Double Keyhole Spring is a unique coastal submarine spring with complex and dynamically changing hydrology and water chemistry. It periodically reverses direction of flow, with accompanying changes in water chemistry and microbial communities. Although these transient changes follow the tidal cycle, longer term seasonal changes have also been detected.
