Hypothesis
(2 points)
Identify the independent and dependent variables in your investigations.
State your hypothesis.
Independent mangroves Dependent recover team
If you plant mangroves in the Northside the shores will repair faster then Southside
Procedure
At the north beach, your team will implement a project to replant three mangrove species and monitor their growth over five years. The growth of the replanted mangroves will be compared to the natural regrowth of mangroves in the south beach area. Mangrove growth in both beach areas will be monitored via satellite. You will record data for each location about the percentage of mangrove coverage, the number of species in the area, and the average mangrove height in order to assess the health of the beaches.
