Description:Urban estuaries are often heavily impacted by human land use in the watershed. When comparing an urban estuary to a protected natural system, students may observe differences in water quality (temperature, pH, turbidity, salinity, dissolved oxygen) that affect the plants and animals that live there. In this unit, students compare and contrast an urban estuary in Coos County known as "Pony Slough" with characteristics of the nearby protected South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve. They will learn how to measure water quality parameters and explore how they vary based on factors including tidal stage, season, and land use.
