Project adivce on macro-invertebrates
by Poseidon » July 21, 2010 - 7:46 am
Hey,
I'm spending a work placement in a greek marine base and I have to do a project. Anyone has an idea on what could be useful to study? For example I was thinking of watching the invertebrate aboundance on different kind of habitats.
Thanks!

What kind of research has already been done in your area? Have you seen evidence of the invasive weed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caulerpa_taxifolia in your area? How about a species count by habitat? Have you read http://marinebio.org/Research/Reference ... 1559636629? Lots of ideas in there for projects concerning marine conservation....

"Extending a sea ethic would mean recognizing the ocean’s importance to the continued existence of life on our planet and to human futures. From this recognition would flow an appropriate sense of moral imperative, commitment, and urgency—urgency toward ending overfishing and wasteful bycatch and aggressively rebuilding depleted ocean wildlife populations, stabilizing human effects on world climate, slowing habitat destruction, stemming global transport and accidental introduction of "alien" species, curbing the flow of contaminants and trash, developing sustainable seafood farming, cultivating an informed approach to the seafood marketplace, and implementing networks of protected areas in the sea." - Dr. Carl Safina

What we as volunteers do here is mainly littoral ecosystem monitoring (and coastal mapping) by snorkeling around costal waters. Here there are mostly rocky shore and sandy habitats and few seagrass beds. We use transects and quadrats for sampling.What I am thinking about is for what purpose should i collect data for?
