Narrow your potential MSB questions down to one that might work for you. Then, do the following:

1. Post the main question.
How do motorboats/ jet skis effect water quality?

2. Post at least three sub questions that relate to the main question, help you answer it, might generate interesting research or resources, address part of the issue, could help you if you get stuck, etc.
-What can we do to reduce the effects?
-Why is it important to reduce the effects?
-Are there possible solutions we can create to stop there effects on water quality?

3. Post at least three potentially useful resources. These could be news stories, videos, photography, etc.

-http://bordersewagecoalition.blogspot.com/
-http://www.greenecoservices.com/get-with-blue-oceans-seas-and-marine-life/

4. Write a few sentences or make a list of ideas that you got from your resources that could help move your project forward. How can you apply this information? How might it work for you?
- The last resourced listed is a Eco friendly organization that helps with jet ski' and boat pollution."promotes policy changes in government and industry to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and eradicate other root causes of air and water pollution, global warming, and habitat destruction. Also leads campaigns to protect National Parks from jetskis, snowmobiles and other recreational vehicles, and to prevent environmental damage from pollution caused by ferries, cruise ships, and other large vessels." This can help move my project along by interviewing some of the people invoked with the hands on testing and who see what they are doing to our water quality personally.
