We have approximately monthly data from the coastal Mobile-Tensaw Delta in coastal Alabama for fishes and zooplankton. We have published a number of papers based on our work in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, but have a wide array of additional data that can be used to quantify the influence and potential influence of any oil contamination.
