Mapping & Surveying: Monitoring the Active Replenishment of Subsiding Habitat Project (MARSH) - Water Quality Survey
Three water quality stations wereestablished. One in Lee Marsh, one in Hill Marsh and one on the Olsson Pier. The Olsson pier also supports a real-time, satellite uplink, high accuracy tide gauge. The water quality stations monitor temperature, the amount of oxygen in the water (dissolved oxygen), depth, and salinity. The water quality stations will provide continuous monitoring of water conditions. VIMS researchers on the Pamunkey revealed salinity measurements of almost 5 parts per thousand above Sweethall marsh.
