Collect baseline physical information to inform management of dredged sediment in San Francisco Bay.
Location
Eastern shoreline of Central San Francisco Bay
Info derived
Bathymetric and topographic surveys of the marsh, intertidal, and shallow subtidal habitats, collection of sediment cores on the mudflat to quantify sediment properties including grain size and bulk density, and deployment of oceanographic instruments to measure water levels, winds, waves, currents, and suspended sediment concentrations
