Abstract:

The goal of this experiment is to identify the different species collected. We will collect the species at West Neck Beach. We chose this location in order to identify species that live in water. To collect our samples, we will use nets and drag them through the water. This is the method we chose because it allows us to collect the species at random, which reduces bias. After the samples are collected, they need to be identified.
