Even though we had left pretty early, I did not expect to arrive in the nick of time. The good thing was that we had least arrived somewhat on time and got to be with the group. But while we were there at the estuary I had noticed it was a whole lot more tropical than I had initially thought. Not only that it had a lot more life than I had also initially thought, their things such as ducks, swans, lots of spiders as well as vegetation and lots of algae. Cool fact about algae that I did not know until the lesson was that they can dry themselves out. And rehydrate themselves if there is water around of course to survive. Not only that I did not know that they could survive in higher salinity waters than I had thought.
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
