Now check your ideas by using the scraper tool to measure algal biomass and estimate the standing crop for both the Bat Rocks and Cess pools assuming 30% algal coverage. In this case, you can calculate the standing crop per unit area (the tiles) because we are comparing two pools. You do not need to extrapolate to the entire pool. BAT ROCKS % Open Canopy 40% Area scraped: 0.978 m2 Algal biomass collected: 0.205 g Algal Standing Crop: Enter value. (g/m?) CESS % Open Canopy 15% Area scraped: 0.935 m2 Algal biomass collected: 0.196 g Algal Standing Crop: Enter value. (g/m2)

The Lazy River Environmental Group organized a major cleanup of the pollution from the old factory in late 2010. Measurements of pollution in river sediments before and after the cleanup were analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the cleanup. Select the Sediment Pollutant Over Time dataset and follow the interactive to graph the data. What statement best describes the results of the clean up?
1) Identify the air pollutant you have chosen. a) What is the chemical composition of that pollutant? b) Is this air pollutant a primary or secondary pollutant? 2) Describe what is the primary source/cause of this air pollutant. Where does this air pollutant typically occur, i.e. does it occur in a specific geographic area or part of the atmosphere, or is it widespread? 3) Describe what effects do (or potentially do) this air pollutant have on the environment? Distinguish between a) physical effects on the environment/ecosystems and b) effects on living organisms. 4) Describe (be specific for each) what is being done to control this pollutant from the standpoint of a) laws/provisions of the Clean Air Act (or other laws) b) actual efforts to control its emissions.
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: If you are to engage into aquaculture, how will you do it considering your current location and available resources. What species, level of management and culture system will you consider?
