<p class="MsoNormal">In a collaborative project with King County biologists, we are seeking a motivated team of 2-4 students to 1) identify and quantify organisms in photographs from settling plates in deep central Puget Sound water; 2) conduct data analyses;
and 3) write a report and possibly a journal article describing the project and results.<o:p></o:p></p>
