I am getting pretty excited about my project! I have a meeting with Mr. Chad Truxall at the Marine Discovery Center in New Smyrna on Monday. We are going to take a look at his facility and check out some possible locations for the artificial mangrove root system I am hoping to get my hands on!
I live quite close to the St. Johns River so this is where i chose to take my water sample and sediment samples. They were taken from the Lemon Bluff boat ramp in Osteen.

In this picture is the site where there was no vegetation. You may notice the green leaves and debris floating on the water. This was due to an air boat that approached the boat ramp while I was taking my sample. I noted this my field notebook , I think it may have resuspended some of the sediment off the river bed. The water depth at this site was about 14 inches.
