The water quality instrument is then ready to be redeployed. They are located along the southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean. The site has a salinity range of 18-35 ppt and a tidal range that averages 1.2 meters. This site receives minimal freshwater input from leakage of the Cape Fear River through the 5.6 km rock jetty that separate the two bodies of water. The site has a salinity range of 15-35 ppt and a tidal range that averages 2 meters.
All monitoring is considered long term.
