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!! |
