Wednesday's blog

Tuesday we put our training to use and collected data on Lindsay’s Reef on the East side of the island. Two of the teams ran the transect lines and made observations along a meter-wide path from one end of the line to the other. The other two teams tossed the PI frames onto different sections of the reef and counted organisms and aspects of the habitat at the intersections. My team tossed the PI frames and we looked for hard coral, soft coral, algae, sponges, rock, sand, and other. What do you think we found at most of our intersections? What ratios do you think we found? I will share the results with you when I return to school next week.
