Make a map for sediment PEL ratios at stations in Tampa Bay

Usage

show_sedimentpelmap(
  sedimentdata,
  yrrng = c(1993, 2022),
  bay_segment = c("HB", "OTB", "MTB", "LTB", "TCB", "MR", "BCB"),
  funding_proj = "TBEP",
  weight = 1.5
)

Arguments

sedimentdata

input sediment data.frame as returned by read_importsediment

yrrng

numeric vector indicating min, max years to include, use single year for one year of data

bay_segment

chr string for the bay segment, one to many of "HB", "OTB", "MTB", "LTB", "TCB", "MR", "BCB"

funding_proj

chr string for the funding project, one to many of "TBEP" (default), "TBEP-Special", "Apollo Beach", "Janicki Contract", "Rivers", "Tidal Streams"

weight

numeric for outline width of station points on the map

Value

A leaflet object

Details

The map shows average PEL ratios graded from A to F for benthic stations monitored in Tampa Bay. The PEL is a measure of how likely a contaminant is to have a toxic effect on invertebrates that inhabit the sediment. The PEL ratio is the contaminant concentration divided by the Potential Effects Levels (PEL) that applies to a contaminant, if available. Higher ratios and lower grades indicate sediment conditions that are likely unfavorable for invertebrates. The station average combines the PEL ratios across all contaminants measured at a station.
