Abstract:

Our project goal is to discover and classify specimens in Osprey Park. In order to reach this goal we need to use DNA Barcoding. Using DNA Barcoding would allow us to classify species from the park easier. It would also allow us to discover new species that we may have not known existed until now. We hope to learn more about to more about the species that live in the in osprey park such as the aquatic plants and algae that inhabit the area.
