My first marine biology blog in France

 

One of the things I enjoyed learning is that the Mediterranean Sea is warmer than the rest of the water in the worlds ocean. I like this fact as there is nothing more annoying than the ocean water being cold in my opinion. I also liked learning the strait of Gibraltar keeps the water calm in the Mediterranean Sea which allow for beautiful waves all year round. Knowing that the sea in the Mediterranean Sea is calm all the time makes going on ocean based adventures way easier as there are no bad days on the water. I also enjoyed learning about the tides and they are effected by the moon.

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

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.

Fish everywhere! Nastia Andreyeva

  This week I had a lot of fun snorkeling in the ocean which is something I’ve never had the chance to do. I think that it helped me a lot not be as scared of the ocean when I go to the beach by seeing all the types of animals that are swimming around in that area. I was surprised to see how many groups of little fish there were swimming around and the vary of the marine animals there were as well. This week I also learned a lot about Angelfish since I chose them to do my essay on. A fact that I learned about them while researching that I thought it was really cute that they stay loyal to their mates their whole lives.   Pufferfish at Musee Oceanographic in Monaco
