Sim Aberson (NOAA/AOML/HRD)
Howie Friedman (NOAA/AOML/HRD)
On Friday, 15 February, Howie Friedman and Sim Aberson judged the Broward
County Science Fair. NOAA allowed for three awards, they chose:
- Chelsea Hazlett of Crystal Lakes Middle School
"Artificial Reefs... How Many Fail?"
Chelsea gathered data on the health of various types of artificial and
natural reefs around South Florida while diving, and compared the
makeup of various types of artificial reefs to natural coral reefs.
- Alyssa Falise of Atlantic Technical Magnet High School
"Pollution in Coast Waters."
Alyssa tested water around Hillsborough Inlet for fecal material and
e. coli, and compared the results to currents and tides in the
area.
- Lindsay Precht of American Heritage High School
"The Effects of Herbivorous Sea Urchins on Reef Algae."
Lindsay looked at the amount of algae different species of native
Caribbean sea urchins in captivity ate during a few week period off the
Florida Keys.
We also awarded the American Meteorological Society prize to Zachary
Gruskin for his work on a possible unnamed tropical storm during the
2006 hurricane season. Zach is currently an intern at HRD.
