Summary

Particle-size data collected of the upper 25 cm of substrate was collected at 12 sites in October 2018 and May 2019 at Olsen's Beach in Lake Ozette, Clallam County, Washington. At emergent stations, the top 25 cm of substrate was collected using a shovel and was transferred into a bucket. Bulk sediment samples were collected at submergent stations using a McNeil sampler inserted into the lakebed (McNeil and Ahnell, 1964) from which sediment was extracted by hand to a depth of 25 cm below the lakebed and residual water containing suspended sediment was sampled. Particle size distribution of sediment larger than 8 mm was sieved and weighed in the field and sediment less than 8 mm was sent to the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) [...]

Purpose

Data were obtained to determine changes in the substrate between October 2018 and May 2019 in three areas of Olsen's Beach: a site devoid of vegetation where spawning by sockeye salmon presently occurs (SC - spawning control), a site where vegetation has encroached the shoreline where spawning does not presently occur (VC - vegetation control), and a site where vegetation was removed and spawning does not presently occur (VT - vegetation treatment). These particle-size distribution data were used to support analyses of dissolved oxygen and groundwater/surface-water exchange between October 2018 and May 2019 in order to understand the effect of vegetation removal on the function of shoreline spawning habitat in Olsen's Beach.
