After looking at the results I found it was not necessary to compare the diseased corals with the water quality at each bay because there was no significant difference in the water quality tests. We were unable to run tests on bacteria because the water had been frozen. The results of the ANOVA on the percent of diseased individuals at the different sites showed that there was no significant difference between them. However this does not measure if this is significant from years ago. Although there was no significance in the comparison of the sites; all of the sites had over 40% of their population diseased. I believe this is a problem in Bermuda and it's something that should be observed more directly and acted upon to help save not just the brain coral, but all of their coral.

            Some possible errors in the data thats could have occured might be recounting an individual or counting an individual as diseased or not diseased when it should have been the opposite. While finishing up the results I wished I could have had more time in Bermuda to study these organisms in more depth and not just count which ones are diseased, but what type of disease it was so in the future we could find a cause for all the diseases and hopefully prevent future diseases, especially if we are the ones causing the disease.
