The birth of this project of an exploration in biodiversity began on an excursion to the Shinnecock Bay to collect samples of the organisms that happen to inhabit that region of Long Island. The question that was the birthing factor for the meticulous research done towards the development of this project was “Are the current residents of the Shinnecock bay biodiverse in their microecosystem?” From this, the objectives of the projects were based: Barcode the crab specimens collected in Shinnecock bay and compare them to previously barcoded crabs in the Shinnecock bay area to determine, approximately, an idea of the biodiversity of the region..
