Clift A and Steele Z. 2016. Monitoring marine sediment as an indicator of a changing ocean. Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District
From the abstract: "The purpose of this study is to monitor intertidal marine sediment pH and shellfish recruitment within Hancock and Washington Counties as indicators of ocean acidification. Shell-producing species are a vital commercial resource to the State of Maine and are especially important to the local economies in Hancock and Washington Counties. The protocol is designed to engage nonprofits, citizen scientists, and academics in the monitoring of local resources. The data will inform local, state, and federal government agency resource management decisions."
