2015-341-FA (CMHRP activity #7157)

Field Activity 2015-341-FA

Identifier

2015-341-FA

Alternate names

15FWR03

Purpose

Examine effects of sediment resuspension on Pyrodinium cysts distribution and viability.

Location

Old Tampa Bay/Safety Harbor, Florida

Summary

Collected 4 push cores at 3 sites in Old Tampa Bay

Info derived

grain size, beryllium-7 and thorium-234 activities, organic matter content

Platform

Halimeda
22-ft Twin Vee (R/V G. Hill) This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.

Vehicles
