Project:

Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation is to see if pollution from airports affect the biodiversity of aquatic organisms. Organisms will be collected from the water from two marinas, one near an airport, and one not. When figuring out what type of organisms we collected, we assume that the marina that is near the airport will have less diversity, due to the many different types of pollution that can affect survival. This will help show the danger of pollution from airports.
