Mangrove Restoration Hydrodynamic Data from 19 Mini Buoys in Vietnam, 2022

Between 08-09-2022 and 19-09-2022, acceleration data was collected from 19 low-cost, bottom-mounted floats called 'Mini Buoys' in the Thai Binh Nature Reserve. This dataset aims to identify hydrological conditions linked to the success or failure of planted mangrove patches. The data is hosted by the Environmental Information Data Centre.

Use Cases

• Correlating hydrodynamic conditions with mangrove survival rates based on sensor data from restoration sites.
• Analyzing water movement patterns in a deltaic mangrove ecosystem based on acceleration measurements.
• Validating low-cost sensor networks for environmental monitoring in coastal wetlands based on the described Mini Buoy deployment.

Strengths

• Data was collected from 19 distinct sensor units, providing spatial coverage across the restoration site.
• The temporal coverage is precisely defined as an 11-day period in September 2022.
• The dataset has a persistent identifier (DOI) for direct citation and access.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The dataset's freshness should be verified as the last metadata update is dated 2026-06-04.
