Increased sediment load during a large-scale dam removal changes nearshore subtidal communities.

Increased sediment load during a large-scale dam removal changes nearshore subtidal communities.

The coastal marine ecosystem near the Elwha River was altered by a massive sediment influx-over 10 million tonnes-during the staged three-year removal of two hydropower dams. We used time series of bathymetry, substrate grain size, remotely sensed turbidity, scuba dive surveys, and towed video obser...
