      Abstract: 
          This dataset contains MOCNESS (Multiple Opening/Closing Net Environmental Sensing System) profile data 
          collected on board the R/V F.G. Walton Smith during Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Plankton 
          Survey Walton Smith 1 (WS1) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-09-08 to 2010-09-16. This survey (WS1, chief 
          scientist: Malinda Sutor) was part of a series of NRDA cruises conducted in 2010 and 2011 to evaluate the 
          distribution and densities of ichthyoplankton and other zooplankton in northern Gulf of Mexico waters 
          potentially affected by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWHOS). The dataset includes the original profile 
          data in three formats (.RAW, .TAB, .PRO) for individual MOCNESS tows, as well as combined and summary data 
          (all tows) for the full cruise. Datasets include sampling event data (e.g., time, latitude, longitude, 
          salinity, temperature, depth, fluorescence, velocity, and volume filtered). This dataset corresponds with 
          the MOCNESS Ichthyoplankton dataset available under GRIIDC Unique Dataset Identifier (UDI) R6.x815.000:0007 
          (DOI: 10.7266/n7-30jw-aq82).
      Purpose: 
          This data was collected as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) of the MC252 Deepwater 
          Horizon 2010 oil spill.
