Crew
Renee Takesue Chief Scientist, Boat Tender, USGS/WCMG
Tim Elfers Assist tripod deployment, USGS/WCMG
Sandy Wyllie-Echeverria Measure water column parameters, UW/FHL
Pema Kitaeff Collect plants, UW/FHL
Carrie Craig Collect plants UW/FHL,
Purpose
Explore relations between turbidity, leaf photosynthetic activity and plant
growth
Information to be Derived
Time series of turbidity at the top of the eelgrass canopy; plant morphometrics
Summary
Turbidity at the top of the canopy and plant growth will be measured over 3
weeks in winter in Picnic Cove, Shaw Island and Shoal Bay, Lopez Island.
Notes
Tim Elfers: fabrication of tripods (2 weeks), in-field deployment (3 days)
Univ. Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories boat Auklet
Got Help?
