PPT-Shinnecock Bay Crabs

and Biodiversity Abstract 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. 7 Ea st i ly Sm oo St cM St St Hw t ua Hw Wi nn lie tt Hi ck lb ss aw rr a ch dt rt Ross Smi th Av Henr y Wr igley Dr McMillans Rd McMillans Rd Va nderlin Dr Tr ower Rd Buchanan Tc Str eet Legend 1 W aters St 2 Chapman Rd 3 Rossiter St 4 Pandanus St :. .

Genetic variation is vital to every ecosystem and species because it makes them stable and prosperous.

This project aims to study the biodiversity between sand-dwelling invertebrates between the North and South Shores of Long Island. On the North Shore, some documented species of crabs include the Asian Shore Crab and the Green Crab. This are both invasive species that has built up a strong population in rocky terrains. The North Shore Crab is a hermit crab with a South Shore that is native to Long Island. . . Authors: Cassandra Shore, Haley Minnear, Liam McGevna, Thomas Cassar.

Short-term response to energetic wind events was found in the hydrography and water velocity observations, sometimes inverting the estuarine circulation or developing one-layered flow. In comparison to previous investigations in Alfacs Bay, we observed that water current variability, and also maximum velocities, were directly related to the development of surface standing waves (i.e. seiches in Fig.3).
