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
