Huge update!

There has been so much going on this past week and a half.  I met with Chris, one of  my capstone mentors and he told me and my partner what we will be doing for unit 3 of the program. Unit three is about student research of sandy beach and rocky intertidal zones of a beach. Students will be learning about the LIMPETS protocol for taking sandy beach and rocky intertidal surveys, why we do long term monitoring, and will take part in that practice at Carpenteria State beach. I have been working on my own set of surveys for my capstone in order to get data. I will be focusing on environmental attitudes. I hope students will be connected with nature after participating in Crossing the Channel. I went to Carpenteria State beach yesterday and here are some pictures of where the surveys will be taken. IMG_5916 IMG_5915 IMG_5914
