Procedures for installing permanent monitoring platforms supporting the SECN salt marsh monitoirng efforts. The following Standard Operating Procedure outlines the procedure involved in establishing a platform for salt marsh community monitoring sites. Each site will monitor salt marsh accretion and subsidence, soil salinity, and vegetation species composition, cover, and health.
