Harbour View High

Students from the Harbour View High School Marine Biology class arrived on campus this morning excited for their field course.  While here the students went out on our research vessel, the Fundy Spray to collect specimens, studied marine invertebrates in the lab, and conducted a behaviour experiment with echinoderms.  They are now headed back to school with a jar full of live plankton they collected while out on the boat.  It was a quick and intense day but lots of fun!
