Start Port/Location: Fay Bainbridge Park, Bainbridge Island, WA
End Port/Location: Fay Bainbridge Park, Bainbridge Island, WA
Start Date: 2014-06-12
End Date: 2014-06-16
Equipment Used: Hand-grab sample, Handheld GPS
Information to be Derived: Sediment grain size and eelgrass shoot density, canopy height, habitat area, biomass.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Three shore-normal vegetation surveys along transects occupied in 2013 on the northeast shore; two shore-parallel surveys at transects occupied in 2013 on the northwest shore. Twelve surface sediment samples (3 per transect) for grain-size analysis.

Notes: Sediment sampling will be by scooping surface sediment at low tide. Eelgrass sampling will be by hand-collection at low tide.
