Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Bait consisting of 3x3 cm pieces of dried squid and dried kelp (kombu) purchased at a local asian grocery store (HMart) were attached to wooden dowels via transparent fishing line. Dowels were inserted into the substrate  in the upper right hand corner of each quadrat so that squid and kelp bait rested on the substrate. Both were placed far enough from each other so as to not overlap. Bait was checked daily and status was noted - whether partially consumed or completely missing (i.e., consumed).

Abstract: 

The Plum Island Ecosystems (PIE) LTER is developing a predictive understanding of the response of a linked watershed-marsh-estuarine system in northeastern Massachusetts to rapid environmental change. Over the last 30 years, surface sea water temperatures in the adjacent Gulf of Maine have risen at 3 times the global average, rates of sea-level rise have accelerated, and precipitation has increased. Coupled with these changes in climate and sea level are substantial changes within the rapidly urbanizing watersheds that influence water, sediment, and nutrient delivery to the marsh and estuary. In PIE IV our focus is on: Dynamics of coastal ecosystems in a region of rapid climate change, sea-level rise, and human impacts.
