ABSTRACT Amos, C.L.; Brylinsky, M.; Forbes, D.L.; Robertson, A.; Thompson, C.E.L., and Kassem, H., 2018. Stability of seabed sediments in the embayments of North Rustico, Prince Edward Island, Canada. This paper describes a series of 15 deployments of the annular benthic flume Sea Carousel made along the two estuaries of North Rustico, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada: The Hunter River estuary and the Wheatley River estuary. The study was part of a wider study on the environmental impact of coastal changes and aquaculture (Mytilus edulis) development in the region. The study site was situated on the dynamic north shore of PEI that is characterised by sandy barrier islands, inlets and beaches, and muddy lagoons. The lagoons are dominated by the seagrass Zostera marina in the muddy outer parts and by Ulva lactuca in the eutrophic inner parts. The thresholds for surface erosion of cohesive sediments (0.10 < τcrit,o < 0.75) derived from trends of suspended sediment concentration (C) increased with distance ...
