Summary
|
We documented the occurrence of invasive species of tunicates on
eelgrass in rapid assessment surveys and quadrat surveys. Eelgrass samples
with and without attached tunicates were collected and dried in a drying
oven at MV Commission office in Oak Bluffs. Eelgrass samples will be
processed by EPA-Boston personnel for carbohydrate, sugar, and starch
content. 191 Digital Photographs were gathered.
