Billion Oyster Project: 9^th-12^th grade: Data Analysis: Comparison of Oyster Shell Height

Our subtopic is the progression of the oyster shell height at the same location from 2 different time periods. We compared data from two locations that measured the height of oysters.

We used the provided data from the Billion Oyster Project. When the school collected the data they were following Billion Oyster Project protocol. The measurements were from the bill to the umbo.

Oysters provide numerous benefits for ecosystems and especially the NY harbor. This topic is relevant and important because the progress of the oysters growing will show us if we are getting closer to adding more oysters to the population.
