MY RESEARCH PROJECT!

I have been thinking on what to write about all day and I’ve finally decided that today I would like to talk to you about my research project.
I’m doing a research project about Cala Montjoi. I have to study and calculate the quantity of animals that live there, so I’m doing a biological study of the site.
I have divided the bay in 5 zones in different areas because what I want to do is to compare the quantity and the different species of animals that you can find from one place to another.
There can be many reasons why there should be a difference from one zone to another, like for example; the wind and the waves of the sea can be a main reason for this distribution of aquatic animals. They can influate quite a lot because maybe some species of animal prefer to live in opened seas and maybe the others prefer to live in sheltered areas that protect them from the wind and the waves or currents of the seas.

During the summer I’ve had to go every Sunday by boat to Cala Montjoi to analyse and see the number of species that are there. I have had to go in the sea the sunny days but I also had to go in when the sea was quite rough!
I was very scared to go in when the sea was rough!

Oh yeah! Before I forget! I also had to take photos of the animals I found under water with an aquatic camera! I have to say it was quite difficult to take photos of the fish. They just wouldn’t sit still! So I had to chase them like a lunatic!

Now that I’ve done the practical part, now comes the worst part of the research project! The theory!

So that’s a whole lot more hours on the computer! (Just what I needed!)
