Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Coastal Habitats in Puget Sound (ZP00AZZ)
Principal Investigator(s): Jessica Lacy
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Jessica Lacy, Andrew Stevens
Data Type(s): Environmental Data: CTD, Environmental Data: Current, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Characterize tidal currents and wave energy over the course of a winter season near Possession Pt, on the west side of Possession Sound, and Browns Bay, on the east side of Possession Sound. This work is part of a larger study comparing physical and biological attributes of the nearshore region at the two sites.
