summer is quickly approaching, so today was spent taking action for the next step in the project.
using cement board, garden stakes, and fastening screws, we fashioned together some sediment panels which will be deployed at 10 different points of interest around coffin bay tomorrow.
panels were cut to a (roughly) uniform size of about 18cm x 18cm, drilled, and screwed into place on the garden stakes, which will get hammered into the sandy bottom.
these rudimentary panels will provide insight into how much native oyster recruitment is occurring in various areas, once we recover the panels in a few months time.
