## California Coastal Marine Ecosystem Surveys – Slide Imaging and ArchivingProposal for Continuation of Task Order L-24

- Climate Database Modernization Program
- November 15, 2006
- Task Leaders:  Janice Beattie, NOAA Library
- Jan Roletto,  NOAA Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary
- Steven Rutz, NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center

## Overview — Continuation of Task Order L-24

- 3 collections of ecosystem surveys along California coast
- Supports NOAA Ecosystem & Climate Mission Goals
- Cooperative effort – inter-line office and inter-agency
- ~76,000 data slides to rescue
- ~3,500 slide log sheets to rescue
- Produce archival and web-distribution images
- Archive images and log sheets at NODC
- Images available online from archive via                  NOAA Library web site

**Notes:**
From NOAA’s Strategic Plan: Updated for FY2005 – FY2010:
Here are two Ecosystem Mission Goal Performance Objectives supported by this project:
1) Increase number of regional coastal and marine ecosystems delineated with approved indicators of ecological health and socioeconomic benefits that are monitored and understood.
2) Increase number of habitat acres conserved or restored.

Here is a Climate Mission Goal Performance Objective supported by this project:
1) Understand and predict the consequences of climate variability and change on marine ecosystems.

Cooperative effort:
1) NOAA/NOS (National Marine Sanctuary Program)
2) NOAA/NESDIS (NOAA Library and National Oceanographic Data Center)
3) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge)

_**Common Murre Restoration — Continuation of Task Order L-24**_

**Notes:**
GFNMS = Gulf of Farallones National Marine Sanctuary

“Murre” is pronounced like the first syllable in the name “Murphy”

- NODC and NOAA Library:
- Created prototype web page for product distribution
- Drafted FGDC metadata records for the 3 collections
- Completed image QA for ~9K Beach Watch and all Kelp slides
- Archived Beach Watch and Kelp images (NODC Accession 2428 and 2429)
- Completed MARC21 records for Beach Watch and Kelp images

**Notes:**
FGDC = Federal Geographic Data Committee
QA = Quality Assurance (this activity includes computing MD5 checksums and visually inspecting every image)

## Originators will ship remaining slides and log sheets to the contractor (Beach Watch: ~60K slides and ~3K log sheets; Common Murre Restoration: ~5K slides)
Contractor will scan slides and create TIFF and JPEG images
Contractor will scan slide log sheets and create TIFF images
Contractor to create CD-R/DVD-R (one copy for originator and one copy for NODC)
