Summary
|
|
Work performed consisted of CRP surveys with the new 15-m
|
|
streamer in shore-perpendicular transects in the areas of Patchogue
|
|
Bay, the south shore of Great South Bay (near wilderness area/Smith
|
|
Point, and Watch Hill to Talisman), and west of Heckscher State
|
|
Park. Distributed piezometer sampling was performed along the shore
|
|
of Patchogue Bay, and an intensive piezometer transect was sampled
|
|
adjacent to Shorefront Park in Patchogue bewteen the outfall of
|
|
Little Creek to the east, and the Ocean Ave. pier to the west.
|
|
Piezometer transect locations extended from the beach out to 30 m
|
|
offshore, and down to a maximum depth of 9 m. The piezometer
|
|
samples revealed a zone of low-salinity groundwater that extended
|
|
offshore as far out as was sampled, confined by what was interpreted
|
|
as buried salt marsh peat in the shallow subsurface. Seepage meters
|
|
were also deployed at this site by a team from Stony Brook
|
|
University, and revealed substantial discharge in the subsurface. A
|
|
radon time series was also collected from a raft anchored offshore
|
|
in this area. Additional work planned for FY2009 includes nutrient
|
|
analysis of samples collected in the last field effort, and
|
|
additional work farther offshore and along the north side of Fire
|
|
Island in the spring-summer of 2009.

as well as the Great South Bay portion of the previous field effort
|

in May 2008 (FA#08007), which made use of a 50-m CRP streamer.
