Smallest task - most done by partners

Urban impact, environmental correlation modeling (bathymetry, groundwater, sediment contaminants and resuspension, circulation)

Monitoring and experimentation (light attenuation effects, water and sediment quality impacts, impediments to seagrass restoration, epiphytes as ecological indicators)
