Support monitoring data

California MPA monitoring data overview -- full doc here

Considering we're looking at one variable of interest like species density:

• Value -- what the cartography will work on (density, count, % cover, cpue, etc)
• Time/Date
  • Formats:
    • xx/xx/xxxx
    • year month and day in separate attributes
  • Non-standard intervals, some are monthly, some yearly, some 3x annually based on weather conditions etc
• Location/Site
  • At it's simplest, lat/lon attributes -> point
  • One dataset would be better served by a line type geometry, but this could come later
• Optional groupBy attributes (e.g. by species, class, etc)

Replicate Handling:
One situation of this is within PISCO data. One site will have multiple transects at different levels, so at one site on one date for one species may have 6 records. Will need to specify how to handle those (mean/sum/max)

Lowest hanging fruit is CCFRP Nearshore Fishes Abundance and Distribution Data:

• Value - CPUE and BPUE
• Date - xx/xx/xxxx format
• GroupBy - Common_Name
• Geometry - simple point (lat/lon)

Additional considerations:

• Should data updates always include all previous years (uploading the complete dataset) or do we want to support "adding" to the existing dataset with a new years worth of data?
