Winter surveys complete
This weekend was very productive! I finished all six of my mainland sites for the winter season. Still surprised I managed to do all of that in one weekend but I am glad I did because this weekend I am going to Santa Cruz Island to survey a few more sites. Although you can hardly call it winter – all weekend it was sunny and beautiful out. Some of the sites had changed drastically due to recent winter swells; for example, Ventura State Beach by C-Street was missing so much sand and it had a significantly less amount of litter than it did during the fall surveys. I suspect the trash went out with all of the sand during the heavy surf. This week I also created a draft location map in ArcGIS for the locations I survey/remove marine debris.
I am really excited to get out to Santa Cruz Island. Dorothy, Robyn, and I are headed out to the west end of the island and we are camping at Christy’s Beach. I have never been to this side of the island before and I have been looking forward to going there for a very long time. More pictures and updates on the island trip to come next week.
Getting closer to the end
Well during this week I have been busy doing capstone stuff. Channel Islands High School had Monday off this week, so I had nothing to do that day. Then on Tuesday I talked about the Jenga game that we played last time and why we played it. Then there was a guest speaker Jessie Alstatt. Jessie talked about why it is important to do long term studies and about the rocky intertidal species.
Then on Wednesday I introduced the high school students to my online quiz on Kahoot.it. This test had 17 questions on it asking to identify different species that are in the rocky intertidal area. This first test was meant to be a baseline on how much they already knew about the different species that we will be looking at. Most of them did well and others not so well. This was the point of the quiz so it was fine. Then after I gave them the quiz I gave them a quick tutorial on the quiz-let that I am using that the LiMPETS people made to get people to do better then I gave them some time to go over the quiz-let. I was unable to go to the high school classes because I had a class that day that I was unable to miss, so Chris was there and got the students started on their hypothesis and background research. On Friday I was there and I helped Chris to prepare the students in both the Sandy Beach protocol and the Rocky Intertidal area. Chris helped the students with the Sandy Beach stuff and I worked on the Rocky intertidal zone.
Next week the plan is to give the students some more study time, give the kahoot.it quiz one more time, making sure that they know what to bring for the field trip to Carpentaria State Beach, then another guest speaker named Steven that will talk more about the Sandy Beach Protocol. He will do this because he has been doing some research about it and will give the students a lot of good insight about. Then we will be taking the students out to Carp where they will do the research.
Once they do the research they will be working on a presentation for a week and give it to Chris, Erika and myself.
