The River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network (RECON) is a network of water quality sensors deployed throughout the Caloosahatchee river and estuary to provide real-time, water quality data to scientists, policy makers, and the general public. Established in 2007, RECON is part of the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) Marine Lab.
The data made available on SCCF's River, Estuary and Coastal Observing Network (or RECON) website should be considered provisional for use by anyone. While we make every effort to provide correct and complete data in the graphs and image summaries, SCCF provides no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of these preliminary public data. Users are strongly cautioned to consider the provisional nature of the data before using them for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves monetary or operational impacts. The information presented on this website (http://recon.sccf.org) is served up for public use (unless otherwise noted) and may be distributed or copied with the following request, specifically that its use include an appropriate byline/photo/image credit. For the use of raw, more complete datasets, or additional specifics, please contact the SCCF Marine Laboratory at the following address marinelab@sccf.org. Finally, some of the documentation on this server may contain information created and maintained by other organizations. Please note that SCCF does not control nor guarantee the relevance, timeliness, or accuracy of these linked, outside materials.
For data requests, please download the data sharing agreement (PDF), and email the partially completed form to emilbran@sccf.org.
Please specify the data parameters required, the duration of the data for these parameters and how these data will be used (e.g., proposal, research modeling, manuscript, etc.).
During this upgrade process the current RECON website may be offline at random times. Additionally data from the RECON sensors may be delayed by several days, as the sensors are reprogramed to send data to the new website. We apologize for any inconveniences during this process, but we know the new website will be worth it!
