Practice ID
Been awhile since you last monitored your waters for phytoplankton? Or do you just want to test your phytoplankton identification skills? Either way, use the following real water sample images to practice your ID abilities. Each sample is different and has the answers to go along with it.
Do you have a sample that would be great for other volunteers to use for practice? If so, use your MIC-D to take a picture of the sample and e-mail it to Jeff Paternoster.
