Welcome!

Students did post to this blog site while we conducted our field study. We invite your comments and thoughts.

Our field deployment focused on three chief tasks; 1. Mapping the reef floor in 3D, 2. Shoreline Marine Debris investigation, and 3. Environmental characteristics sampling. All went exceedingly well.

This was the second trip in our long term plans. Our first trip and proof of concept was completed with great success in the Fall of 2009; our next proposed trip will be Fall 2010. Don't you want to join us?

Belize 2 has been exciting.
We have been using new Global sampling protocol for the environmental sampling. Island and marine samples have been analyzed to dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, .and salinity. the teams have taken one vertical marine sample. It consisted of a surface sample and samples at 22 meters and 44 meters.
The water was so clear that the Secchi disk could be seen at the 44 meter level.
The weather has been a bit warm but perfect for collecting samples.
Dips into the ocean help keep us cool.
