ANGARI Foundation was part of 2017’s Oceanography Camp for Girls in St. Petersburg, FL. Over the course of three days, campers took part in collecting scientific measurements at a number of Tampa Bay sites. Methods included water sampling with Niskin bottles, otter-trawl sampling, sediment grab sampling, plankton tows, secchi disk measurements, and nutrient analyses.
Thank you to the Florida Institute of Oceanography at the USF College of Marine Science for supporting this expedition by providing scientific gear and dockage for R/V ANGARI, and to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for providing the trawl net.
