wqpoints_wq.shp is a subset of the shapefile described below (wqpoints.shp). It was filtered by using the field "Type" to exclude "macroinvert" sites, resulting in a layer that contains only water quality monitoring sites. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spatial Information Systems Institute -- GIS METADATA LIBRARY: SONOMARIN COVERAGE NAME: WQPOINTS METADATA FILE: WQPOINTS.TXT METADATA FILE DATE: 11/01/02 COVERAGE DESCRIPTION: Theme name: PORE water quality monitoring stations Description: These points are locations where Point Reyes National Seashore (PORE) conducts surface water quality monitoring and/or aquatic bioassessment.
