Z7 iv FEELD SAMIPLING AND LOGISITCS This document provides a detailed description of the sampling sites in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico for the NOAA National Status and Trends (NS&T) Mussel Watch Program for Year X (Period 3, Phase 1). This report contains site descriptions, detailed maps and charts for all the sites that were visited, and successfully sampled during the tenth year (1995) of the program. Locations (Nominal Site Centers) provided are the most recent available for a specific site, and are based on chart data and Global Positioning System (GPS) co-ordinates. GPS positions have been obtained for all of the sampling sites. SamphngfflsWry In 1986, GERG undertook the first NS&T Mussel Watch site sampling in the Gulf of Mexico. GERG's efficiency in field sampling is attested to by the fact that during the course of the past ten years of the project, the Gulf Coast field collection effort increased from an initial 50 sites in Year I to 120 sites by Year X. The field days which were required to complete the sampling decreased from 48 days in Year I to 26 days in Year IV, despite the 40% increase in sampling effort along the Gulf Coast. The subsequent sampling years have all showed similar efficiencies. A total of 32 days were spent in the field, sampling the 51 Year IX sites, of which eleven days were travel days. In Year X (1995), another 33 sites were added to the existing 28 NS&T sites in Texas. These extra sites were sampled in conjunction with a Texas Department of Natural Resources project - Hydrocarbon Natural Resource Inventory Studies in Texas Bays and Estuaries. A total of 61 sites were visited along the Texas coastline, and 50 of them were successfully sampled for both sediments and bivalves. Four of the existing 28 NS&T sites in Texas were devoid of any live oysters. The entire Gulf Coast was sampled in 43 days, with 90 sites being visited and 77 of them successfully sampled. ' In addition to this increase in the field sampling effort encompassing the Gulf Coast, GERG now samples all three coasts and Alaska. A total of 57 sites were visited on the East Coast over a period of 55 days, 55 of the sites being successfully sampled. All of the West Coast sites were successfully sampled within the allocated project time frame. In the interest sampling experience and 1 local knowledge, GERG teamed up with Applied Marine Sciences to assist in the collection of some of the West Coast sites on the contiguous United States. The Alaskan sites, including nine new sites, were collected by GERG and Kinnetic Laboratories Inc. The sites from which we have collected oysters in the Gulf of Mexico have not been limited to the coastal embayments, but have included a number of sites which face the open Gulf and can only be reached by long boat transits. Stretching from Port Isabel in the lower Laguna Madre of Texas to Bahia Honda Key in Florida, the study area encompassed over 1500 straight line coastal miles. The actual distance to be traversed is appreciably longer, since access to many remote areas within the embayments is by circuitous route. A single field crew sampling half of the Gulf sites would travel over 8000 miles during a field season. This limited access to the shoreline combined with the very shallow waters of most of the bays (63% of all maintenance dredging in the continental U.S. is done in the Gulf of Mexico) has supported our original contention that the Gulf of Mexico sites are the most difficult U.S. coastal sites to sample.. Bivalve Study Areas East Coast The coastal environments which uniquely typify the West and Gulf Coast sites are both found on the East Coast where the oyster and mussel sites are located. Fortunately the extremes in sampling environments, which are the norm for the West and Gulf Coast sites, are rare or totally absent on the East Coast. The very high energy environments combined with a significant to extreme tidal range which dominate West Coast sampling strategies, are very limited in geography and are of a lesser degree on the East Coast. Likewise, sites which are tens of miles from the nearest launch site and requiring navigation through difficult and exposed passages are not characteristic of the East Coast sites. Sites,-are typically nearshore, close to boat launching facilities, and for the most part are in protected waters. Many of the East Coast bivalve sites are accessible from the shore, but are not difficult to reach as are the sites off the California headlands. Two species of target bivalves are collected on the East Coast. Mytilus edulis are ubiquitous to the northeast and are collected from Maine down to 2 Delaware Bay. Crassostrea virginica is found in the warmer waters to the south and is collected from the Delaware Bay south to Biscayne Bay. Both species are present within the different environments in the Delaware Bay area. Thus slightly different sampling techniques are required along the course of the East Coast sampling. The presence of oysters on approximately half of the East Coast sites does afford the opportunity to offer the more sophisticated field processing of bivalves as we have done on the Gulf of Mexico sites. Gulf of Me3dco Distributional patterns of molluscan assemblages are dependent on water depth, substrate type, turbidity, salinity, and wave energy. Parker (1960) defined molluscan assemblages along the Gulf coast based on salinity and substrate type. The important inshore, estuarine, and lagunal assemblages are as follows: I . River Influenced, Low-Salinity Assemblage - The largest and most abundant bivalves in this assemblage are: Rangia cuneata - Common in beds all along the Gulf coast, large; Rangia flexuosa - Less abundant than R. cuneata; Polymesoda carolinensis, - Missing from Mobile, Alabama, east and Matagorda Bay, west and south and Macoma mitchelli - common in most low salinity lagoons and estuaries; small. This assemblage is characteristic of soft-bottom areas surrounding river mouths, where the salinity is usually less than 10ppt. Typically, the numerically dominant mollusk in this zone is Rangia cuneata. Rangia cuneata, flexuosa, and Polymesado ca"rolinensis have life spans of several years whereas Macoma mitchelli is an annual species. Of the longer-lived species, Rangia cuneata is also the biomas s dominant in this assemblage. I I. Delta - Front Distributary and Interdisciplinary Assemblage - The largest and most dominant bivalves in these assemblages are: Rangia cuneata - not as abundant as in river influence assemblage; Rannain flaTunva - mor@ abundant in interdistributary bays: ATafloma mImUff! T rars: 3 Crassostrea virginica - very abundant in higher salinity interdistributary bays; and Petricolar pholadiformis - common, but small. III. Low Salinity Oyster Assemblage - The largest and most dominant bivalves in this assemblage are: Crassostrea virginica - predominates in this zone; and Brachidontes recurvus - at times very abundant. Oyster reefs are abundant where salinities range from 10-30ppt. Most oyster reefs are found in relatively shallow waters. Typically, large reefal structures are formed at right angles to the dominant current flow. These reefs are easily located and are a major geologic feature in most of the bays along the Gulf Coast that were included in this study. Crassostrea virginica is the biomass dominant as well as the most numerically-abundant large bivalve in the assemblage. The mytilid Brachidontes recurvus is usually found associated with oyster reefs. However, it is not as abundant nor as large, and it has no previous baseline established in the Mussel Watch programs. Furthermore, it rarely occurs in other assemblages where C. virginica is an important component. IV. High Salinity Oyster Assemblage- - The largest and most abundant bivalves in this assemblage are: Anomia simplex - common, but small; Brachidontes exustus - common, attached to oyster valves; small; Diplothyra smithii - rare; and Ostrea equestris - abundant, long lived species. High salinity reefs form near inlets where relatively high salinity water (34- 36ppt) is constantly renewed by tides. The substrate is old shell. Ostrea equestris is generally abundant and replaces C. virginica when salinities rise above 30ppt. Over the long-term, drought cycles frequently result in the replacement of C. virginica with 0. equestris (and vice versa in wet years) along most of the Gulf coast (Parker, 1960). Thus, this assemblage is effectively identical to the Low Salinity Oyster Assemblage except where salinity causes the replacement of species with other closely related species. In this assemblage, 0. equestris typically is the biomass dominant. 4 V. Hypersaline Lagoon Assemblage - The largest and most abundant bivalves in this assemblage are: Mulinia lateralis - abundant but small; Tellina tampaensis - moderately abundant; and Anomalocardia auberiana - very abundant. Hypersaline lagoons and estuaries are common along the lower Texas coast and have salinities ranging from 40-80ppt. The species in this assemblage are very. abundant but are short-lived and small. The numerical dominant in this zone is Anomalocardia auberiana. In the previous EPA Mussel Watch Program, genera from the family Mytilidae (the mussels) were used as the organisms of choice for portions of the geographic range of the mussel watch program. Along the Gulf coast, however, mussels that do occur (i.e., the genera Brachidontes, Lioberus, Lithophaga, Modiolus, Geukensia, and others) are often too small and frequently not abundant or widespread enough to be considered as target organisms. Previous baseline organisms along the Gulf Coast for the EPA Mussel Watch Program were all species in the family Ostreidae (viz. Crassostrea virginica and Ostrea equestris). These two species are frequently biomass dominants, abundant and easily resampled from their respective habitats. The American oyster, C. virginica, occurs in intertidal and sub-tidal habitats all along the Gulf coast (Scott and Lawrence, 1982). C. virginica is sufficiently widespread so that it has been able to be collected at the majority of the designated sites. C. virginica typically inhabits coastal and lagunal environments with salinity levels normally varying between 20-30ppt although populations at both lower and high salinities are known. Moreover, as shown above, it is one"'single species common to nearly all the Gulf Coast and is usually biomass dominant where it occurs. The oyster reefs produced by C. virginica, which make up the bulk of the sites selected for this portion of the NOAA Mussel Watch Program, Are permanent and for the most part large features which are easily located for sampling and resampling. In addition, living oysters usually are abundant on these features and are recruited yearly to the reefs; thus, these areas will be able to sustain repeated sampling over a ten year plus period with minimum impact on the population structure of the reef. Clearly, due to the previous baseline established for this species, its abundance, large size, and 5 ubiquitous occurrence along the Gulf coast, C. virginica is the target organism of choice. Although C. virginica has a particularly wide salinity tolerance, a few areas that have been designated as sites are outside its range. In areas of low salinity which do not support C. virginica, Rangia cuneata is the dominant bivalve. R. cuneata is relatively large and abundant. It is the characteristic organism of the low salinity assemblage and it occurs in most low salinity habitats along the Gulf Coast. R. cuneata is usually found in abundance at the sediment-water interface on soft bottoms. We have attempted to find C. virginica in the high salinity bays in the lower Laguna Madre between Corpus Christi and Port Isabel with limited success. 0. equestris, an ecological equivalent, usually replaces C. virginica in these areas. 0. equestris is usually associated with hard bottoms or mangrove roots and is abundant and large. It has an established baseline for comparison because it previously was used in the EPA Mussel Watch program. In addition, it belongs to the same mollusk family (Oestreidae) as C. virginica. In most habitats which usually do not support C. virginica, 0. equestris can be collected and is the organism of choice. In hypersaline lagoons (i.e., Baffin Bay, Texas) where C. virginica and 0. equestris are absent, Anomalocarida auberiana could be sampled. This species is small, yet it is very abundant, reaching population levels of -2000 per M2 in some instances. Because of the concerns about species effects, none of the alternate species at the sites which do not support C. virginica have been collected to date. West Coast Of the three coasts being sampled in NOAA's Status and Trends Program (i.e., the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific), the greatest extremes in topographies and habitat types are encountered along the Pacific Coast. For the sake of distinguishing between different types of habitats along the West Coast, the following broad categories are identified in Ricketts et al. (1968): (1) Open Coast, (II) Protected Outer Coast, and (III) Protected Bays and Estuaries. Although it is recognized that intergradations between these shoreline types have been encountered, this classification scheme can be used to provide a general overview of shore types that will be encountered in Period 3 of the National Status 6 and Trends Mussel Watch Program. Brief descriptions and representative examples for each of the coastline types are presented below. I . "Open Coast" - These areas are comprised of shorelines that are entirely unprotected and subject to direct impact by wind and wave action. Such a shore is generally convex in shape, varying from distinct headlands to relatively modest bulges in the coastline. Fairly deep water is also usually present close offshore. Examples of areas that can be classified with these criteria along the central California Coast include Pismo Beach, the Point Sur and Point Lobos outer rocks, and the outer reefs of Cypress Point and Point Pinos. Most of the coast of northern California and Oregon can also be included in this category. I I. "Protected Outer Coast" - This classification would also include stretches of open coast, but in locations where the direct impact of the surf is somewhat reduced (e.g., semi-sheltered coastlines and open bays). Protection for such areas may come from a variety of natural barriers such as headlands or close-lying islands, offshore reefs of submerged rock, long and gradually- sloping stretches of nearshore rock and/or sand, offshore kelp beds, or simple refraction of waves around headlands or rocks. Examples of this type of coastline along California can be found in Santa Barbara, much of Monterey Bay, Half Moon Bay, Bodega Bay, and Point Arena. III. "Protected Bays and Estuaries" - These areas are comprised of enclosed bays, sounds or estuaries that experience the least wave shock of the three types of coastal topographies identified. In the relative absence of wave shock, exposure of substrates in these areas will be primarily a function of the rise and fall of tides. Coastlines in this category will generally have a distinctly concave shape, and will include protected areas with relatively small and often indirect openings to the outer coast. Examples of this type of shoreline include San Diego, Newport, Morro, San Francisco, Tomales, and Coos Bays, areas in Puget Sound, and all of the inside waters in southeastern, Alaska. 7 Field Iogistics (East, Gulf & West) The collection of the bivalve and sediment samples on the East and Gulf Coasts was conducted by GERG, utilizing small boats and two field crews. A field collection crew consisted of two people, in a van or a pick-up, using a trailered outboard boat whenever necessary. AMS personnel worked in a similar way along the West Coast. Table 1 summarizes the site accessibility and collection methods. Samples were collected, packed on blue ice, and shipped back to our labs in College Station by Federal Express for processing the next day. The histopathological samples were sent directly to the Haskins Shellfish Research Laboratory in New Jersey. This ensures that the samples were processed in less then 24 hours after they had been collected. Samples from Alaska were shipped in a similar fashion as perishable items, and were received at the analytical laboratories in less than 48 hours. Iogisfic Considerations There are a number of important factors that have to be taken into consideration when planning the field logistics of the project. Of primary importance, is that each of the sites has an optimum sampling date, eg. PBPI - 3/29, with an acceptable three week window on either side of this date (3/8 - 4/19). The field collection trips are then organized around these operating windows on each of the three coasts. On the East Coast, the optimum sampling dates span a period from 11/27 through to 3/31 - a total of 125 days. The span on the Gulf Coast is from 12/4 through to 2/14 - a total of 72 days and the West Coast sampling date span is from 11/29 through to 3/27 - a total of 121 days. The three coast are also very different from one another from a logistical point of view. "An example of this is easily illoustrated when one looks at one aspect of the logistics - access to the site. When collecting only bivalves at all of the sites (Year X - 1994/95 field season), the East Coast sites are split 50/50 between those that 4're'vehicle/walk-up sites and those that are only accessible by boat. The Gulf Coast is split 10/90 and the West Coast is 70/30. When one looks at this with an even more critical eye, one notes that seven of the eleven sites in Alaska involve either a boat or seaplane ride of over more than 30 miles of open water to get to the remote site. 8 Table 1.

Tide ranges of 6 to 16 feet also need to be considered. 0 Coastal Surf Conditions---This is a major safety consideration. Even with extreme minus tides, large swell or waves can still inundate a site and make access to the sampling location impossible. * Weather (Major Storm Systems and Local Conditions) --- Major storm systems can completely halt sampling operations, especially for sediment and bivalve sites on the open coast. Local conditions such as morning fog and strong afternoon winds have to be considered when planning boat operations. The possibility of road closures due to high winds, snow and ice also have to be considered. * Boat Launch Facilities --- The location and accessibility of boat launch facilities need to be considered in boat operation schedules. 0 Dry Ice Availability --- Dry ice is not available in some areas, and the field teams will need to bring sufficient amounts of dry ice with them. 0 Private Property Access --- Sufficient time will be needed to acquire any necessary permission and/or permits to gain access to private or government property. * Day Light Access --- This will need to be considered when planning sampling activities for bivalve sites located at the base of cliffs (safety considerations), on private property, or on bridges or pilings (safety considerations again). * Transportation to Remote Island Sites --- Sufficient time will be required to make flight arrangements and to receive permission to collect on island sites. Due to the primitive landing conditions at many of the island sampling sites, daylight access will be necessary. 0 Notification of Fish and Game --- The proper state collecting permits will be required, along with checking in with the appropriate agencies prior to collecting. 15 East Coast Winter weather conditions have perhaps the greatest adverse influence on the field sampling for the East Coast, at least for the northeast sites. While the sites themselves are comparatively easy to sample, in contrast to the Gulf and West Coasts, the increased tidal ranges and the cold winter conditions and a very real potential for ice blockage in the protected waters of the northeast present some logistical and scheduling concerns which have to be taken into account in scheduling the field collections. The availability of accessible boat ramps in the northeast is a problem during the winter months, as they are not well maintained (as during the peak tourist summer months) and quickly become covered by sand moved in by the winter storms. An additional problem is that the ramps are often inaccessible to boats at or near low tide (as they are left high and dry by the receeding waters), which is when one wishes to launch the vessel for the optimum sampling time for many of the intertidal sites. The average distance between the sites also increases on the Atlantic coastline, especially from North Carolina through to Florida. These sites are typically the same as those found in the Gulf, but with an increased tidal range that has to be scheduled around. Gulf Coast Major logistical concerns in sampling the Gulf of Mexico oyster sites primarily involved access to the variety of sampling sites (and collection gear) and to a lesser degree permitting/politics. In the Caribbean, logistical concerns were much more complex since all collection gear had to be carried aboard airplanes and permitting and regional politics played a much larger role. In the Gulf of Mexico, one major problem concerned accessibility to the oyster sites.-- Some samples were little trouble to obtain, such as from rock rubble beneath a highway bridge in Galveston, but some were difficult, such as ones that required a 35 mile drive from the nearest motel to the launch, a 15 mile boat ride through Louisiana marshes, and 10 miles alongshore in the open Gulf to a site that had to be sampled by dredging. Not only was this situation difficult, but the site was situated within a private lease which extended to all oyster bottoms in the 16 bay system. It was owned by a family who initially met us at the boat launch and who were adamantly against our sampling from their lease. The site was located on what may be the most prolific oyster beds in Louisiana (and, therefore, on the entire Gulf coast), and was exposed to outflow from the entire Atchafalaya drainage basin. Along the Gulf coastline, a relatively small, fast and seaworthy boat was needed that had a draft shallow enough to traverse the shallows en route to the site and to get on the reef for sampling. Proper equipment and navigational gear was also needed to safely cross the Mississippi Delta area, where landforms and bayous in and around the delta showed essentially no conformity to the most recent NOAA navigational charts, as was verified by our direct experience in the field and from very recent aerial photographs. The other sampling extremes were typified by sites such as Cockroach Bay, which is only accessible with a very shallow draft boat and which required a two mile ride through an uncharted mangrove swamp and across oyster bars, over which the boat has to be dragged even on a flood tide. On the other hand, sites such as Dry Bar in Apalachicola (where dredges were absolutely forbidden) required about a 7 mile run across the open bay in the Boston whaler to a site so shallow that it was collected by hand while wading. The distance between the Gulf sites measured 1500 nautical miles when the straight line distances between nearest sites were totalled. However, a single boat crew completing half the sites over the range from Laguna Madre to Naples drove over 8000 miles in a sampling season because of the limited and circuitous routes to launching ramps and sites. In the Caribbean, transportation on land and on the water had to be arranged locally at each of the collection sites. There were few commercial or recreational boat rental sources; therefore, local fishermen had to be located at each collection site for which boats were needed. Local fishermen were sometimes hesitant to take scientists to their oyster harvesting areas since they believed th at there could be some interference with their livelihood. West Coast Within the pr eceding classification scheme for coastline types, a number of environmental factors will play important roles in determining not only characteristic features of local topographies but also resident assemblages of 17 fauna and flora. Such factors will include (1) tidal ranges and cycles, (2) direction and magnitude of winds, and (3) degree of wave exposure or shock. Substantial variations in tidal ranges can be encountered along the West Coast. For example, extremes in tidal heights at different locations can range from as low as <8 feet in Bahia San Quintin (Baja California) to >37 feet in Anchorage, Alaska. The West Coast site are also dominated by diurnal tidal cycles (both on a site per day basis aa well as on the periodicity of the lower low tide). Prevailing winds along the West Coast are generally northwesterly to westerly, with the obvious potential for extremely long fetches. Combinations of high winds, long fetches, and high tidal excursion ranges can produce conditions of extremely large surf and high degrees of wave shock in open coastal areas. In addition to effects that such conditions pose for natural physical and biological processes at particular locations, these conditions could have a very important bearing on sampling activities and time schedules for West Coast field surveys for the Period 3 Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program. Permits Collection of bivalves in all the affected states is regulated by the various state agencies, and in some cases by the U.S. National Parks Service. A scientific collecting permit was required prior to collection. In some instances, it was necessary to apply for two different permits to sample one site. FBJB - Florida Bay Joe Bay is located within the Everglades National Park, and requires both a Florida State and a National Parks Service Permit.

These vessels provided the greatest versatility and utility in the sampling. Each boat was equipped with dual 12-gallon fuel tanks (giving a range of - 100 miles), a VHF radio, Raytheon 398 GPS, Raytheon 298 Loran C, a fathometer, and emergency/safety equipment. A handheld GPS receiver was used on the boats as a back-up system. The boats were trailered to a launch ramp near the sampling site, using either a pick-up or a large van. Due to the remote location of several sites, run times of over an hour were often required to get from the launch ramp to the sampling sites. Navigational Equipment Reoccupying established bivalve and sediment sites and establishing new ones requires the use of a combination of narrative description and electronic aids to navigation. As in our previous work with the Gulf of Mexico sites, we continued to use the Global Positioning System (GPS) as our primary navigational system. GPS provides a marked improvement in positioning capability over Loran C, and is just as economical to use. The system has an absolute accuracy way beyond that of the Loran C system, and is also considered to be far more reliable at the present time. Each of the boats is equipped with a GPS and a Loran C back-up navigational system. Hand-held GPS units were used to record all of the Latitude/Longitude positions of the walk-up sites. They were also carried as a back-up unit on the boats. We have continued to provide and rely on pictures and narrative descriptions to differentiate the three stations within a site. It is hoped that in the near future we will be able to implement and use Differential GPS, that will enable us to accurately record the position of each station to within a 5 meter correction. Communications Both vessels were equipped with VHF marine radios. This allowed one to coordinate sampling activities between the boats when they worked simultaneously in close proximity, and kept one in contact with the Coast Guard and other vessels operating in the area if emergencies or difficulties arose. It also provides coastal weather conditions which are broadcasted continuously on the 25 VHF weather frequencies. A small waterproof handheld VHF radio was provided to each of the boat crews as an emergency backup system. Each of the field crews were also equipped with a mobile phone, which could be used in either the vehicle or on the boat. This gave the crews the ability to have immediate voice contact and cut down on the number delays in the field. Questions concerning a particular site could be quickly resolved in the field by contacting the COTR. Safety Considerations Both boats were equipped with Coast Guard required safety and emergency equipment (life jackets, throw cushion, flares/signal pistol, lights, reserve fuel, first aid kit, etc.). GERG conducts extensive field activities, over 100 man months on oceanographic and environmental cruises per year, including over 50 weeks on chartered boats that are fully equipped and rigged out; thus, we were well aware of the applicable safety considerations and the consequences of failure to prepare for these contingencies on a field such as the NS&T Mussel Watch Program. Sample Collection Site Documentation The locations of the bivalve and sediment sampling sites are accurately determined and documented, so that samples collected in subsequent sampling years will originate from the same background area. It is equally important to accurately determine the center of each sediment site (if not coincident with the bivalve site), so that valid comparisons can be made spatially among sites and temporally within each site. Therefore, each site is described on a Field Data Log with the following information: Site name and designating code, date, time, latitude, longitude, description of the site and access to the site, bivalve and sediment sampling technique, weather conditions, sea state and the collector's name and signature (see Table 3). A field data log is completed each time the site is visited, and the site description updated as necessary. The location of the site is also plotted on a NOS chart. Color photographs were taken, so as to ensure that the same area is sampled on the subsequent visits. Aerial photographs of the East 26 Table 3. Field Sampling Log Sheet. 7h. [email protected]:.

Bivalve Identification There are three major species of bivalves that are collected on the NS&T Mussel Watch Project, Crassostrea virginica - the Eastern Oyster, Mytilus edulis - the Blue Mussel and Mytilus californianus - the California Mussel. There is a debate as to whether or not Mytilus edulis is actually found on the U.S. west coast, or if the two species Mytilus trossulus, occurring in Northern California, Oregon and Washington, and Mytilus galloprovincialis, occurring in Southern California, are what was previously called Mytilus edulis. For the duration of this project, the west coast bivalve that is sampled and analyzed will continue to be called Mytilus edulis, until the academic issue is resolved by the relevant research scientists. The acceptable size range for mussels has been established at 5 - 8 cm, and 7 - 10 cm for oysters. None of these three species occur in the warmer waters of the Florida Keys, so an alternate bivalve species Chama sinuosa - the Smooth-edge Jewel Box of the family Chamidae, was collected for analysis. Bivalve Collections Mytilus edulis is the species that is collected from Maine down to Delaware Bay, and on the West Coast. Mytilus californianus is the other and alternate West Coast species, primarily collected in California on the exposed headlands and outer coastal locations. Crassostrea virginica is collected from Delaware Bay south to the Lower Laguna Madre in Texas, with the exception of the site in the Florida Keys where Chama sinuosa is collected. The bivalves were collected by hand, with stainless steel tongs, or by using a stainless steel dredge (see Table 1). Collection by hand was the method of choice and was used at intertidal and shallow subtidal sites. Loose bivalves were simply picked from the reef/substrate and were separated from any attached debris or other bivalves by using an oyster knife or a small chipping hammer. In the case of mussels where they are attached by byssel threads, a sharp knife or pair of scissors was used. At the deeper subtidal sites, the bivalves were collected using a stainless steel dredge. The clumps of bivalves and shell were then separated into 28 individuals as before. In some areas, where the use of a dredge is prohibited by a state restriction(e.g. in Florida, Apalachicola Bay), the subtidal sites are sampled using tongs. The bivalves were then separated from one another with an oyster knife or chipping hammer. The stainless steel tongs are also carried as a backup, in case the dredge is lost for one reason or another. Sediment Collections Where water depth permitted, sediments were collected by hand using a small Teflon-coated scoop. Prior to each use the scoop was washed with soap and water, then cleaned and rinsed with methanol and methylene chloride, to remove any trace of residual organics. The spent solvent was collected and returned to GERG for proper disposal. The upper 1 cm layer of sediment was removed using the scoop, and placed in a combusted I-pint glass container. In water depths where direct sampling was not possible, a stainless steel Young modified Van Veen sediment grab on a rope was used to bring a sample of the substrate on board the boat. The Teflon-coated scoop was then used to remove the top 1 cm layer subsample for analysis. The sediment grab was cleaned in a similar manner to the Teflon scoop prior to each use. All the sampling equipment and techniques have been used and perfected on the NS&T Mussel Watch Program over the last ten years. Field Processing Sanity and Temperature At each station at every site, the temperature of the surface water was recorded. Salinity was measured at the site with a temperature compensating refractometer, or a sample was collected and returned to the laboratory where salinities from a number of sites were measured at constant temperature with a calibrated refract'ometer. Bivalve Processing Bivalve processing was essentially completed at the site, whether on the boat or on the shore in the case of shore-accessed sites. As the samples were 29 collected, they were seperated and labeled according to station and site. Efforts were made to retain organisms in the same size range for sampling, so that organisms pooled for the site analysis were of similar age or maturity. This also applied to the replicate samples that were collected from the sites. The processing protocols for bivalves are shown in Figure 1, and are as follows. Cleaning and Sorting - The bivalves were scrubbed free of mud and debris while still at the collection site. Pure bristle brushes and water from the collecting site were used for the cleaning process. The bivalves were then sorted and counted so as to ensure that an adequate number of suitable specimens (35 - 50 specimens per station, depending on the sample size) had been collected for the analytical process. Obviously, if the bivalves were extremely small, a greater number were collected to ensure an adequate sample size. The bivalves were not opened in the field. Field Sampling - Twenty bivalves were collected from each station at each site for Hydrocarbon Analysis. These bivalvess were triple wrapped in combusted aluminum foil, then double bagged in labelled Ziplock bags. Similarly, ten bivalvess were collected for a Trace Metal Analysis, and these were doubled bagged in labelled Ziplocks. Five bivalves were collected at each station at each site for a Histopathological Study. These were also placed in their own labelled double Ziplock bags. Each seperate sample from each of the three stations per site received its own labelled sample bag, ensuring that there was no mixing of the samples. Storage and Shipping - All the samples were stored on ice in ice chests aboard the boat, until the day's sampling was completed. At that time, they were transferred to the shipping coolers / Freez-Safe insulated containers, which were packed with frozen blue ice / dry ice for shipping. The samples were then driven to the nearest- Federal Express office for next-day delivery to the relevant analytical laboratory. Occasionally, the samples returned to the GERG laboratory with the returning field crew or use was made of a light aircraft to speed up the process. Trace Organic Processing - The bivalves were washed again and collectively measured for an initial displacement volume. The tissue from twenty bivalves, from each of the 3 stations at each site, were excised from the shell and placed into a pint mason jar which had been combusted in a muffle furnace to completely remove trace organics. The tare and gross weight of the jar and contents (20 bivalves) were recorded on t he lab form, along with the individual 30 Field Sample Processing Protocol Bivalve Sites 3 Stations Per Site 45 BI alves; per Station 30 for for Hydrocarbon Gonadal Index Analyses 10'for Histopathology Trace Metals Scrub & Rinse Exterior shells I Scrub & Rinse Scrub & Rinse Triple V"Rp in Combusted Exterior shells Exterior shells Aluminum foil I I I I Ziplock Bag 1 Ziplock Bag 1 Ziplock Bag Per Station Per Station Per Station Label Outside Label Outside Label Outside Double Bag Double Bag Double Bag 0 Keftep ICE 91 Figure 1.

A Teflon liner was placed under the jar seal, and the labeled sample jars (one for each of three stations in a site) were frozen in laboratory deep freezers. Trace Metal Processing - Ten seperate bivalves from each of three stations within a site were washed again, then set aside in plastic trays for metal analyses. Because of their sharp edges and the need to ensure that they remained closed prior to processing, the bivalves had to be individually wrapped in singlefold paper towel and bound with rubber bands before they were double bagged in plastic trash bags, labeled and stored in the freezers. All opening and further processing of the bivalves (measurement of shell length and a displacement volume) was done at the analytical laboratories under clean room conditions. Histopathological and Reproductive Study - Five bivalves from each of three sampling stations at every site were processed for a histopathological and gonadal development study. After the initial displacement volume of the washed sample was determined, along with their axial length, they were arranged on a stainless steel tray. Each bivalver was then opened with a solvent-washed stainless steel oyster knife, and the sample was fixed with Davidson's Fixative and tagged with a discrete ID number. A Meat Condition Index was completed on each individual sample, to rate the overall metabolic reserves and general condition of the individual. With the oyster samples, a cross section of the tissue was examined to determine the incidence of the oyster parasite Perkinsus marinus, that causes the deadly Dermo disease. Another complete cross section of gonadal tissue was excised from each specimen, embedded in paraffin wax and sectioned again. These sections were stained and then'read'. Sedfinent Processing Sediment processing was essentially completed at the site, whether on the boat or on.the.shore in the case of shore-accessed sites. The processing protocols for sediment samples are shown in Figure 2. Trace Organics and Trace Metals - The separate samples for organics and trace metals, contained in a pre-combusted half pint glass jar and a heavy duty pint zip-lock bag, respectively, were labeled and assigned a unique identifier code. They were shipped to GERG and stored in the freezers until analyzed. 32 Field Sample Processing Protocols Sediment Sites 3 Sediment Grabs Per Station Remove Upper I cm' Trace (ma-talls I Organics Grain@ Size Center Scoop Inner Scoop Outside Scoop 35 gm 70 gm 70 gm I 1 Subsample 1 Subsample I Subsample From Each From Each From Each Box Core BOX Core BOX core 1 Ziplock Bag 1 Jar Per 1 Ziplock Bag Per Station Station Per Station 100 gm Total 200 gm Label Outsidj Label Outside Label Outside Double Bag Teflon Lid Double Bag Liner FREEZE AMBIENT Figure 2.

As with the previous samples they were labeled with collection and site information and given a discrete identifier code. Sediment Ancillary Measurement - Sediment ancillary measurements were run on aliquots of the samples taken for organic analyses; thus, no additional sampling or processing was required in the field. Sample Handling and Chain-of-Custody Sample collection was under the supervision of the field party chief who recorded the data and checked off the samples that were acquired against a prepared station list. Samples and copies of the data sheets were shipped to the laboratory manager at GERG. The lab manager supervised the processing of samples in the lab, the labelling, and the storing. The manager also prepared an inventory list of samples that were collected and were to be transferred. All samples and records were transferred to the Quality Control Manager who checked the samples against the prepared station list and stored the samples for subsequent disbursement to the different analytical groups and final storage. Field Sampling Criteria Definition of Stations and Sites A site, the smallest geographic unit sampled, was selected to be representative of a target area, general location, or bay system. Once selected, the site was sampled at the same location each year. Within each site, three independent stations were sampled in order to characterize the site. Offshore subtidal sites were -400 m radius circles. Latitude and longitude of the site was measured at the center of the circle. Shoreline intertidal sites were defined as 100 meter linear areas along the tidal horizon to either side of the site center. Sediment sites were, therefore, generally coincident with the bivalve sites. However, when the sediment at a subtidal bivalve sites did not meet the sampling criteria, separate sediment sites were then selected. If at all possible, these sites were located within 2 kilometers of and exposed to the same water mass as the 34 bivalve site. The sequence of events in the selection of new site is shown in Figure Eighty-five (85) sites were established in the Gulf of Mexico and three (3) sites in the Caribbean during the first nine (9) years of the NS&T Mussel Watch Program. For the first six years of the study three stations at each site were sampled and each station was characterized by three replicate composite samples taken for sediment analysis and a composite bivalve sample made up of 20 oysters. The composite bivalve sample was made up of 7 to 8 oysters from each of the three stations. Selection of the three sampling stations was based on the historical locations as described for each individual site in this report. Bivalve Site Selection Criteria The bivalve sites were initially established, and are now sampled according to the following criteria: � The site shall have indigenous bivalves of a suitable size (7-10 cm for C. virginica or C. rhizophore) which are available for collection annually. Other species to be collected may be specified by the COTR. � The site shall integrate contaminant accumulation from nearby or surrounding areas and shall be outside the zone of initial dilution of a dumpsite or point-source discharge. � The site should have sufficient bivalves, such that repeated annual harvesting will not seriously deplete the resource. Approximately 100 bivalves, of the larger species, would be collected requiring trace metal and organic analysis. Smaller species will need a correspondingly larger sample collection. � The site should be suitable for follow-up sampling (e.g., not anticipated to be be physic-ally disrupted by development activities or dredging). � Sampling substrates will be limited to rock (including rip-rap and jetties), and sand or mud (or mangrove roots in the case of C. rhizophorae). Artificial structure such as pilings, and navigation aids will be avoided if possible in -order to avoid potential point source contamination. 0 Provided other criteria are met and where feasible, the bivalve sites should coincide with historical monitoring sites (e.g., USEPA Mussel Watch monitoring sites). 35 Bivalve Sampling Si Contact the COTR, Sediment YES NO then select alternate sampling from bivalve sampling site within bivalve site or don't perform collection YES NO Select alternate sediment Obtain Go to sampling site within 40(kn sediment o next station radius of bivalve she samples or site NO YES NO Collect best available sediment within 2km radius of bivalve site Figure 3. Decision criteria for sediment sites. 36 This year's field sampling effort has reoccupied as many of the historical sites as possible. It occasionally becomes necessary to relocate or abandon a few of the established oyster sites, due to one or more of the following circumstances: * Bivalve populations were no longer present. * A construction project or dredging activity precluded sampling. 0 Collection of bivalves was logistically impossible or would endanger the field personnel. * Permission to sample a site or gain access to a site was denied by a landowner or a leaseholder. When another location was chosen for sampling, a determination was made by the COTR as to whether the new location was considered a minor "relocation" of the site or whether the new site was significantly different and should have been considered a newly established site. Newly established sites were assigned a new site name and unique site codes. Sites minimally relocated could retain the same name or could be renamed if the new name better signified the relocated site. The site code reflects the site's name and location, eg: GBFR - Galveston Bay Frenchy's Reef. Sediment Site Selection Criteria In most cases sediment sampling coincides closely to the bivalve stations. Because of the affinity of the target species for and the ubiquitous distribution of depositional zones in Gulf of Mexico estuaries, coincident sediment and bivalve sampling was generally not difficult. The specific criteria for sediment sites were: � The site shall be subtidal (never exposed at lowest tides), low energy depositional area, as evidenced by yielding surficial sediments that contain at least 20% fine grained material (5 64 microns) on a dry weight basis. � The site shall be exposed to the same water mass as the corresponding bivalve site, � The site should be located as near as possible to, and preferably not more than 2 kilometers, from the bivalve site, 37 * The site shall integrate contaminants from multiple sources in the surrounding area but shall not reflect inputs from an individual point source of contamination. 0 Previously sampled or historical Mussel Watch locations (e.g., U.S. EPA sites) should be included/reoccupied where possible. Field personnel were responsible for determining the suitability of the sediment sample. Only sites which were minimally (40 percent) fine sediment (silt and clay) were sampled for sediments. Samples that did not meet this grain- size criteria were not analyzed for the trace elements and trace organics. Therefore, grain size determinations were made prior to the chemical analysis in the laboratory. If acceptable sediments can not be located within the established sediment site, then the COTR would be contacted and the possibility of the relocation of the site discussed. Sampling Summary Sampling Problems It has been our intent to sample the locations prescribed by NOAA during Years I through X of the program. However, in the field we have found that at a few sites, many factors worked against this both in the initial first year sampling and then again in the subsequent years when we returned to resample the same sites or new sites. Some of the prescribed locations could not be used because when we examined them in the field, they did not meet the most basic site selection criteria. For example, Tiger Pass in the Mississippi River (MRTP) was a dead reef and an alternate site at another location was substituted - Malheureux Point in Lake Borgne (LBMP). A similar substitution was made for the Turtle Bay in Barataria Bay (BBTB). Minor shifts in sampling sites have been required between sampling years to accommodate yearly fluctuations in the abundance and availability of oyster populations at chosen sites. When these minor changes were required, we attempted to maintain the sampling stations as near the original location as possible. Vvhenever this situation arises, the COTR is contacted by the field crew to authorize the necessary changes in location. We expect this practice to continue over the course of the study as we anticipate recurring problems such as 38 dredge material burying the entire reef, eg. Ingleside Cove in Corpus Christi Bay (CCIC) and the ShipChannel site in Galveston Bay (GBSC), our inability to relocate our sampling stations on the very small submerged reefs in the absence of navigational references or aids in close proximity, eg. Pass a Loutre on the Mississippi River (MRPL), the near total depletion of public oyster beds by harvesting, disease, and predators, eg. Oyster Bayou in Atchafalaya Bay (ABOB), and the depletion of available oysters attributable to sampling for this study, eg. Hillsborough Bay in Tampa Bay (TBHB). Thus, in some instances, it has not been possible to return to the precise site locations sampled in the previous year. Ensuring continued sampling at the same stations for all sites will require the relocation of some of the prescribed sites perhaps some distance from the original selected location. The sediment sites were to coincide with bivalve sampling sites, inasmuch as fine grained depositional sediments may be co-located with the oyster reefs. The primary determining factor in sediment sampling was that the sediment contain less than 80% sand or coarser fraction. While we have been unable to devise a method which would confirm this compliance in the field, every effort was made to obtain sediments of as fine a texture as we could subjectively determine. In most cases, this was not a problem, as sediments adjacent to the reef were indeed of fine texture. However, in some cases, it was difficult to find the necessary sediments. These sites, as well as others, were characterized by broad expanses of sand and carbonate sediments. Fine grained silts and muds were either completely absent or confined to dredged canals used for recreational boating quite distant from the bivalve collection site. Thus, sediments from some areas will not meet the requirement for being more than 20% silt and clay, or they will be so far removed from the bivalve site that they will not represent the integrated contaminant accumulations to which the bivalves have been exposed. A few sites have been dropped from the sediment sampling list as there are no suitable sediments to be found in the immediate surrounding area. In Year X (1995), there was no scheduled sediment sampling for the entire program, other t han that for the new sites in Alaska. However, 50 sets of sediment samples were collected in Texas as part of the TDNR inventory study, which was sampled in conjunction with the NS&T Mussel Watch Project. 139 Sampling Summary Relatively few sites were devoid of any bivalves, to a degree that an adequate number could not be collected to satisfy the sampling regimen. Only six NS&T Mussel Watch sites were "dead", and alternate sites were sampled in their place. The sites were Hog Point in Chesapeake Bay (CBHG), Swan Point in the Potomac River (PRSP), the Ship Channel in Galveston Bay (GBSC), Harbor Island in Aransas Pass (ABHI), Ingleside Cove in Corpus Christi Bay (CCIC), and Arroyo Colorado in the Laguna Madre (LMAC). An additional six TDNR sites in Texas were also devoid of any live bivalves, there are as follows : (TBTR), (CBBS), (CBAR), (EMMR), (CCEF) and (CCSP). A small number of sites were also moved a short distance, so as to sample in the same water body but in an area that had a more stable bivalve population. The Joe Bay site in Florida Bay (FBJB) was dead due to excessive freshwater run- off. There had been recent flooding in Central Florida, and the water percolates down through the Everglades and into Florida Bay. The site was moved some 400 meters to the south, into Trout Cove, where there was a healthy population of oysters. This "new" site was considered to be within the same body of water. Two other sites were also moved short distances. The Block Island site (BIBI) was located on the northern breakwater exiting Great Salt Pond on Block Island. There had been a severe winter storm prior to the sampling, and no live mussels were found on the northern breakwater. There were a few live mussels remaining on the southern breakwater, so the site was moved some 100 meters after consultation with the COTR. The Point La Jolla La Jolla (LJLJ) site was moved as the site was located in a small cove that was subjected to the full force of the Pacific Ocean swells/waves. The new nominal site center is about 0.25 miles west of the original site, towards the La Jolla Point. Over the years there have been a number of name changes to the NS&T Mussel Watch sites, for one reason or another - incorrectly named to begin with, new nameafter the site was moved, etc. Postil Point in Choctawahatchee Bay (CBPP) was originally called Shirk Point Choctawahatchee Bay (CBSP). Shirk Point is actually on the other side of Boggy Bayou from Postil Point (Boggy Point), where the site is located. Two sites had their names changed this year, as they were originally incorrectly named. New Orleans in Lake Borgne (LBNO) is located just off the Gulf Outlet next to Lake Borgne. The new name of the site is Gulf Outlet Lake Borgne (LBGO). The other site is Gulf Outlet in Lake 40 Pontchartrain, located just off the New Orleans waterfront in Lake Pontchartrain. The new name for this site is New Orleans Lake Pontchartrain (LPNO). The NS&T site at Oyster Bayou in Atchafalaya Bay was closed to the public and commercial oystering by the Louisiana Department of Fish & Wildlife, and the Health Department. There had been excessive freshwater run-off through the area and the oysters were considered to be a health hazard with potential fecal botulism. The sites were all photographed to accurately record their locations, and the photos are included with the site descriptions. A few sites were unfortunately missed due to one of a number of factors, eg. insufficient light, extremely poor weather conditions and a number of camera malfunctions. The photographs for these sites will hopefulyl be taken next year. The aerial photography was completed on two of the three coasts. Both the East and Gulf Coasts now have aerial photos that enable the viewer to have a better idea of the site local, conditions, etc. A few of the sites are still without these photographs, mainly due to very low cloud cover. However, one site could now be photographed as it is located just off a U.S. Air Force live bombing range that was in use while the photography was being undertaken - Neuse River Pamlica Sound (PSNR). It is hoped that the West Coast aerial photography will be completed during the 1995 - 1996 NS&T field season. 41 References Lawrence, D.R. and G.I.
