Grant Number: 20020633
To continue monitoring vegetation change and mudflat development in the Quinnipiac River tidal marshes. In addition, to conduct field and lab work to begin to test hypothesized causes for the observed wetland loss and to assess how marsh loss has affected the load of pollutants (N,trace metals) to the river.
