9 Audubon

Description

The Audubon site includes a shoreline survey from the Goggin Drain to the first major drainage of the Crystal Unit of Farmington Bay WMA, divided in two pieces by the old Antelope Island causeway. The southern portion (9a) was traveled by foot and included a randomly selected point sample. The northern portion (9b) was traveled by ATV and included a randomly selected point sample. The inland portion (9c) of the Audubon property includes several playas and a pond fed by canal water. An ephemeral pond called “Church Pond” was surveyed as an area count. Access is through Kennecott Inland Sea Shorebird Reserve and National Audubon Society private property.
