The System Wide Monitoring Program (SWMP) was implemented by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) in 1995 to provide continuous monitoring data at over 140 continuous monitoring stations in 28 estuaries across the United States. SWMPrExtension (pronounced “swamper extension”) is an R package that provides additional functions to organize and analyze SWMP data and is intended as a companion package for SWMPr (pronounced “swamper”). Currently, there is no citation for SWMPrExtension.

SWMPrExtension adds several functions to existing concepts in SWMPr and introduces a new concept called “Reporting”.
The core analyses available within the SWMPrExtension R package and used to create the reserve level annual report fall into four general categories: boxplots and barplots, range plots, threshold plots, and trend plots. There is also an additional category called “mapping” which contains functions that generate many of maps associated with the reserve-level reports. The analyses, methods, and maps in this section were selected by and approved by a technical advisory committee composed of NERR research coordinators, SWMP technicians and CDMO staff.

The new concept of reporting refers to functions that were specifically developed for use with NERRS reserve-level & national-level reporting scripts that are used to generate the reserve-level and national-level annual reports.
