NPS Mid-Atlantic Network’s (MIDN) Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Data (2016-2025)

This data package contains a series of datasets collected by the Mid-Atlantic Network’s (MIDN) Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Program in accordance with published monitoring protocols (Dammeyer 2018; https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2256449). These datasets include benthic macroinvertebrate, stream habitat, and water quality information from 2016 through 2025 for select stream sites in Appomattox Court House National Historical Park (APCO), Booker T Washington National Monument (BOWA), Eisenhower National Historic Site (EISE), Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park (FRSP), Gettysburg National Military Park (GETT), Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site (HOFU), Petersburg National Battlefield (PETE), Richmond National Battlefield Park (RICH), and Valley Forge National Historical Park (VAFO). Methods are described in Dammeyer, 2018 but we also include a brief summary of methods herein. Data from earlier versions of the benthic macroinvertebrate protocol can be found on the NPS Data Store (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2294848).
