Ho'okepa Maui Boat Ramp

I have discussed the relations between water quality and plankton population by showing that Ho'okepa is less clean then Maui Boat Ramp, which Ho'okepa has less plankton. The sources I used were a report by Boreal Environment Research and www.Wikipedia.com. This study is important because it shows us we need to clean up the waters, for it attracts less plankton. A few sources of error in this lab was the lack of sample areas. There were only a few samples taken from around the same time. Also there was no information on other things that could be affecting plankton population.

Here are a few picture we took at the Maui Boat Ramp when we took all our data down.

Here is the Boat Ramp it's self.





This is called a Turbitiy tube. We used this to check just how clear the water really is.






And this is what we used to put our samples in! YAY! RECYCLABLE BOTTLES! :D
