So close I can taste it

Feb 26, 2014

So close I can taste itI am so close to my goal I can taste victory. Here are a few more great photos of species I have found. I hope that I can get the last $100 or so to get over my goal. Thank you all for supporting me and wishing me well on my masters thesis proposal this Friday! I can't wait to get back in the field and learn more about visitor knowledge of marine protection and the biodiversity at my sites.

How can we better protect the biodiversity of the rocky intertidal zones?

San Diego State University

We are looking at what affects the biodiversity of rocky intertidal sites (tide pools) in San Diego, CA. How does visitor awareness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) correlate to species biodiversity in the tide pools? If increased visitor awareness equals greater biodiversity, this will provide substantial justification for increased community outreach efforts, improved visitor education, better signage and more enforcement at MPA tide pools.
