Fieldwork on Florida Bay Islands
Detailed Description
A USGS researcher conducts fieldwork on Buttonwood Key, an island in Florida Bay, to determine the impacts of Hurricane Irma. The storm left thick deposits of mud on the island, which are being measured, sampled and photographed. Many of the islands in Florida Bay have open mudflats in the center, surrounded by mangroves on the perimeter.
