The latest experiment on Derawan

December 25, 2011

Just got back on the mainland. Last month we succesfully set-up a large experiment on Derawan to look at interactive effects of hydrodynamics & turtle grazing on seagrasses. This involved building 30 cages and 15 large underwater wave-bunkers for which we almost used al the sand from the nearby sand spit. To determine the location of the plots we used an unmanned aerial photo plane. A small disaster happened and the plane crashed in the telephone tower, and the plane is now in Switserland for repair. See below for a photo-report of the last month:
