Upon
returning from Bermuda, I decided to change my New England Project to
the diversity of plankton, as well. Nahant, MA and Rye, NH
were
used for collection sites. At Nahant, I collected two oceanic
samples and at Rye I collected one sample from the ocean and one from a
marsh. I hypothesized that there would be no significant
difference in diversity between the oceanic spots, and there would be
significant difference in the marsh. At all of the location I
found amphipods, which I had not expected to see and there was much
less zooplankton than what I had collected in Bermuda.
