Project Description: In association with research and monitoring efforts of aquatic ecosystems at Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO), CACO and the Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) will collaborate on water quality monitoring and assessment, including evaluation of water quality for the Herring River tidal restoration project, East Harbor restoration project, and kettle pond monitoring. Under the joint study plan described below, water samples will be collected in the field from estuarine and freshwater sites and delivered to the CCS lab for analysis. Samples will be analyzed for nutrients (e.g. Nitrogen, Phosphorus) and elemental constituents and anions (e.g. Iron, Chloride, Sulfate).
