A Non-Point Source of Contaminants to the Estuarine Food Web: Mobilized Particles from the Intertidal Zone
Description / purpose
The purpose of this research project is to quantify the process of contaminant concentration and resuspension of shallow and intertidal cohesive sediments at sites along the salinity gradient from Prospect Island to San Pablo Bay. This research is important because it helps to understand the pathways by which contaminants are assimilated, which is essential to appropriately manage habitat areas.
