Royal West Academy - Day 2

Yesterday the Royal West students had a busy day filled with lots of different activities, including a trip on our research vessel, the Fundy Spray, time in the lab to identify seaweeds and plankton, and a visit to the beach to gather data on intertidal zonation patterns.  I look forward to seeing the students present their zonation projects on Saturday!
