buoys marking oyster biological indicators at Monie Creek, a tributary of Monie Bay, National Estuarine Research Reserve
Buoys in Monie Creek
These oyster biological indicators were collected after deployment in a tributary of Monie Bay. One set had a greenish tinge, while the other did not, even though both sets were deployed at the same site.
