Porto-Novo Lagoon SDG 6.3.2 Data Completeness Assessment, 2006–2022

A 9.5 KB Excel file assesses the degree of completeness of environmental datasets for the Porto-Novo Lagoon against the SDG 6.3.2 Level 1 core parameter groups. The readiness assessment covers the period from 2006 to 2022. Author Metogbe Belfrid Djihouessi published the dataset on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Assessing data readiness for SDG 6.3.2 reporting based on the described parameter group completeness.
• Identifying gaps in long-term water quality monitoring for the Porto-Novo Lagoon based on the 2006–2022 timeframe.
• Benchmarking environmental dataset management practices for lagoon ecosystems.
• Informing resource allocation for water quality monitoring programs based on the completeness assessment.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (9.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Provides a 17-year temporal coverage (2006–2022) for longitudinal assessment.
• Explicitly linked to a standardized international framework (SDG 6.3.2).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The dataset's small size suggests it contains summary or metadata, not raw monitoring data.
