Along the way, we stumbled across students of the University of Washington, who were studying at Friday Harbor labs, and were taking a marine disease course. During our conversation, we learned more about the carbon cycle, and what role organisms and eelgrass plays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After our discussion, we drove back to the dorm and continued to work on our presentations. After working on our presentations for a couple hours, we prepared the house for our guest of the night; Jessica Newley! Ms. Newley works with VR exploration and education, and films 360 degree video of her exploration in the Puget Sound and Salish Sea. With her, we had the opportunity to learn about the salmon lifecycle, and how the Salish Sea plays a huge role in the development of juvenile salmon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today started off early; we were up and out of the house at 8:30!
