Hey everyone! Even though we were really bumbed out that our boat trip today was canceled due to the wind we still had an AWESOME day. We had a lecture today about intertidal life that was really interesting. I didn't know that there are different 4 zones and that there are different species that indicate what zone we are in. It was really neat to learn about. After we got back from dinner we decided to head down to the beach to look in the tide pools since the tide was really low. We saw a lot of intertidal life. One of my favorite things that we saw tonight was the Sea Hare. It looked like a really big slug and that it kinda what it felt like to. We saw many different types of crabs like the Lumpy Arm Crab and a Decorator Crab. It was really cool. We pretty much decided that the majority of the time we were looking in the mid lower zone or zone 3 because we saw many Turbo snails and also the Lumpy Arm Crab which we learned in lecture this afternoon are the indicator species of that specific zone. Hopefully tomorrow mother nature will comply and permit us to go out to Bird Island where some of us can Scuba dive! I am so excited!!!
