Yi Xin collect summer season water sample in Daya Bay

On July 4-5, Yi Xin went to Daya Bay with two of her friend volunteers to collect her summer season water samples for DBC analysis. This was the first time for her to independently organize a field trip, from renting the ship, sampling and shipping of the samples. Se succeed in collecting samples at 5 stations each with 40 litre of seawater.

The sampling stations @ Daya Bay.

The slogan sign is helpful for the coastal guard to identify our purpose.

It is windy with strong wave on the sea.
