Title: Recovery of Intertidal Communities and Recommendations for Future Monitoring 00510-BAA

Project Year and Number: 2000: 00510-BAA

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: None

Principal Investigator (PI): Tom Dean (Coastal Resources)

Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: None

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Monitoring

Injured Resources Addressed: Intertidal Organisms, Sediments

Abstract: This project will examine the state of recovery of key habitats and representative injured species within the intertidal zone in Prince William Sound. FY 00 will consist of a statistical comparison of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hazmat and Coastal Habitat (primarily Project CH1A) data and identification of cost effective measures for monitoring intertidal communities. FY 01 will consist of sampling at intertidal sites within the sheltered rocky habitat that were previously sampled as part of the Coastal Habitat Injury Assessment. In addition, sampling will be conducted at representative sites sampled by the NOAA Hazmat team. These data, along with those previously collected during the Coastal Habitat and NOAA Hazmat programs, will be evaluated to assess the status of recovery.
