Our Data Sheets We have designed our data sheets for long-term project use and built in redundancy to ensure we don’t miss data. They have been field tested over the past decade with high success. We organize the data sheets in field bins. Each bin should have sharpened pencils, a white eraser, and datasheets as described below. Please take the time to review these datasheets before fielding! We will use 5 bins total. Each volunteer/student will be responsible for one bin per day. After they master their data sheet, they will rotate jobs and teach each other, with oversight from the PI, Visiting Scientists, TAs, and Interns. The PI will personally teach and monitor for the first few days. If all goes as expected, interns and TAs will have mastered the forms with a few days in the field. One bin will have the Trip Summary (2-page data sheet). We should have 2 page-one of the Trip Summary per day (~20 per team) and 10 page-two per day (~100 per team). The team member who is responsible for this form is writing pretty much all day. The 2nd bin will have the Record of Effort (1-page data sheet) in it. We should have 4 (front and back for a total 8) Record of Effort Sheets per day (~40/team). The team member who is responsible for this form is writing pretty much all day. The 3rd bin will have the Manatee Sighting and Scan (4-page data sheet). We should have 10 sets/day (~100/team). The team member who is responsible for this form is only writing during a scan or an opportunistic manatee sighting. The 4th bin will have the Habitat Sampling (4-page data sheet). We should have 10 sets/day (~100/team). The team member who is responsible for this form is only writing during the habitat sample, which follows every scan. The 5th bin will have the Dolphin Survey (2-page data sheet). We should have 5 sets/day (~50/team). The team member who is responsible for this form is documenting when we depart and return, but only writing down data when we encounter dolphins. Copies of our study site (map), marine life and bird field cards should also be kept in the bins.
