| Purpose | The proposed plan will use remote sensing techniques and targeted in-situ observations to monitor the post-restoration evolution of beaches, dunes, vegetative cover, and sediment budgets at beach and dune restoration sites specified in the RFP. We will use these data to evaluate if/how restoration projects improved ecological outcomes and decreased storm vulnerability relative to unaltered environments, thereby providing input necessary for estimating cost-effectiveness. The work as part of this field activity will focus on in-situ monitoring of sediment transport and water-quality in creeks within two of the restored marsh/dune sites. | ||||||||

| Summary | Deployment 1116A, 1118AB, and 1119A: On September 18, 2018, a YSI EXO2 and RBR Dwave were deployed at mooring 1116A (the northeast site at the Stone Harbor marsh channel) on a bottom lander platform. An SP80 RTK receiver was used to get horizontal and vertical positions of the platform. On September 19, 2018, a YSI EXO2, and RBR Dwave were deployed at mooring 1119A (the landward site at the Thompsons Beach marsh channel) on a bottom lander platform and a Nortek Aquadopp was deployed at mooring 1118AB (the seaward site at the Thompsons Beach marsh channel). | ||||||||

| Bottom platform | This platform had a multi-parameter water quality sonde (YSI EXO2) that measured pressure, salinity, water temperature, turbidity, oxygen, fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDom), Chlorophyll, and blue green algae fluorescence. The platform also had a fast-sampling pressure logger (RBR Dwave) to measure tides and non-directional waves. On September 19, 2018, two instrumented bottom landing fiberglass platforms were deployed in the marsh channel at the Thompsons Beach site. The platform further south (seaward), had an acoustic Doppler current profiler (Nortek Aquadopp) that measured water velocity, pressure, and temperature. The platform further north (landward) had a multi-parameter water quality sonde (YSI EXO2) and a fast-sampling pressure logger (RBR Dwave) measuring the same parameters as the platform in the marsh channel at Stone Harbor. | Mooring (physical oceanography) | 2 |
