Today we learned how to calculate the population of species in an area.
We dragged nets through the bay and put all the fish and organisms we found into a bucket of ocean water. We counted each species we found and labeled it on a chart.
Taking more samples over time gives you a better idea of how the area is doing.
Now we know what kinds of fish are in abundance, and which ones aren't thriving.
These are some Portuguese Man-O-War Jelly fish - their sting can be deadly.
This creature is called a Sea Hare - It's a slug looking thing that eats Sea Lettuce (like a rabbit) hence the name. It has two tentacles sticking out the top of his head and his end is narrow.
