    The document describes a lab where students monitored mangrove restoration in the north beach area compared to natural regrowth in the south beach over five years. Data was collected on mangrove coverage, number of species, and average height. While the north beach initially had better recovery, after five years the results were similar between the beaches, indicating the restoration project was not more effective than natural regrowth.

    Ocean’s Impact on Weather

    Instructions: In the Ocean’s Impact on Weather Lab, you explored the effects of restoring mangrove habitat
    compared to natural mangrove regrowth following a natural disaster. Record your observations in the lab
    report below. You will submit your completed report.
    (30 points possible)

    Name and Title (1 point)


    Include your name, teacher’s name, date, and name of lab.

    Objective(s) (2 points)
    In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab?
    The purpose of this lab is to see if the restoration project works better than the natural way.

    Hypothesis (2 points)
    Identify the independent and dependent variables in your investigations.

    The independent variable is the mangroves and the dependent variable is the restoration team.

    State your hypothesis.

    My hypothesis is if I replant the mangroves by myself in the north beach, then the north will repair
    faster than the south beach.

    Procedure
    At the north beach, your team will implement a project to replant three mangrove species and monitor
    their growth over five years. The growth of the replanted mangroves will be compared to the natural
    regrowth of mangroves in the south beach area. Mangrove growth in both beach areas will be
    monitored via satellite. You will record data for each location about the percentage of mangrove
    coverage, the number of species in the area, and the average mangrove height in order to assess the
    health of the beaches.

    Data and Analysis (16 points)


    Complete each table below by recording the collected data, and then create graphs to display the data.

    Create a graph to display the mangrove coverage from the first data table. It should be a line graph
    showing percent coverage over time and have two lines of data points on it, one for the north beach
    and one for the south beach. Title and label the graph. (3 points)

    Create a graph to display the number of species from the second data table. It should be a line graph
    showing the number of species over time and have two lines of data points on it, one for the north
    beach and one for the south beach. Title and label the graph. (3 points)

    Conclusion (9 points)
    Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please
    answer in complete sentences.
    1. Was the restoration project effective? Explain why or why not, supporting your answer with
    information from your data tables and graphs.
    At first it was effective because north beach had more mangroves growing then south beach
    but towards the end they both had the same percentage being 80% and south beach had 55
    species and north only had 51.

    2. Why was counting the number of species in the area important? In your answer, consider the
    effect a mangrove habitat has on biodiversity.
    It shows how much the hurricane had affected the beaches.
    3. After five years, the average height of each mangrove species was also measured. Did this
    information help you better evaluate the success of the restoration project, or did it change your
    mind? Explain your reasoning.

    Seeing the information of the mangrove trees helped me figure out my answer. The project was not
    successful because North beach had an average height of 3m while south beach had an average height
    of 3.7m.
