As we come to the last week, or should I say the final days of our program there are many things that I have learned. Especially about the ocean, before I came I knew nothing about the ocean let alone the different kinds of fish. Other than that the water is cold and very salty don’t drink it. For example, you have the different types of groups, you have the boney fish that of course have bones. Then you have the cartilage fish where instead of bones they have cartilage. Then last but not least you have the jawless fish, as the name implies they lack a jaw. And that some fish can show old they are just by how tilted they are. Not only that they can’t pick
which side they want to flop. Let alone flip sides, that really surprised me.

This week we got to go scuba diving, we went to Cimiez, visited Musee Massena and we went to Monaco and went to the oceanographic museum. We went scuba diving in seagrass which is something I have not done before. We got to hold a short-spined sea urchin and I could feel it sticking to my hands. Cimiez and the Massena Museum were beautiful and the gardens looked Nice. Monaco was my favorite part of this week. The ocean view was so pretty. The oceanographic museum was amazing and the moon jellyfish were mesmerizing. I really enjoyed walking around the museum and learning about old fishing patterns.
