4 Nearshore Vegetation Diverse algae and seagrasses 3-D structure Important food source to local and distant ecosystems
5 Long-term Shift toward soft sediment species Short-term Turbidity Scour Burial Expected Changes
6 Floating Kelp Monitoring Methods (Since 1989) Near-vertical aerial photography collected from small plane during a late summer low tide (7500 MSL) with Nikon D200 digital 35mm DSLR camera. Hand delineated onto 1:12K basemaps
7 Floating Kelp Canopy Area Changes Following Elwha Dam Removal -53% ( ) Crescent Bay -54% Tongue Pt Observatory Pt -42% Freshwater Bay -74% Angeles Point Elwha Bluffs -100% Ediz Hook +14% Dungeness Bluffs -7% Dungeness Spit -42% Canopy Area (ha) % -42% -74% -100% +14% -7% -42%
8 Underwater Transects Surveyed in 2010*, 2012 & 2013 from shallow to -15 m * Thanks to Clallam County (Cathy Lear) and MRC (Jim Norris) for 2010 imagery.
9 Underwater Video Classification Vegetation Types All macrovegetation All kelp Stipitate kelp Prostrate kelp Floating kelp Non-kelp red/brown algae Green algae Seagrass Cover classes Really Low <15% Low 15-33% Medium 33-66% High 66-85% Really High >85% Mapping Unit ~ 1 m 2
10 Directly east of the Elwha River mouth, -8 m (MLLW).
11 Major Decrease in Area with Vegetation Present, % ** 1000 All Vegetation Red/brown (non-kelp) Kelp - all Kelp - prostrate Kelp - stipitate Seagrass Area (ha) % ** -73%** -54%* Weighted Linear regression * p < 0.2 ** p < 0.05
12 Strong Gradient
13 Dive surveys Identify and count plants in 30 m x 1 m swaths Transect endpoint markers on seafloor: End pyramid Center post Two transects per site Seasonal window: Late July-early September Surveys conducted annually at 17 sites: 1 site: sites: sites: sites: 2009 (GPS only, no endpoint markers),
14 All kelp Density before dam removal
15 All kelp Percent change in density after dam removal Before Before-2012 Before-2013
16 Kelp species Density before dam removal and in 2012 and 2013 Density (number per square meter) Before Species
17 Kelp species Density before dam removal and in 2012 and 2013 Density (number per square meter) Before Nereocystis luetkeana (bull kelp) Species
18 Kelp species Density before dam removal and in 2012 and 2013 Density (number per square meter) Before Cymathere triplicata Species
19 Kelp species Density before dam removal and in 2012 and 2013 Density (number per square meter) Before Agarum fimbriatum Pterygophora californica Species
20 Other seaweeds Also decreased after dam removal Acid kelp (Desmarestia spp): Red algae (Rhodophyta): Kelp + acid kelp + red algae = total vegetation
21 Unseasonal recruitment Juveniles appeared in late August 2013 Not present August 16 Present August 30
22 Unseasonal recruitment Species that typically recruit in spring: Alariamarginata Cymathere triplicata Desmarestia bushy Desmarestia flat-bladded Laminaria ephemera Nereocystis luetkeana Present at three sites:
23 Not permanent burial Physical drivers Not buried Buried 2012: 15 sites 2013: 11 sites 2012: 0 sites 2013: 4 sites
24 Not permanent burial Physical drivers Aug 2011 to May 2012 May 2012 to Aug 2012 Aug 2012 to Mar 2013 Mar 201 to Sep 2013 Gelfenbaum et al. in prep.
25 Physical drivers Ephemeral deposition Scour ( sandblasting ) Light reduction Photos from Jonathon Warrick
26 Chance to learn How does sedimentation affect kelp and other seaweeds?
