Bathymetric Survey (Frenchmans Bay, ME) — Detailed bathymetric survey to improve navigation was completed for town officials.
Water Sampling and Flow Measurements (Puget Sound, WA) — Water samples and flow measurements were made in the vicinity of floating rafts in Totten Inlet, WA. The results of the sampling supported the development of coupled hydrodynamic and biological models of the areas currently used for shellfish aquaculture.
Intertidal Oyster Culture (Puget Sound, WA) — Hydrodynamic models of intertidal aquaculture systems used for oyster production were used to determine the productive capacity of shallow waters at two different Puget Sound locations.
Subtidal Clam Culture (Cherrystone Creek, VA) — Three-dimensional hydrodynamic models of shallowwater areas used for clam bottom culture were used to study the relationship between the bottom culture and health of nearby eelgrass beds.
Mussel Bottom Culture (Mud Cove, ME) — Biological growout models were used to maximize the production of mussels in this coastal embayment.
Shellfish Raft Culture (Hardwood Island, ME) — Original research performed at the Hardwood Island aquaculture site led to the development of an Aquaculture Expert System for designing floating rafts. This project was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and was completed over a four year period of time.
Productive Capacity Study (Cortes Island, BC) — A study designed to estimate the capacity of Gorge Harbour to support oyster culture was performed at the request of the British Columbia Shellfish Growers Association. |
