Week 2 Shark Bay

Beautiful seagrass patterns of Sharkbay: Let the fieldwork begin!

The team: Laura, me, Leon, Fons & Tjisse above the seagrass patterns

The seagrass leaves of Amphibolis are still full of red pigment after the winter period and make a really beautiful underwater panorama..We were very lucky with the weather and could work in extremely calm waters. In September the water temperature is between 18 and 20 C and a 5mm wetsuit is still quit cold.

Tjisse and Fons are analyzing the photosynthetic efficiency of our seagrass samples until 5 in the morning

Thanx Leon & Laura for additional pictures!
