Field Activity 2014-626-FA

Identifier 2014-626-FA
Purpose Characterize sediment grain size and eelgrass characteristics.
Location Fay Bainbridge Park, Washington
Summary Three shore-normal vegetation surveys along transects occupied in 2013 on the northeast shore; two shore-parallel surveys at transects occupied in 2013 on the northwest shore. Twelve surface sediment samples (3 per transect) for grain-size analysis.
Info derived Sediment grain size and eelgrass shoot density, canopy height, habitat area, biomass.
Comments Sediment sampling will be by scooping surface sediment at low tide. Eelgrass sampling will be by hand-collection at low tide.
