Today we welcomed Bell and South Carleton High Schools to campus. Unfortunately, the day started off with rain but progressed to sunny skies by the afternoon. Throughout the day the students took part in three different activities to introduce them to the local marine environment: a tour of the aquarium, a study of plankton in the lab, and a trip on the Fundy Spray to collect plankton, benthic invertebrates, and oceanographic data such as sea temperature and salinity. Below are some pictures from our great day.
