Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

1. Well, yesterday when I was doing mentorship at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, I found a new type of species of hydromedusa. For my second independent component, I plan on raising the hydromedusa from its ephyra stage, to its medusa stage.
2. I believe that my plan will meet the 30 hour requirement, because I will have to clean the tank, feed it, and study the hydromedusa until it reaches adulthood. This process will take a little longer than 30 hours though.
3. I found the hydromedusa in the boat launch, where there is a lot of anthropogenic activity, and I want to see if the pollution hinders the hydromedusa's ability to grow normally.
