NOTES: Soil cores were attempted aprroximately 20 times. Each time, only rhizomous/root material was obtained. No actual soil above 10 cm. 20 cm soil coring was attempted but still only root like material. Soil cores werent collected as such. Benthic periphyton was never observed. Correction to periphyton in logbook: Periphyton was collected from proximity of periquadrat which included sweater and floating periphyton. PC sample comprised of sweaters and floating periphyton . 120 ml collected. Periquadrat did not contain periphyton, only very dense sawgrass. Approximately 10-15% cover in areas surrounding the periquadrat, within station. While searching for soil cores, no floc was observed in any of the core attempts.
