Welcome!

Students did post to this blog site while we conducted our field study. We invite your comments and thoughts.

Our field deployment focused on three chief tasks; 1. Mapping the reef floor in 3D, 2. Shoreline Marine Debris investigation, and 3. Environmental characteristics sampling. All went exceedingly well.

This was the second trip in our long term plans. Our first trip and proof of concept was completed with great success in the Fall of 2009; our next proposed trip will be Fall 2010. Don't you want to join us?

No Hurries No Worries

Hello All... WaterBear here! Its been a wonderful journey so far. Today I saw two dolphins playing around our boat. They were very curious. We went snorkeling yesterday and saw coral, sponges, and even a sea star. We had rain the first couple of days and that kept us cooler, but the sun was out full force today. Our data collection is going great! We've collected many samples that are georeferenced and performed water analysis such as pH, DO,salinity, conductivity, and temperature. Wish you were here!

    How does the debris compare to the November trip? Sounds like you're getting a lot done and having fun too. We have a heat wave waiting for you when you come home, maybe as high as 103 on Sunday. Everyone misses you and can't wait for you to get back.
