Why did I take this course?
I took this course because I took Marine Biology 1 last year and I wanted to continue to study the course materials and see the improvement of the coral that our group transplanted last year. I also am fascinated by the ocean and love to study the fish and microscopic organisms that make it up.

Day 1~ Reunited
After a long day of travel, I had slept through the night like a baby. I woke up right around 6:30, got situated, and then decided that I would get some pictures of our view in the early morning.
