The very final trip to Carlsbad

Just as one thought that there was plenty of data for the project:
Let's collect more data!!!

So back to Carlsbad it goes!

For one day (coupled with a night of fun in San Diego) I dorve down to collect water from the area around Carlsbad Desalination Plant.
This included filling ten big 20L jars with water and carry them back to the truck. No need explaining that my arms were dead the week after!

Now, back with water, I am setting up for two final experiments:
1) Will the brine discharge impact the biome living in the sediment?
2) Will it impact a benthic creature like a brittlestar?
