Offerings of Data #1
Q. What does your data look like? A. Tremendously diverse. I will post examples as they are indicated as available or passed to me for use within the ISDL project. If the data is proprietary (acknowledgement for all products and uses) it will be released after suitable declarations of honour and good will.
Oops! "new users can only put 5 links in a post" ... I have to break this up.

New Salmon Escapement Database System
NuSEDS is the Pacific Region’s centralized Oracle database that holds adult salmon escapement data. About 10,000 salmon spawning sites in DFO Pacific Region have been observed 0 to 10 times per year for 6 species for nearly 100 years (poorly before 1948). This is a rich, valuable, complicated, and largely unexplored dataset. Extensive metadata are required and provided. Data is aggregated within year; the raw data is largely on paper. Caveat analysta.
