Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

During bouts of strong upwelling nearshore areas in northern California can experience extended periods of hypoxic, corrosive waters due to a relatively narrow shelf and poleward shoaling of isother ms. To assess the response of intertidal communities to these conditions we established and surveyed a series of intertidal sites in Humboldt County that vary in the extent of nearshore mixing and are likely to vary in exposure to hypoxia and low pH conditions. We report the results of initial surveys of our sites, including data on sea star wasting disease, and relationships to variation in temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen.
