Field survey
Overview
To understand long-term changes in macrobenthic community after the 2011 tsunami disturbance, we will conduct the survey of macrobenthos in Onagawa Bay and Gamo Lagoon. In addition, continuous observation of water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and water depth will be conduct using logger set at inner part of Gamo Lagoon.
