Brrr.....
We knew it was going to be a rough day of image collecting when the Lowcountry woke up to below freezing temperatures last Thursday. However, sometimes science calls for extreme data collection! Due to the wind and frigid temperature we couldn't hang out on the mudflat much longer than the thirty minutes we had already designated to our lowest tidal height locations. We will return for the last 10 images as soon as possible. As scientists, we all have stories of adventurous (or humorous) data collection, but besides a large barracuda (!) I met in Panama, my freezing hands on Thursday just might take the cake! Happy Collecting, Hannah LA.M.P.S. Coordinator Science Program Coordinator

Which of these is not commonly found in South Carolina estuaries? a) Spartina alterniflora (Saltmarsh cordgrass) b) Crassostrea virginica (Eastern oyster) c) Strombus gigas (Queen Conch) While the Queen conch can be found at latitudes as far north as ours, they typically inhabit lower latitudes and become a more common find in Florida and throughout the Caribbean and Gulf. Often, whelk species are confused in the Carolinas for a conch.
