About 2011

During the 2010/2011 school year, two sophmore students in Ms. Orbuch's class at San Lorenzo Valley High School began sampling phytoplankton at the Santa Cruz Harbor. See description of the project here. Russell Hofvendahl and Devon Northcott are collecting phytoplankton samples from the fuel dock at the Santa Cruz Harbor every other week, and contributing their data to this blog.
