I am excited to go on the trip because I will learn about the fish species there and get to leave the country to go to an island to do so. 

Today was a good day. We woke up bright and early then headed over to Hibiscus cabin for breakfast. Once we were fed, group Sea Dragon ( the one that I am in) headed to the tide pools to snorkel and catch small sea creatures. We found a giant hermit crab and a few r After we snorkeled for...

This morning our Cabin was tasked with serving the group breakfast off our balcony. If I say so myself we did great. After breakfast we attended an interesting presentation on sea turtles by Dr. Gore. She then came with us to the yacht harbor where the best group (Sea Monkey) went to go tag turtles. Tagging the turtles was...

After applying an enormous amount of sunscreen, we went to meet Dr. Shannon, who is a turtle conservationist. She told us about the history of turtles in the...

We then split off into our boat groups; while one boat went to try and tag sea turtles, we went down to the shore to learn about reef invertebrates. After snorkeling for a bit, I...
