Data collection day 1/22

Picture
We had a successful day of data collection yesterday at our mudflat site on James Island! The tide was low enough to reach all of our sites!  In fact, you might have noticed how low the tide was too! 

Working "in the field" is often fun, and yesterday was no exception!  When asked to describe how working outside was, here is what our field assistants said:

"chilly, sunny"
"Squishy fun!"
"muddy, windy"


We also learned some things about our procedure while taking pictures and removing Gracilaria from our removal plots, the most important: bring scissors!  Scissors will help us remove more Gracilaria from the tubeworms with the least disturbance to the worm- it will also be a time saver!

That's all for now! Happy Science-ing!
