Ryan Dail - Water Sampling/Project

Today I went scuba diving at Alexander Springs. I thought this would be a great opportunity to collect my water sample. I brought the bottles with me in my side pocket and started my swim to the springs. I collected my samples from directly above the springs and measured the temperature at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. I then put the samples on ice and started to write in my field notebook.

As far as my project goes, I don't think I will be needing any extra materials. My research topic I planned on (commercial fishing seasons and how they effect fish and fishermen) seemed interesting to me, but I chose a different one. How NOAA ( National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ) gains information by extracting ear bones from different fish species. I have a possible opportunity to experience this process first hand.
