COLLECTING DATA

My data collection plan is to go to Ali’i beach and do a timed swim. We printed our data sheet on waterproof paper and our swim will be for 30 min. We determined our locations for our spot along with the coordinates and multiple collections of data will be collected. Our method was the best way to collect useful data because it is the simplest. We selected an area to swim in for 30 min and with our data sheet we collect data. It's simpler than transects and we can cover more in less time. The current is a little too strong in this season to do a transect so a timed swim was the safest.
