2013 Week 2

1. I find marine biology to be very interesting. Marine life fascinates me as it is a link to the past, because so many organisms in the oceans have been around since the beginning of time. 2. I haven't had any diving experience, but I am in the process of being certified. 3. I am looking forward most to diving and...

Day 4 Today, I awoke to the crowing of roosters, and the shuffling of feet. It was 7 o clock, and my whole crew moseyed on Down to the commissary to dine on Donuts and nutri grain bars. Dr. Gore debriefed is on everything to know about turtles. I think I can finally determine whether a turtle is green...

We are scurried to get our stuff together for another eventful day of adventure in the ocean. We met at the cattle guard, and walked...

We left to the commissary of breakfast then a presentation on sea turtles, how to catch them, what they eat, etc. Soon after, everyone jumped on the bus and we...
