On Saturday Alan will take us wading in the shallows to observe the marine environment at seagrass and sandy sites on Raymond Island. Entitled \u201cMud, Sand, Algaes and Angiosperms\u201d, his briefing notes tell us that we will be \u201csampling sea grass fauna at various depths and positions in five groups and five sampling repeats looking mainly for micro fauna indications of summer and winter breeding programs\u201d.<\/p>\n
After a BYO lunch we will travel to a sandy area for: \u201cquadrant sampling of the shallow area sandy bottom fauna using wash through process. The aim is a density figure as well as identification and photographing\u201d.<\/p>\n
After a BYO afternoon tea: \u201cWe will meet together and review the day\u2019s work for a follow-up picture collection and \tdocumentation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The BD&FNC will provide the myriad of equipment that Alan has requested (kitchen sieves, microscopes, ice cube trays, card tables to name a few) but has asked participants to bring insect repellent, sunscreen, hat, drinking water, own personal note book and pencil, digital camera, hand lens, water gear such as bathers\/shorts (waders if you have them). However, not everyone has to go into the water as our hardier members will bring specimens back to shore for examination, identification and discussion. <\/p>\n
The arrangements are to meet at the Raymond Island Ferry Park at 10.00am on Saturday (the 9.45am ferry from Paynesville will get you there).<\/p>\n
Our member, Andrew Bould is co-ordinating this process, so if you need further information or clarification please contact him on 5156 6494 or andrewbould@bigpond.com <\/p>\n
Looking forward to seeing some of you at either of these functions and don\u2019t forget you BYO lunch and elevenses.<\/p>\n
With best wishes<\/p>\n
