The COMBB team began the year’s deployments of dataloggers in Onset Bay, Apponagansett Bay, the Acushnet River, and West Falmouth Harbor. By the end of May, 15 oxygen/temperature/conductivity loggers were deployed in these four estuaries. An additional 12 loggers were deployed in estuaries from Martha’s Vineyard to Westport.
Reece Thompson, an REU from the University of Alabama, and Erin Mansfield from North Carolina State University both joined the COMBB team for the summer. They help manage the logger deployments, logger data, and ensure data quality control.
