Global intertidal zones are threatened by oceanic climate change and associated sea-level rise, ocean warming, and increasing coastal storm frequency and severity. These ecosystems support an abundance of species and contribute to coastal economies through aquaculture. Sea-level rise can cause an overall reduction in available intertidal habitat through coastal squeeze, while ocean warming and marine heat waves threaten temperature-sensitive species. Coastal storms drive cliff erosion and mobilize sediment and nutrients into the intertidal zone, altering flow pathways. This research is at the preliminary stage and explores the interactions among hydrologic and oceanic forcing, thermal regimes, and sediment movement within intertidal waters in Covehead Bay, Prince Edward Island. Conductivity-temperature-depth sensors were deployed within the bay to assess its thermal and hydrodynamic regime. Additionally, frequency-domain electromagnetic geophysical surveys and drone flights will be conducted in different seasons to map salinity and temperature distribution in the bay. This research will yield new understanding of the current hydrodynamic, salinity, and thermal conditions in threatened embayments along Prince Edward Island’s North Shore during both typical and storm periods. This basis of knowledge can be used to better predict the impact of future stressors such as sea-level rise, storm surges, and marine heat waves on Prince Edward Island’s intertidal zones.
