Assessment of Indicator Bacteria within the Surface Biofilm of Sugar Kelp (Saccharina Latissima) Along a Seaward Gradient in from the Mouth of the Saco River

Project Description This project aims to determine the relationship between fecal indicator bacteria present in seawater and those found on the surface biofilm of kelp. During the 2016 and 2017 summer seasons, five experimental sugar kelp stations were established, running along east-west and north-south transects moving away from the mouth of the Saco River. Stations … Continue reading Assessment of Indicator Bacteria within the Surface Biofilm of Sugar Kelp (Saccharina Latissima) Along a Seaward Gradient in from the Mouth of the Saco River
