Manuel,

Ecology, and it's applied focus Environmental science, are very broad. I've
been working with these data for several decades so I need to ask what types
of data you want.

I don't know what's available from Costa Rican agencies but I do know that
in the US you can get geochemical, biological, hydrologidal, and other data
from the US Geological Survay, Environmental Protection Agency (if they've
not removed them), Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and Natural
Resources Conservation Service.

You can also look at StreamNet run by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries
Council, The Army Corps of Engineers for hydraulic, flow, and sediment
transport data.

That's a start.
