Video Update- Days 1-3

A brief video montage of most of the activities that we have partaken in over the past 3 days!!

Day Two: On the Research Vessel Cape Fear

Tuesday, March 21, we began the morning with waffles!  Then met with Mr. M and crew for a day aboard the research vessel Cape Fear.  Beautiful weather and bouncy seas!




Our captain going over the rules for going out to sea!







Today, we took water and sediment samples using unique equipment, and analyzed our data!




During today's experience, we had the opportunity  to trawl. We luckily got to catch some interesting species, such as; shrimp, stingrays, squids, a jellyfish, and a variety of fish! Afterwards, we released them back into the water, unharmed!


After a very long boat day, our trip back to the dock was spent napping.


We made it back to shore!
  

After a day of research, we took a walk down to our beach!!
