The Science Department is purchasing several pieces of equipment to expand the capabilities of Seatime students. We have ordered a high definition underwater video camera with gps overlay for conducting quantitative transect surveys of benthic organisms and a YSI sonde with dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity and turbidity probes. The sonde will allow students to increase the number of vertical profile stations they can perform. The emphasis in our Seatime program is to map subtidal habitats in western Casco Bay and collect baseline oceanographic and biological data.
