I made my first visit to my marsh for my field study on September 11. The air temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit and stayed dry and slightly humid all day long. The water temperature was 59 degrees. I made by visit at 7:36 and the length of the day was twelve hours and 34 minutes Some of the things I observed were many types of algae, frogs, duckweed, cattails, and lily pads. I noticed that the bottom of my swamp was very mucky, and everything sunk into the muck.
Good start. Keep watching your algae levels and water clarity throughout the study.
