Pocomoke River Biofingerprinting Project
A collaboration between Stroud Water Research Center, Assateague Coastal Trust and ShoreRivers
The Project: Tidal River Biofingerprinting Sediment Project (TRiBS)
How far does a river’s sediment travel into the estuary after storms?
Assateague Coastal Trust is currently serving as project partner to Stroud Water Research Center for a 3 year, National Science Foundation funded project that aims to better understand sediment transport throughout the Pocomoke and Choptank Rivers.
​
Four stations were deployed in the Fall of 2021. ACT and Stroud built, programmed, installed, and currently maintain these logging stations that collect real-time data every 10 minutes. The data collected serves as a critical component in a sediment transport study being led by Stroud. Each station reports data in real time to MonitorMyWatershed.org, which can be accessed anytime by smart phone or computer!
​
A critical part of this project entails the collection of data parameters:
-
Temperature
-
Conductivity
-
Water level
-
Turbidity
