Shelby Thomas UR- Plankton Identification Lab

White Mangrove 
Recently in lab we traveled to New Smyrna Marine Discovery Center to collect plankton and attempt to identify our finds under a microscope. I found it
interesting at how much living plankton could be in one drop of water. We were given the opportunity to try and figure out what species each plankton were. Along with discussing how it might have gotten there to the area and their importance.

Black Mangrove 
 We viewed the black mangrove islands where pelicans and white egrets nest. As well as learning to spot out the invasive species like the australian pine. We learned about the different types of mangroves Black, Red, and White.
