Significant woody debris around the baskets and significant mud/silt in the baskets. Very few dead mussels
 

 

 

Our 4 baskets are here but at least 2 are sitting on the bottom. 

 

 

The day was cold.  The 4 baskets look good.

They were pulled out & cleaned.   

Volunteers from DC Strokes worked with Kyle.

The light was fading rapidly as we worked to 

complete the measurements

This might be the last measurement session here.

The baskets will be moved 2/9 to KAG where they will

be safer from winter weather.
