Our hypothesis was that if there is a change from freshwater to saltwater, then the tidal plant species in each area will differ. The data collected from our experiment helped support our hypothesis. In our findings we saw that in the freshwater location, there was a greater amount of biodiversity and the plants were generally larger. On the other hand, we saw that in the saltwater location, the banks had less biodiversity and consisted with only Phragmites. One explanation for this is for the fact that the abundance of freshwater in the freshwater location allowed for a large variety of large plants to live in this area. However, only a thin layer of freshwater on the surface of the water was present at the saltwater location, which minimized the diversity of plant life that could live in this area. This minimized the competition in this area, allowing it to be overrun by Phragmites plants. . Palmer et al., 2005, Standards for Ecologically Successful River Restoration. . Dylan Castle. Overview.

[8] Most if not all life forms play a vital role in the Peconic River, and because of the nature of how dragonflies develop and mature it is important to monitor this species. Dragonflies have a significant and positive role in maintaining ecological homeostasis.

During this project we evaluated the change in marine invertebrate biodiversity of the East River over time. We compared our results to a 2015 study of biodiversity conducted by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Our results indicate a decline in the species richness from 12.5 species in 2015 to 9 species in 2017 in the East River just south of the Williamsburg Bridge. This means that there is still a long way to go in restoring the NY Harbor to its former levels of biodiversity when native oysters were in abundance..
