Hello, San Salvador!

 With a class average of 2 hours of sleep we started our day in the hotel lobby at 5:15 AM. Well… all of us except two anonymous individuals who slept in. We then split into two groups and took separate shuttles to the Miami airport. On the second shuttle Mike generously gave up his seat to sit by the door as protection from the Miami locals. 

After getting a quick breakfast and taking a quick hop to Nassau we observed our limited food options at the airport and settled on Wendy’s and Dunkin Donuts. We then spent a few hours enjoying the fresh air outside and “studying” for our upcoming exam. 

We then made our way to the domestic terminal where we patiently awaited our flight, which ended up being delayed one hour. We then made our way out to the tarmac where we boarded our tiny plane with well welcomed relief of seeing our bags being loaded on.

We took another short hop to our final destination, San Salvador, while we all gazed out at the blue water of the Bahamas in awe. After landing we met up with the station director, Troy, who generously helped us load our luggage onto the open bed truck and drove us to the Gerace Research Center. 

After a short orientation we dropped off our luggage in our rooms, got extra beds to accommodate 6 people in each, and headed off to dinner. At dinner we enjoyed a lovely meatloaf prepared by the station staff while the mosquitos enjoyed their meal, us. 


After a long day of travel, we all settled into our rooms and are very excited for our first full day on the island tomorrow, which will hopefully be filled with an island tour and some snorkeling! 


See you tomorrow!!


Sincerely - Alesandra and Breana

What Happens in the Cave Stays in the Cave

Bright and early, our alarms went off at 5:45 am to walk the half mile to Grahams’ Harbor to watch the sunrise. The view was fantastic, and a great way to start our day. After a delicious breakfast of French toast, bacon, and oatmeal, we loaded into the back of the truck for our daily adventure. Our first stop was at Dixon Hill Lighthouse where we climbed up a steep spiral staircase to reach the top, about 160 feet up in the air. We were given a short lesson on the historic oil mechanisms and weights that helped the lighthouse function. After all of us had a turn admiring the view from the top, we came down to inspect the millipedes that were crawling on the stairs and sign the guest book. While hanging out at the base of the lighthouse, a friendly dog approached us and was excited for pets and playtime. We decided to name the dog Mikey Junior, after our fearless leader Mike. In the process of playing with Mikey J, he ended up stealing the human Mike's hat!  Following our stop at t

1, 2, 3, Seagrass Yippee.

 Our morning started off with delicious pancakes and bacon to fuel us for a morning of counting seagrass. After breakfast we made our way to Graham's Harbor before stingray shuffling our way into the water just to find out that the tide was too high for counting seagrass in the shallow waters. We made our way to the deeper waters where Mike setup a transect line separated in 7 meter segments and at each segment we laid our quadrant. We then proceeded to take estimates of Manatee and Turtle seagrass coverage where visually, point intersect, and individual blade counts of the 2 different grasses were performed.   To help Liz count the seagrass Breana stood on her back to hold her down while she counted... very scientific.  Altogether we counted roughly 4000 blades of seagrass this morning... thanks Michael. When we plotted and viewed our data trends during lecture we noticed significant standard error. This trend exposed how amateur we were at counting sea grass. After escaping the n

Exam Day Fun

Image
1/9/23 We all woke up bright and early and after looking at the new bug bites we got overnight, we walked over for a 7:30 AM breakfast of French toast and sausages. Right after breakfast we got in the truck and drove to Rocky Point - our snorkeling location for the day. Rocky Point was a reflective beach located about 200 feet off the road from where the truck was parked. The weather was sunny and the air temperature was approximately 76 F and the water was right above 80 degrees.  With slates in hand we entered the after, ready to write down any observations or questions that came up.  The water around this patch reef was very clear and we were able to see lots of different species of coral, sponges, and fish. The reef was dominated by sea fans in bright colors, and lots of the fish that lived in close association with this reef were parrotfish, such as the rainbow parrotfish.  With high energy waves crashing onshore, we were able to feel the water movement even farther from shore lea
