Project:

Benthic Invertebrate Diversity

Students:

Kyle Nelson, Sean Moran, Christopher Hueber

School:

West Islip High School, Suffolk

Mentors:

Mary Kroll

Abstract:

After recent flooding, the EPA found increased cadmium in the soil near our school. Our experiment will investigate if the diversity of benthic invertebrates in the Great South Bay at a site south of the contaminated area will differ from a control site a few miles away.
