NOAA RESTORE Science Program: Linking Community and Food-web Approaches to Restoration: Taxonomic data for marsh infauna associated with natural and restored marshes along a salinity gradient generated from a freshwater diversion at West Pointe a la Hache into eastern Barataria Bay, Louisiana, 2018-05-21 to 2021-05-25 (NCEI Accession 0296020)

This dataset contains benthic macroinfauna species identifications and number of individuals collected from surface sediment samples at six sites at various distances from a freshwater diversion in the vicinity of West Pointe a la Hache, Lake Hermitage, and Port Sulphur, Louisiana in May of 2018, 2019, and 2021. Five replicates were collected at each marsh location. Taxonomic identification of individuals was determined to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Salinity data and marsh characterization for each sample location are also included in this dataset. Data are in spreadsheet format.
