| The Outgoing Tides Path from Canal Street |
Bacteria is naturally found everywhere. Fecal coliforms are no exception. E. coli is more commonly found in warm blooded animals, and can live for smaller periods of time outside the gut track. A recent link to the Tomoka River's median expected water levels stated that 46.00 colonies of bacteria were found in the average water sample taken from the river.

My research will tell us what is found after a 24 hour incubation, in the Canal Street outlet, and the Tuscawilla park retention pond, which surrounds the Nova Road area. The map presented shows the an outgoing tide and path of tested water. Notice that there are several square miles of mangroves right where this area flows to. I'll be compiling data next week, and sharing info with E.Reyes as to Tuscawilla Park. It seems I will definitely be counting and identifying E. coli. Here are a couple examples of graphs that I may use, these numbers are just hypothetical, actual data should be sorted through next week.
