Notes: Joseph, Isabelle, and Kathryn are collecting sediment plates, shoreline positions, and water level data with Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve staff using a NERR vessel. First sediment plate deployment was in July 2018 with sediment plates being collected/re-deployed every 3 months (October 2018
(18CCT10), February 2019 (19CCT01), May 2019 (19CCT02), August 2019 (19CCT03), and November 2019 (19CCT04)).
