Sediment Exclusion Experiment

We visited our pilot sediment-exclusion plots in the Delaware River in November 2016.  The plots had been installed in May 2016, and we weren’t sure how well they’d stand up after 6 months.  We were also measuring surface elevation tables (SETs) installed at several locations at the field site.

The sediment exclusion plots look good after 6 months.
