Have you ever been somewhere that might not exist in a few years? This is the north end of Cobb Island, which is rapidly changing. Zoom in for some bonus trimble surveying for scale

The air quality wasn’t great for our quarterly Water Quality Sampling at the @vcrlter yesterday, but there were some pretty stellar crews out on the bays!
Is has been a busy research summer so far at the @vcrlter! With annual fish sampling and seagrass surveying completed, we now have time to focus on individual grad student projects throughout the lagoons, marshes, islands, and forests

Conditions in the center of the meadow are lovely even when the channel is wild and wind-swept.

Sometimes @vcrlter bird survey teams embrace lagoon work too!
It’s classic @vcrlter for both captain and crew to compliment each other on being great.
Today they even both sent photo proof.

The past week was full of annual @vcrlter SET, RSET, and Marker Horizon sampling in the lovely Brownsville marsh. The SETs were installed in 1997 and the RSETs in 2003 along the creek bank and in the low, mid, and high marsh.
