Equipment Used: Handheld GPS, sediment grab sampler, Push corer
Information to be Derived: sediment particle size; carbon content; benthic invertebrate community composition; pore water properties
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 47 shallow (10-cm or 2-cm surface) cores for sediment particle size, carbon, benthic invertebrate biomass and community structure analyses. Six pore-water measurements made in 0.5m deep pits in tidal flats and two freshwater property measurements made in nearby distributary channels.
