1. My topic is now on the reintroduction of marine animals used for research or endangerment.

2. The problem with my science fair project is that the ocean's acidity is rising and it is unprojected how some animals will do during that time therefore I am testing Aurelia aurita also known as the moon jellyfish in these conditions.

3. If the acidity of ocean water is lower, then the size of the Aurelia aurita ephyra and polyps will be smaller.

4. I have gotten three trays with twenty wells each and filled them with 7.5 pH, 7.8 pH, and 8.1 pH(the ocean's acidity,) respectively. I then took the Aurelia aurita from the polyp stage and measure the average growth per tray of the ephyra they produce. It will require 2M HCl, a beaker of seawater, pH measuring probe, wells, Aurelia aurita polyps, and pH strips, along with rotifers to feed them.
