Data was gathered south of geomorphic cross-section 10 (map coming soon). Our total count was 38 individuals as of Nov. 2014.

Just returned from Santa Rosa Island for the last time this semester with the weekend proving to be productive and eye-opening in a variety of ways! We completed 6 more transects in Quemada- five along the banks and one within the riparian zone. We also took GPS points of all Willow Trees (an indicator species) […]
Back from the Island! Last weekend’s trip was the most productive yet with all ten transects now complete. Our trip on Nov. 8th will be the last trip to SRI until we visit in January. Now that we have our basic data gathered, we can begin asking further questions and exploring answers.
