Content Question Review

Content Question How can animals provide
evidence for the health of Suisun Marsh?
The way animals can provide evidence for the
health of the marsh is as follows if the animals
that we observe are still there in a few months,
and are still healthy, we know that the marsh has
seen little change, thus is still a healthy place
for them to live.

Suisun Marsh ProjectConclusion

I saw many healthy looking animals at the marsh
including hawks, turkey vultures, herons, cranes,
and pelicans, and decided that
According to my results, I conclude that the
Suisun Marsh is still a healthy place for animals
and birds to live in.
Also, if we go back to the marsh in a few months
our observations may stay the same or they way
change depending what happens to the environment
while we were gone.
