Today was a day to give back to the environment. We started off the day the same as yesterday, eating breakfast at the marina and then heading off to Long Bay. There we started the first stage of our coral replant project. First we grabbed our snorkel gear and jumped into the salt water, to find us some elk horn or stag horn coral to replant. We spotted some pretty cool stuff along the way; we saw moon jelly fish, and squid. Then we returned to the boat and grabbed our scuba tanks, to actually remove parts of healthy coral and replant them elsewhere. We where the only group to retrieve elk and stag horn coral. Shortly after the first dive we eat lunch and started out on the second dive, to replant the coral. In total we replanted about 56 pieces coral. That should be enough to restore the marine habitat that was damaged by hurricane Katrina and he run off from the road ways. After a quick diving contest, we headed back to the marina and then the cabins. About two hours after arriving at the cabins we went to dinner, to end the day. It was a great day.
