Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Eric Grossman

Data Type(s): Environmental Data: Conductivity, Environmental Data: Dissolved Oxygen, Environmental Data: pH, Environmental Data: Temperature, Environmental Data: Turbidity, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Sonar: Single Beam

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Characterize tidal flat and neashore benthic and water column habitat conditions and geomorphic, substrate and benthic invertebrate change resulting from large-scale wetland restoration and climate change.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Solo Point, WA
