Amanda, UR, Wading anyone?

This is a sample site for me.
When I pulled up this picture in my phone the lat/long coordinates were actually off a bit, as I note below the following image.

I don't know if you can actually see the little green "x"s that I drew on the map around the water body to the far left; however, if you can, the "x" in the circle is where my phone pinpointed my location and the free standing "x" is where I actually took the photo above. You can actually access all of these lakes by trails or by kayak.
My phone put my lat/long at 29◦16’29.6”N 81◦04’15.0”W, which is actually still in my neighborhood and not at the site where I actually took the picture.

Thursday, February 19th I did go get my very cold water samples from Central Park closest to my house. I now have the lat/long coordinates that I was able to pull up from the computer as 29.273023 lat/ -81.072640 long.
My anticipation is mounting as I await our lab today to see what lurks beneath the surface of these waters.

  1. Nice map, Amanda! Good call on the cell-phone discrepancy. Today you will be analyzing for chlorophyll. I believe you will be sampling for nutrients for your IRP(?). Would you be able to show us where you will be taking your IRP samples? Just curious as to where they will be and why you chose those locations.
