This report describes work performed under an Interagency Service Agreement (ISA) (ISAEQE22309702ENV15A) by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM), for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from 2015-2016.
CZM was contracted to collect data on vegetation and macroinvertebrates at twenty salt marsh sites in the DEP Surface Water Monitoring Program’s Northeast Basin Group in 2015—specifically, the Parker and Ipswich basins. Work was extended to 2016 due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., one key staff member on maternity leave, and another with a knee injury preventing fieldwork). All data were collected following a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) previously approved by DEP and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Sampling Design CZM staff selected sites using a stratified random design in coordination with DEP staff. Index of Ecological Integrity (IEI) values from the Conservation Assessment and Prioritization System (CAPS) were averaged for salt marshes within each sub-watershed of the target basins. A random point generator was used to identify over 100 points within the sub-watersheds with the lowest average IEI scores (< 0.5), and 25 points (> 0.8) within those with the highest average IEI values. The random point generator was specified with a 500-meter buffer to allow for geographic variability. Points were manually assessed to ensure that they meet the following sampling criteria, with the goal of identifying 15 sites within the “low IEI” sub-watersheds, and 5 sites within the “high IEI” sub-watersheds (Figure 1).
Sampling Criteria The point is within 200 meters of a salt marsh creek (each sampling point will be moved not more than 200 m to the nearest tidal creek suitable for sampling); The creek is suitable for auger and D-Net macroinvertebrate sampling (e.g., channel width is at least 2 m, bank height is at least 1 m, and bank height and/or condition does not compromise safety); The point is not deemed inaccessible due to physical barriers; The point is not deemed inaccessible due to legal barriers (i.e., permission to access private property is granted).
Permitting CZM sought and received permission to access and sample vegetation and macroinvertebrates on properties owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR), Essex County Greenbelt Association, and private commercial or residential landowners (e.g., Perley’s Marina, Rowley). Special Use Permits were required by TTOR and USFWS.
Data Collection and Processing Data were collected following the protocols described in the current standard operating procedures document (SOP), Appendix A of the salt marsh assessment QAPP approved by DEP and EPA. The SOP also includes information on the processing of macroinvertebrate specimens, including sorting, identification, and QA/QC testing.

Figure 1. Salt marsh site level assessment sites in the North Coastal Basin—specifically the Parker and Ipswich River sub-basins—selected by stratified random sampling design. Fifteen sites were randomly selected within the sub- watersheds with the lowest average IEI scores (< 0.5) for salt marshes. Five sites were randomly selected within the sub-watersheds with the highest average IEI scores > (0.8).
Data were entered into spreadsheets with the same formatting used to report CAPS site-level assessment data to UMass for inclusion in the CAPS project database for development of Indices of Biological Integrity (IBIs). Two spreadsheets are included: caps_saltmarsh_vegetation_2015-2016.xlsx and caps_saltmarsh_macroinvertebrates_2015-2016.xlsx. The vegetation spreadsheet includes worksheets containing information on sampling methods, plot records (GPS locations, dates and times of sampling, etc.), vegetation data, nomenclature changes, collector codes, and a database dictionary / metadata record. The macroinvertebrate spreadsheet includes sample records, macroinvertebrate data, collector codes, an updated bench form (master list of taxa recorded since CAPS project inception), and a database dictionary / metadata record.
Results Summary
Twenty-four vascular plant taxa were recorded along 60 salt marsh transects (three per site), and 65 macroinvertebrate taxa were recorded in 40 dip net samples, 40 auger samples, and 40 quadrat observations (two samples of each type per site).

VEGETATION Summary of Method: A single bayonet (vertical projection) is used to record species at fixed intervals along each transect. Walk along the transect opposite the side used to lie the transect to avoid trampling samples. Set the transect interval by dividing the transect length by 10; this will produce 11 point intercept locations along each transect. As stated in section 8.1, the minimum and maximum vegetation transect lengths will be 30 m and 50 m, respectively. Tally each plant species intercepted by the bayonet from marsh surface to canopy at each fixed interval along the transect. Record the transect length and interval along with species occurrence on the Vegetation Form (QAPP, Appendix C). Note, GPS point locations taken at the 0 m along each transect are in geographic coordinates (decimal degrees), WGS 84.
