Water We Up To? The New Science of Washington's Aquatic Reserves

Austin Greene leads a team of scientists and technicians working to better understand ecosystems and species on eight Aquatic Reserves in Washington. New research methods developed by the team employ creative methods to monitor subtidal kelp and eelgrass, and other important marine and freshwater habitats. Methods being tested include using remote underwater video, a robotic surface vessel for mapping marine plants, autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS), and more. Austin will present preliminary results from 2024- 2025 field research.
