Redwood National and State Parks coastal inventory protocol and 1st annual report
Craig SF, Colridge K, Reath P. 2006. Redwood National and State Parks coastal inventory protocol and 1st annual report
Excerpts: "The park, contracted through a cooperative agreement with Humboldt State University scientists, has decided to fund an examination of the habitat and diverstiy of intertidal animals along the park's coastline, through a coastal inventory project beginning in the summer of 2005 and running through the completion of this inventory, in January of 2007. The results of this study will be integrated into a database that includes GIS information. During low tide windows throughout the summer of 2005 a research team walked the coast delineating segments based on geomorphologic features and collecting data on phusical and biological attributes. Data collected included photos and GIS points for each segment as well as many biological and physical observations (see methods for details), and specimens." The information will be compiled in an Access database. This report also includes a description of methods, as well as the results of 2005 survey of 15 miles of coastline. Results include a "biota table" listing each site locality, number of segments per site, and the correlating taxa found per number of segments per site.
