Name of counter

Date

Time of collection

Sampling Location

Latitude (e.g., 43.385787)

Longitude (e.g., -72.08125)

# Tows

Net diameter (m; default = LSPA net)

Vol slide (ml)

Notes

1. Enter your information in the boxes above and click "Submit Info" to log the information.

Default values are for LSPA protocols: e.g., 2 m sample depth, net ring size, rows counted, and volume on slide (Sedgewick Rafter)
If you vary from these defaults, please change the value and click Submit Info again to adjust the calculations

2. As you move across your slide, use the counters below to keep track of the #cells/colonies of each type of cyanobacteria.

Aim to count 3 random rows of your slide - if you count more or less than 5 rows, please change the number of rows in the box above to adjust the calculations
You can preview the data at any time at the bottom of the page (this is what will appear in the downloaded .CSV file)

3. When you are done counting, click "Export data" to download it as a .CSV file to your computer.
