PLANS II PLankton And Nutrient Studies for the Chesapeake Bay

What is PLANS II A NOAA-funded collaboration between: CBNERR Morgan State University, PEARL The Society for Ocean Sciences An inquiry-based learning program to build an understanding of the sources, impacts and possible control strategies for nutrient enrichment of the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River

Nutrient Limitation in the Chesapeake Bay

1. What are the different types of plankton and why are they important? 2. What nutrient (N or P) controls the growth of algae at any particular point in time and location in the Bay? 3. What are the processes and mechanisms that cause the limiting nutrient to vary seasonally? 4. What nutrient sources are the most critical to control on local / regional scales?

Preparation Phase Understand the different types of plankton and the role they each play in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem Review the sources and impacts of nutrient enrichment Introduce the concept of nutrient limitation Design a “nutrient limitation” Bioassay

Viewing a Live Plankton Sample

Action Phase Location – CBNERR Collect: Water quality data Water samples Plankton samples Dredge samples View plankton samples microscopically Set up and carry out an oyster feeding experiment while at CBNERR Site Return to classroom and set up a nutrient limitation bioassay

Reflection Phase Review / analyze data from nutrient limitation Bioassays Employ appropriate web resources to develop a local and regional perspective on sources of N and P (Discussion) Participate in Capstone Activities
