Thoughts on My Presentation - Seaira

I have a little more water sampling to do this week in the lab so I can analyze all my data but I wanted to put up an abstract of what I will be covering in my presentation. I am looking for feedback, is there anything that I should cover that is not listed? All suggestions are welcome.

·         What is seagrass? How is it important to the Indian River Lagoon?

·         What is an algae bloom? How does it affect seagrass, and the lagoon ecosystem?

·         How are dissolved phosphates and nitrates incorporated into an estuary ecosystem? What are the effects when these nutrient levels are imbalanced?

·         How does turbidity and light attenuation in general affect seagrass communities?

·         How do saline levels in an estuary system affect plant growth?

·         What was the purpose of my water sampling, and how did I go about testing? How did I determine the locations of testing? Are there any organizations that do similar testing?

·         How did my sampling results compare to those of “optimum” water conditions, and those during times of severe algae blooms?

·         Blooms in recent years, and effect on the lagoon.

·         What you can do to get involved, and keep updated with current research regarding seagrass health.
