Biodiversity Data / October 2019 -

<p>The biofilm discs, some composed of Aluminum and some composed of Acrylic, were retieved from the Inner Harbor in Baltimore on October 3, 2019.  Approximately 8-9 macrscopic species were identified and documented.  There has been little rainfall in the last 2 months in Baltimore and this has helped clarify the water and increase the salinity.</p>
<p>Images that have been uploaded include Polychaete worms (limy tube worm and whip mud worm), Hydroid colonies, and a flatworm (Stylochus ellipticus).  More images will be added in the coming days along with data (% cover and wet weight) from participating schools in Maryland.</p>
