Figure 2

Ambient nutrient concentrations at Buoy 0 sampled between 31 October–10 December 2011 (light grey bars) are compared against the nutrient concentrations in the sediment plume observed at the outlet of Piscadera Bay on 23 November 2011 (dark grey bars). Error bars represent s.d. of the mean (n = 30 for ambient nutrient concentrations and n = 6 for sediment plume). Differences between the ambient nutrient concentrations and those in the sediment plume were tested by the two-sample Student’s t-test (for equal variances) or the Welch’s t-test (for unequal variances).
