Students had the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Islander (pictured). Unfortunately, due to the windy conditions, we were unable to venture out into Vineyard Sound. Nevertheless, students participated in a trawl drag and helped put the trawl in the water as well as retrieve it. In addition, they had the opportunity to help with a plankton tow. Students also had the opportunity to interact and touch a variety of local marine life. We ended our excursion using a high powered camera to look at the anatomy of some marine life such as the mouth of a sea urchin and the eyes a scallop.
