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-Snorkeling
Snorkeling was something I have never done out in the ocean, it was a great experience I got to see deeper into the ecosystem of the ocean. This area was no coral reef with tropical fish but, I was able to see a variety of fishes I haven't seen before. Being able to see their habitats and how some swim in little schools with each other was very interesting. Seeing the seagrass at the bottom was new as well, usually, I am used to regular seaweed. My favorite part was being able to see a jellyfish, I had never seen one in person before that wasn't beached. Overall, snorkeling was a great and new experience and I got to see more of the fish ecosystem than ever before. Macie Mattocks
