We reached the finish line

The end 

Throughout out the semester we learned the importance of restoration ecology and got to see and participate in projects relating to the restoration at GTMNERR.
The overall experience taught me a lot, I had never done a project like this or having to put a poster together. My group's project focused on fish assemblages and water quality comparison of a restored site with a non restored site.
I am glad I learned as much as I did and I hope in the future to participate in restoration projects. The importance of restoring habitats is huge, everyday we lose more habitat to human activity and  natural disasters and it is important to understand our impact and act to prevent permanent damage.
I want to thank the GTMNERR and the UNF Coastal Biology department for the assistance and use of of their resources. I am very exited that our posters will be shown at the 2014 GTMNERR State of the Reserve and that I will be able to spend some more time with the people I met and have built friendships with in this class.
