My name is Kyle Minkler. I live in Kihei Maui, Hawaii. I go to Kihei carter high school. In my science class we went to the Kihei boat ramp and learned about plankton. There we got a plankton sample with a plankton net. Then we went back to class and looked at the samples through a microscope. In all we found out that there were more worms then shrimp and copepods.
