Yesterday's activities included a trip on our research vessel, the Fundy Spray, to collect marine invertebrates and plankton; time in the lab to study the phytoplankton and zooplankton samples; a tour of the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Aquarium; and time in the lab to examine and classify the diversity of animals that were collected during the scallop drags on the boat.
Check out some pictures from the day.
