Notes: Platform will be the Nisqually Tribal research boat. Environmental Data (Temperature/Turbidity/Depth) will be recorded with Aqualoggers S/N 24-006 and 24-007. Environmental Data (Light) will be recorded with Dataflow Odyssey sensors S/N 7416, 7417, 7418, 7419. Environmental sensors will be recovered the week of February 20, 2017.
