Field guide to San Diego Bay
Students conducted an environmental assessment of the fauna along the intertidal zone of San Diego Bay, which included analyzing species’ abundance and diversity, and assessing human impact upon different sites within the Bay.
To provide a complete picture of their fieldwork, the students produced a Field Guide, which included scientific studies, creative writing, photographs, histories of human development, and maps of human impact on the bay.
Since the project was carried out in 2004, the students’ research has been used by organizations including the City of San Diego and the State of California in order to evaluate the health of the Bay and seek solutions to improve its ecology.
