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.
