Saint John High - Day 1

This morning we welcomed the Grade 12 IB Biology class from Saint John High to campus.  Today the students gathered data on the intertidal flora and fauna for their zonation project and marked periwinkles they will recapture tomorrow to estimate the population.  The highlight of the afternoon was when a seal poked its head out of the water to see what we were doing.  He was very curious!

The students are currently touring the sea lice section of the Huntsman aquaculture department before heading up to the residences to start their zonation write up.
