| Purpose | Collect marsh cores, pore-water and surface water conductivity, temperature and depth time-series data, and conduct elevation surveys in 11 tidally-restricted estuary systems on Cape Cod to examine environmental geochemistry and health of the estuary. Three additional sites in Rhode Island were added to this study; two sites with a restored tidal restriction and one control natural salt marsh site in Narragansett Bay. Equipment or personnel only. Data, if any, are managed under a different field activity.
