Marine Biology Camp Session 3, Day 5 - We had another successful fish tagging trip to the Mashta Bridge today after a visit to the UM Aplysia lab on Virginia Key. The schoolmaster snapper was just one of the fish we tagged and released. Thank you again to the KBPD for helping with traffic control on the bridge.

Marine Biology Camp Session 2, Day 4 (Sea Turtle Day). Thank you to Sarah and the staff from the Miami-Dade County Parks Sea Turtle Conservation Program for the outstanding presentation this morning. There are two things I can't control in the camp, weather and nature. Both cooperated this morning as the rain stopped in time for the program and Sarah found a live turtle hatchling in the nest while doing her nest evaluation. You should have seen the looks on the kid's faces when Sarah pulled a live turtle from the nest!
