Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve

05 Aug, 07 AM - 06 Aug, 10 AM

We will collect 10x 1L seawater samples at a low tide when site can be safely accessed on foot based on ambient surf/weather conditions. Collect samples every 2 m by hand from shore using a telescopic pole and Nalgene bottle attachment while walking an alongshore transect of the rocky intertidal habitat. Use MARINe survey GPS position as mid-point of transect, and measure water quality parameters with handheld probe here. After collection, wipe exterior of sample bottles with 10% bleach and DI rinse before storage/transport. Samples may be filtered on-site when conditions allow or will be stored in coolers and transported by car to a public access area for immediate filtration (within 1 hour of collection). Filtration by peristaltic pump and enclosed filter capsules (0.45um Sterivex). Sample preservation by addition of 2ml Longmire’s buffer (non-hazardous) directly to filter capsule. Expected duration per sampling event: 1-2 hours.
