We had planned to take the 2nd set of data at Racerocks, but we are unable to go there today.
As a compromise, we have decided to take the results from the marina. Also we cannot see the organisms because of the water clarity. This has forced us to adapt our research question to "Why, and to what effect, does the different water composition and properties change from the Docks to the Marina?"
We will wait a while until the water clarity improves and allows us to count the organisms in the Docks in a limited area.
Hypothesis: The water at the Marina will have more CO2 content, less transparency, less oxygen content, and higher salinity.
Our theory is that there is more pollution at the Marina than at the Docks due to the boats and potential leakage there might be.
