Data Navigator is the Central Coast Ambient Monitoring Program's (CCAMP) public, web-based data portal, powered by the Marine Pollution Studies Lab at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. It provides interactive access to surface water and sediment quality data for California's Central Coast region. The data presented is sourced primarily from the California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) and includes information from multiple monitoring programs, including conventional water quality, metals, organic chemicals, toxicity, and bioassessment data. Data Navigator supports visualizations such as bar charts, box plots, and time series to help users explore pollutant trends, station locations, and other water quality indicators. The system is updated approximately twice per year, generally in February and August.
