Leo Hayes High

For the past few days we have had students from Leo Hayes High on campus.  While here the students have learned about the marine habitat while aboard our research vessel, the Fundy Spray, studied plankton in the lab, toured the Huntsman Fundy Discovery Aquarium, completed a lab about microbeads found in toothpaste and facial scrubs, cleaned up our beach (thank you!!), gathered data on an invasive species, and job shadowed with the Huntsman Aquaculture Department.  Here are some pictures of their experiences on campus.

Microbead lab.

All of the blue spots are microbeads (plastic) that were in the toothpaste.  Yuk!

Cleaning up the Huntsman beach.

Searching for the invasive green crab.

Crabs are measured and then given a mark of nail polish.

Cool! The students found a crab that was regenerating one of its claws.

Job shadowing and learning about salmon aquaculture.
