| The Poster |
Today we worked on finalizing the presentation for tomorrow. I am so excited to finally present the findings from all the hard work we put in, but at the same time I'm so nervous to see who else Dr. Smith has invited. I really like how our poster turned out and I think the pictures and graphs chosen really represent the goals and outcomes of our project well. We were able to use one of the diagrams I drew myself which I think is pretty cool. We were unable to find a diagram online and unfortunately didn't think to take a picture until after the fact. As well, I think the map of the sites really helps to represent the scope of our project on more of a landscape scale. If you look close enough you are actually able to see the restored reefs along the coast which really helps add an almost aesthetic value to the restored reefs. As well, the graphs really help to show the results in a clear manner. There were so many organisms we identified (well over 2000!) that if we tried to describe every species collected we would run out of room. Instead the table given summarizes data and shows clearly the results- the restored site had a higher abundance than the non-restored site. However another graph shows that fiddler crab burrows in the non-restored site were more abundant in the quadrats past 5 meters from the shore, which could contradict our hypothesis of finding greater diversity and abundance in the restored site. Overall, I think the poster is a great representation of the project and really highlights the main aspects of the project.
