Field Activity 2014-618-FA

Identifier 2014-618-FA
Purpose Year 5 monitoring of environmental and eelgrass characteristics at the Nisqually River Delta restoration site.
Location Nisqually River Delta, Lacey, WA
Summary Two shore-normal surveys along permanent transects; surface sediment (3 per transect) for grain-size analysis; in situ pressure, temperature, optical backscatter; four 20 cm-long sediment cores (2 per transect), sectioned for grain-size and pore water sulfides.
Info derived Water column turbidity, sediment texture, pore water reduction-oxidation potential, and eelgrass metrics.
