Description
Thatcher Bay, Blakely Island, WA was impacted by wood-waste. This resulted in elevated total organic composition, impacting the benthic habitat quality. Restoration efforts removed the wood waste and may have affected the organic content and algal biomass. In order to estimate the success of these conservation efforts we measured the current elemental concentrations of organic material and algal biomass in Thatcher and, as a control, Armitage Bay. These values are compared to pre-restoration conditions.
