Getting the Ball Rolling

This weekend(9/27/15) was a good start to collecting data. With the help of some friends I accurately surveyed four out of the five of my survey sites. I have already surveyed these points but have honed in on my techniques with greater accuracy and ease. In addition to surveying, I also took a shore line track. Since the start of school I can visually see sections of the sand start to disappear. In general, the waves this weekend were small. Needless to say, there were still some fun waves to be caught. Some thoughts for improvement on my researching would be to buy more sunscreen and bring a big umbrella(the sun was strong this weekend). I also found it to be easier to make a straight line with the transect tape by walking backwards holding the compass. Overall successful weekend of collecting data. I would like to thank Andrew Shimizu and Lauren Zahn for coming out and helping me survey. Great success!
