats and foundation species" and "Community organization and interactions".

Use this protocol to collect appropriate metadata for each sampling locality at least once per field season, and to deploy temperature loggers to track temperature throughout the year. The protocol collects qualitative and quantitative site characteristics such as coordinates, depth, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen.
