Both first year classes of Marine Science students visited Race Rocks on Thursday 11 April in order to measure abiotic factors in the rocky intertidal zone and to compile a species list. B block students braved the elements in the morning and although I didn’t take any photos of them on the island, they were great explorers and we all survived despite the very windy weather…
D block students were very fortunate in two ways – the sun was shining on them and they were accompanied by Garry Fletcher, Educational Director of Race Rocks.
Abiotic factors such as water temperature and salinity were recorded…
And a few species observed & recorded…
Then it was back to Pearson College again…
Thanks to Laila for the D block photos!
