Glenburnie - Day 3 & 4

The past few days have been filled with data collection on green crabs, a wildlife watching trip with Quoddy Link Marine, a tour of Sir William Van Horne's Estate on Ministers Island, and time to make some marine themed art.  Currently, the group had headed into St. Andrews to do some shopping.

Some were pretty big!
