Hello all! The dive today was a great success, and all samples necessary to tomorrow's analysis were collected successfully. As of this past fall, we have attempted to monitor our dive profiles for the 20 meter collection, and have posted the results online. Click here to view the dive profiles.

The externs are busy at work preparing for the NaGISA Spring 2014 Collection and Analysis.  The collection is planned for April 29th at Henderson Beach State Park. Early in the morning, the NaGISA team will split up into dive groups and beach groups.  The dive groups will head out on the dive boats while the beach groups will set up on the beach.  After a few practice runs, the team will perform the official collection.  The beach groups will also run an educational program for the local middle and elementary schools at the beach.  The samples will sit overnight in the laboratory until analysis the following day.

The NaGISA Extern team is hard at work preparing for the 2014 Spring Collection which is scheduled for April 29th at Henderson Beach Park.

In other news, we are very excited about our new website.  Our webmaster, Brayton Miles, has been diligently creating a professional site to represent our research program. 

The leadership team is beginning to work with the Choctaw Basin Alliance.  Our next Swift Creek monitoring session is scheduled for February 12th.  We are hoping to include other NaGISA members starting next month.

The Gifted Program recently gave a presentation to the upcoming Niceville High School freshmen.  We are looking forward to seeing them in the NaGISA program next year.

Stay tuned for more updates!
