BioFilm Project

Pre-Experiment: Clean plexiglass plates submerged at depths of 0 to 5 meters at Pier 40

several months later - some growth

Dave of GreenThumb (right) ran similar experiments down south and volunteered to assist us on the project - fortunately Don was around to help with knots

Roy and Dan submerge the unit into the winter waters

CAS student, Dan, measures growth on the plates after 2 weeks in the water - the lower plates have developed a white film
