This sampling and analysis plan (SAP) presents project information and sampling and analytical methodologies that will be employed to conduct intertidal sediment sampling in 2020 for King County’s Marine Monitoring Program.
The primary goal of the intertidal sediment monitoring program is to collect data of known quality in order to effectively characterize sediments at King County public beaches. The 16 stations located within Central Puget Sound began a five-year sampling regime in 20101. This sampling frequency will allow King County and other decision-makers to evaluate temporal changes in sediment quality.
