Today, a few peers started their day at 0700 and headed to Deadman’s Bay, as well as Reuben Tarte (differing intertidal zones) to collect data for their differing science projects. While out at Deadman’s Bay, Miles found a piece of what seems to be a very old metal piece, possibly from a ship. Derek mentioned sending it to the museum to see how old the piece of metal is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some people were in the intertidal zones this morning, others were with Morgan Eisenlord, a PhD candidate at Cornell university in the Harvell lab, talking about strategies for how we will collect eel grass on Sunday (7\/14) with Morgan to do further research on the pathogen that is harming eel grass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After lunch, almost everyone went back up to the classroom with Morgan Eisenlord to do more planning and preparing for the mission on Sunday. I, Zoey, decided to go to the Friday Harbor Marina docks after lunch to work on my science project where I saw 21 Aequorea jellyfish, 2 Beroe and 1 fairly large jellyfish that is called Aurelia Aurita, a moon jelly. When I got back to the dorms I learned that everyone else had gone swimming in what I know as very cold waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When getting back from swimming and other activities everyone enjoyed a little free time and then headed to dinner where we met our guest for the night, Katie Dobkowski, a professor at Bates College in Maine, who specializes in many things but mainly the biotic and abiotic factors of organisms and also specializes in bull kelp. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
