Lesson Exchange: Brine Shrimp (Elementary, Science)
A warning: Brine shrimp are not completely predictable animals. Occasionally the method described
has not worked--the eggs have not hatched or the newly hatched shrimp have died within a few
days. If you have difficulty, you can involve your students in a search for a method that will work
for your particular set of conditions. The children will gain a sense of the delicacy and complexity of
a living organism and the rather narrow range of conditions under which it can live. (I usually have been
successful in having children keep their jars going for about 2-3 weeks--then they go home)

Maryland Phytoplankton - Microcystis Update
Microcystis aeruginosa is a common species of cyanobacteria (often called blue-green algae) that blooms in the fresh and low salinity portions of the Chesapeake and Coastal Bays and can become quite striking if it floats and forms a surface scum. The water may show the appearance of blue-green paint floating or billowing near the surface.

New York Marine Fishing Reefs
Descriptions and locations of several reef sites: Artificial reefs have long been used to enhance marine habitat and attract marine fish and other animals for harvest. Reefs are built of any hard, durable structure that simulate the habitat of particular species of fish, crustaceans or mollusks. Most artificial reefs in New York are made of rock, concrete, or steel, usually in the form of surplus or scrap materials. Our reefs were developed to provide new fisheries habitat and more accessible fishing grounds for anglers. Divers also visit our reefs for nature observation, photography, and catching lobsters.
