Information Specialist(s): Renee Takesue
Data Type(s): Biological Field Study: Surveys (biological), Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Biology, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Measurement of intertidal vegetation (eelgrass) shoot densities, plant morphometrics, and sediment grain size at pristine and disturbed beaches in Central Puget Sound, WA.
Vehicle(s): None
Start Port/Location: Poulsbo, WA
End Port/Location: Poulsbo, WA

Equipment Used: Other, Handheld GPS, Hand-grab sample
Information to be Derived: Eelgrass: shoot densities, canopy heights, leaf morphometrics, biomass, rhizome segment lengths. Sediment: grain size distributions.
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Sample data submitted to FAD 7/20/2016 Five eelgrass surveys and sets of 3 surface sediments (0-2 cm) were each collected at 4 sites (1 site had 2 surveys).
