French Bay Reef
Today we saw the most awesome reef! It was filled with huge fan corals and brain corals. It was a sight to see. The wave action made it difficult to swim so we had to cut our data collection activities short. The questions I received from yesterday’s blog were great! I wanted to answer one of your questions. Nathaniel’s question: What kind of plant life have you seen? On the coral reef, we have seen many different species of algae. The Island is rich in plant diversity. It has mangroves, palm trees, cactus, and many other types of plants. Keep blogging! I will try to answer some more of your questions tomorrow during our skype call.

Hello Ms. Daphne,
I can see everything is going well and I can't believe this week is almost over. I noticed that you had to miss one day of data collection because of the wind. Will that make you fall behind? Will that day be made up? Plus when do you get back. Hope you are having fun I am sure you are.
