Many parts of Pipe Creek are so shallow that the stream gage is no longer under water. The stream gage will need to be moved further toward the center of the creek to be effective. Sandusky, Ohio.
Shallow Creek Sites

Shallow Creek Sites
Many parts of Pipe Creek are so shallow that you can see directly through the water to the bottom. This makes sampling difficult, since disturbing the sediment is almost inevitable. Sandusky, Ohio.

Satellite-tracked drifter
Conceptual diagram illustrating how water can detect contaminants, such as mercury, that can become biomagnified through food webs, and is toxic to consumers.
Water quality monitoring
Conceptual diagram illustrating different monitoring activities implemented on Assateague Island to track changing habitats. Monitoring activities - which are habitat specific - include water quality, seagrass area, salt marsh nekton survey, surface elevation table, plover nests and fledgling success, upland elevation change, shoreline rate of change, and beach topography.
