©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These data include water quality metrics collected at a depth of around 20 meters in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in March 2023. Measurements were taken in the West Flower Garden Banks near Buoy #5. Microbial cell abundances, total organic carbon concentrations, and total nitrogen concentrations were measured from water collected 2 m above the reefs. Understanding the physical and chemical properties of reef water is important for understanding the microbial conditions of co...

At each sampling location in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, we collected via SCUBA reef seawater for the following water quality metrics from 2 meters above the reef: the microbial community of the surrounding environment, the total organic carbon and total nitrogen, and cell abundances.
Sample processing will be conducted using previously published methods (Becker et al., 2020; Weber et al., 2020).
