We got to sleep in late today. We visited a fish farm and learned about its potential. Fish farms can provide fresh food to people all around the world while at the same time reducing the strain on wild populations. We learned about how they require a lot of resources and need constant supervision. When properly taken care of however, they can prevent wild fish populations from going extinct. Today I realized how fish farms are a perfect medium for talking about how humans can impact the environment.
We also visited an Abalone farm. Abalone is a snail-like animal that inhabits the East Coast of the U.S. and Hawaii. The animal is most often served in sushi, and is very popular is Japan and California. The animal attaches itself to a shell and camouflage itself. Our tour guide shucked and cooked the Abalone right in front of us. They tasted very good, like unseasoned calamari. 
After that, we went cave snorkeling. The cave was freshwater, and was located near a rocky beach. The water was very brisk (cold), but at the same time very exhilarating. We searched for lobsters amongst the shallow uneven rocks, but found nothing. I observed the interesting geology of the cave and concluded that it was a lead a few hundred years old. It was formed from lava after a volcanic eruption. I know this because of the fire holes, cracks, and crevices I observed. We did not fully explore the cave because parts of it were fully underwater. The rocks were sharp and uneven, and due to the lack of sunlight it is impossible for marine life to live there. However Ms.Matthews claimed to have seen a few lobsters in the cave. I’m very excited for tomorrow. I am looking forward to working at the service site.
