Salinity data collected from near-bottom HOBO logger placed in oyster beds in the Delaware Bay Apr 2021 to Nov 2021 (SEGO project)

Abstract

Salinity data was collected at three stations (Hope Creek, Cohansey, and New Beds) in the Delaware River from May to November, 2021 as part of the Selection along Estuarine Gradients in Oysters (SEGO) project. Data loggers were suspended near-bottom and swapped out monthly to provide a timeseries of near-bottom salinity at the three stations. Dr. Daphne Munroe led the collection of this data on the research cruise conducted by Rutgers University on the R/V Bivalve. This dataset was curated by graduate student Archi Howlader who used it to validate empirical model predictions of salinity at these stations.
