Kayaking and fish anatomy - Nastia Andreyeva

 This week was a really fun week were I got to learn a lot and do something’s that I’ve tried before. I learned a lot about fishes’ anatomy for example, and getting to dissect a fish and identify all its organs is something I never got to do in school before. I also learned how important the fish market is to Nice, which is cool to see because from the place that I’m from I’ve never seen people go out to buy fish from a market that sells all kinds of them. I really liked kayaking as well, I’ve never done it before and I believe that I did a lot better than I thought on the kayak.

Marine biology of the Mediterranean - Francesca Conway

  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.

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

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.
