Divers needed to conduct scientific survey!!!
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 2:25 pm
Hello everyone!
My name is TJ Yockachonis and you may remember my post a few months ago giving information about an octopus survey I was doing to local Puget Sound divers. The survey was online and did not get many responses, so my fellow students and I have decided to conduct the survey in person at various dive sights. This is for the best because it will also allow us to get out and interact with experienced divers in person, which is always more interesting!
We are trying to find dates and sites (or create them) where there will be several divers diving in a day or weekend. All we are doing is collecting counts on Pacific Red Octopus sightings at different diving locations. We are going to see if the little red octos are seen more in conjunction with heavily littered areas.
If anyone knows a popular date/site in the next few weeks, we can come out in person to and get some data on octopus sightings!
Or, if there are a large group of people who want to organize a dive for this mission, please send me a private message and I will get back to you very quickly!
Thanks!!!
