Field Notes
There was lots of seaweed and rock weed. The sand was more rocky, and wet. The rock weed clung to the rocks. There were some small and one big crab in the seaweed. I think that the invasive species lacy crust bryzoan are not affecting the biodiversity of Falmouth Maine, because we did not find any kelp, or lacy crust bryzoan in our area.
Supporting Evidence
This is rock weed, I know that it is not lacy crust bryzoan, because it has little air bubbles on the surface and tips.
I know that we didn't find lacy crust bryzoan because this rockweed was the only plant in our quadrat, and the branches separate into two branches at the tips, thus proving that there was only rock weed, and no lacy crust bryzoan.
I know that this is not lacy crust bryzoan because it is not a white- cream color, plus it is not growing on rocks or kelp, which we didn't find any at all.

Photos
I just wanted to say that your photos are great. Very clear for both the site photos and the evidence photos. I enjoy the detail that one can see in the evidence photos. You build a very strong "Not Found" case here. Nice job. Keep it up!
