Scallop Video Work Analysis

Now the data collection has been complete the analysis of data and report writing must be done.

Working in a team the other environment officers and I have begun to conduct statistically analysis and compile a report. 

With vast amounts of data there are many options to look at such as abundances, species richness and biodiversity indexes. 

I suggested looking at the height differences in Dead Man's Fingers (DMF) as I observed from the video analysis that they height in DMFs varied massively between areas with little or no scallop dredging and areas with high levels of scallop dredging. 

Using ImageJ software I measured the heights of over 1000 DMF selected from random specimins over the video footage from 2019. The data was analysed using an ANOVA which showed significant difference between areas of varying dredging activity.
