Project:

Biodiversity of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates Between a Pond With and Without a Fountain

Students:

Conner McVeigh, Spencer Lee

School:

Shoreham-Wading River High School, Suffolk

Mentors:

Dana Schaefer

Abstract:

A fountain has been installed in the high shcool campus pond, with possible negative or positive impacts to the aquatic macroinvertebrate population of the pond. Species will be collected and identified, and compared to previously collected data from former Barcode projects to determine outcome of the fountain's installation on the pond ecosystem.
