The Study of Red Mangrove's Growth Based on Different Environment

Tank 9 (A1)

In this growth study of baby red mangroves the primary objective is to determine which environment is better suited to grow red mangroves, either a sump or a tank. The two environments are completely different and will offer varying impacts for the red mangroves. The tank (9 A1) is a controlled ecosystem that has multiple organisms living in the tank, along with the effects of water flow and a daylight schedule. Contrasting to the tank, the sump has no other organisms except green algae. The difference between the two environments will determine which is better suited for red mangroves to develop in. As a part of this experiment, the red mangroves will switch environments; the red mangroves from the sump will go to the tank and vise versa, to discover if the change in ecosystems impacts the red mangroves growth.
