Essex - Day 3

Yesterday the Essex students had a day filled with marine worms, shopping and hiking.  Here are some pictures from the day.

Armed with buckets and shovels...

the students intently searched for marine worms.

They found some great specimens.









There were also LOTS of sand dollars!
