The cANIMIDA Data Management Platform is designed to facilitate storage of and access to the extensive data management system for the cANIMIDA Project. The Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring in Development Area (ANIMIDA), a five-year study started in 1999, provided baseline data and monitoring results to evaluate potential effects from site-specific production in the Beaufort Sea OCS. ANIMIDA monitoring included pre-construction, and construction, and early production periods. The last field sampling for ANIMIDA was conducted in 2003.

In 2004 the five-year Continuation of Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring in Development Area (cANIMIDA) study began, and included Field programs conducted in 2004-2007 including turbidity, total suspended sediment, and current velocity measurements. Sediment and suspended sediment samples were analyzed for PAH, saturated hydrocarbons, chemical tracers, trace metals, and supporting geophysical measurements. Biota sampling included similar chemical measurements in clams, amphipods, deployed mussels, and fish.

The current and last year of the Program has been devoted to reporting and communication of monitoring results, and compilation of the data into a Program database that is now accessible via this web site.
