Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 4 days spent sonar mapping from 5 to 25 m water depths off the mouth of the Elwha river and east. 3 days spent video groundtruthing in area mapped with sonar. 1 day spent with bottom macro camera in sandy areas for digital grain size analysis, with grab sampling for calibration of digital grain sizing program. 5 bad weather days. Sonar bathy and backscatter data, processed in the field. Digital video tapes. Digital macro photos. Bottom grab samples.
