USFWS biologist Bill Bridgeland taking measurements on a Surface Elevation Table (SET) installed last year in cooperation with USGS. SETs will allow us to detect changes in the elevation of the marsh surface in response to the marsh restoration as well as long-term changes associated with sea-level rise.
