UNF


Data collected one the St.Johns River
extensive dunes on Jacksonville's beach

Coquina Outcrops
The first day we went out on the boats and traveled 20 miles up the St.Johns river and recorded salinity, DO, temperature, and conductivity both at the surface and bottom of the water column at different sites on the river. The second day we were able to get a great look at the different types of beaches that we have here in Florida. Some had very large dunes natural dunes while others had man made dunes. Being able to see the coquina outcrops was a really fun experience being able to learn about how they were formed
and see them in person at the same time. The third and forth day we were at the GTM NEER for the 24hr diel study which was an amazing experience where we really got to work as a close knit group. All in all this week was a great learning experience about the different coastal environments in North East Florida.
