Intertidal wetlands - Fieldwork

Biodiversity survey

Using a dip-net, a plastic container and an identification chart you can undertake a biodiversity survey. In the container on the left there was a squid, fish and various types of whelk that needed to be identified using the ID chart.

If you would like to take part in an organised program, you may like to have a look at Seagrass-Watch. The organisation is the largest sea grass monitoring program in the world and monitor sea grass in over 165 locations. 

Their website provides an overview of sampling methods and students can examine data from the other sites from around the world.
