Wittenberg University's Marine Science program offers many opportunities for field study, which are practical, hands-on experiences that often lead to more extensive collaborative research projects with faculty members. One of the most popular field study experiences takes place in The Bahamas.
Greetings to our followers back home! Most of us would agree that today was the best day of our trip so far. Our morning began with a delicious pancake breakfast, followed by a return trip to one of our favorite sites, Snapshot Reef.
Today’s blog is brought to you by Kayla and Aly! The day started off bright with only a few wispy clouds in the sky as we headed out to Rice Bay in the early morning.
After a decent nights rest, the gang got up for a hearty breakfast of oatmeal and scrambled eggs. With our bellies full, we hopped on the truck and took a short ride to our morning destination, Bonefish Bay.
Today, we spent our Memorial Day and Allie’s birthday going to East Beach and conducting a trash survey! There are no land masses between this beach and Africa allowing trash to easily accumulate from all around the world.
We started the day as usual, eating our daily serving of eggs and a muffin. After breakfast, we boarded the truck for our last snorkel at Snapshot Reef. It was a bittersweet morning knowing it would be our last swim together as a group.
Since yesterday only half of the class could fit on the boat, today the other half took the trip out to Gaulin Reef. Unfortunately, one person got a little sea sick…but luckily recovered later in the day.
Today was just another Monday here at the GRC...well, kind of. We devoured our breakfast of French toast and sausage that energized us for an exciting snorkel and dive trip out to Gaulin Reef.
After a beautiful, bug-free, and breezy night, our day started off as a peaceful Sunday morning with some much needed unscheduled time. Most people caught up on sleep, played cards, or did some extra work on presentations or research projects.
