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.
Blog post 3 - Julianne Stivers
This being our last week in Nice, I had mixed feelings. I am ready to go home but not ready for reality. That being said, this week was probably my favorite week of the 3. Snorkeling in the Mediterranean was an experience I’ll never forget. Even though I hardly was able to see because I couldn’t wear my glasses with the goggles, I was still able to make the most of it. The cute little jellyfish that I was able to see was my personal favorite. Then we got to go to the Océanographique Museum which I was looking forward to the most. I love all aquariums and nautical things and this place was both so win-win for me. I was slightly disappointed that the sea turtle wasn’t moving around too much because that’s my favorite animal but I still got to see it and take a few photos. The other exhibits were really cool and for me the other fishes were extremely active.
