Although the day started out cold and overcast, we ventured out to the Friday Harbor Labs with our field notebooks to observe and document our deep sea invertebrates. We gained further knowledge on taxonomy while also learning about the feeding strategies of different invertebrates. After a quick lunch at the dorm, we headed up to the science classroom to listen to an algae expert, Rebecca Guenther. There, we learned about how kelps and other seaweeds are named. Soon after, we discovered the beauty that is found in algae by creating works of art and pressing them onto special paper. We ended the day with a trip to the west side of the island and a sunset kayak tour led by naturalist Jason Gunter.
