Purpose
|
Characterize baseline condition of nearshore/tidal flats of the Nisqually
National Wildlife Refuge prior to dike removal planned for September 2009.
Repeat surveys planned for 2010-2012 are intended to quantify response of
nearshore/tidal flat geomorphology, benthic and planktonic community
composition and succession, food web connectivity, and water quality conditions
following dike removal and develop models of nearshore ecosystem response.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Substrate type, benthic invertebrate and phytoplankton community composition,
water quality, suspended sediment and detrital organic matter flux to tidal
flats, historical sediment and metal accumulation rates in sediment cores,
submarine groundwater and associated nutrient flux to coastal waters
